Lighting Upgrades From a Higher Power: Putco Nitro Lux LED Headlight Kits
I think we can all agree that there’s a special place in Hell for people who drive down the interstate shining their high beams right in our eyes. It’s likely a small corner, one shared with those who stand so close to you in the grocery line that you can tell what they had for lunch.
But what about those poor souls who simply wanted to upgrade their factory halogens with some snazzy new bulbs, and reaching for the cheapest deal on the market, instead installed an inferior product that fails to properly direct the beam? Now they’re just driving around willy nilly, blinding oncoming traffic and completely unaware of their incredibly annoying crime against the whole of humanity. What happens to them??
Well, sad to say, they also go to Hell. (Hey, there’s a reason everyone tells you to do your homework.) But thankfully, there exists a savior. And its name is Putco.
That’s right, your favorite brand for auto accessories and quality lighting upgrades offers a solution, and it’s called the Nitro Lux.
According to the 2018 SEMA Market Report, overall accessory and appearance products pack a $23.05 billion market share—with lighting, specifically, carving out about $2.21 billion. In the grand scheme of things, this may not seem like much but when you consider the relatively affordable price point of lighting upgrades, that’s a whole lotta bulbs being sold. Sadly, it’s also likely a lot of the wrong bulbs being sold.
Enter: the only bulb you need.
Putco’s Nitro Lux Headlight Kit offers some truly restorative illumination for any voltage system. But before we explore just how it achieves this, let’s unpack the quality construction features of this great product. (The road to salvation requires a little effort on the part of the damned, okay?)
First, the bulb. A CSP LED, it’s rated to 5,000 lumens with 6,500K color temperature, making it Putco’s most powerful bulb ever. It gives off a strong bluish-white hue, similar to clean, bright natural sunlight. (Or the halo you’ll wear for your good judgment in lighting upgrades.) It’s housed in a high spec tower with a fully anodized non-reflective nickel finish that Putco explains will eliminate light ray interference inside the lamp.
Making the Nitro Lux “new and improved” is Putco’s Easy-ClockTM collar design. This clever innovation makes light beam adjustments incredibly quick and easy—meaning less chance of blinding other drivers with scattered rays. Additionally, Putco’s LED kits maintain the OEM light pattern. So you’re getting more powerful illumination, but in the direction and shape that those high-paid engineers determined is best for your ride.
The new Nitro Lux also features a slimmer 20mm heat sink depth, allowing it to better fit into the minimal housing space of most modern vehicle’s headlamps. And that’s not the only thing they’ve trimmed down—Putco has replaced the external anti-flicker module with miniature capacitors, reducing the size of the driver box by 80%. Additionally, they’ve pumped up performance with an advanced Tough SealTM polymer that ensures everything remains 100% waterproof.
And let’s not forget the nylon braided sleeves scientifically proven to provide superior heat mitigation. Made of polyethylene terephthalate mono filament fibers, they’re UV and abrasion resistant, provide a wide operating temperature range, and are exclusively patented to Putco.
Really, though, it comes down to two main characteristics: Installation and Durability.
Luckily, Putco’s got both covered.
First, installation is a breeze. Thanks to simple twist, lock, and slide pressure locks, the Nitro Lux fits perfectly with existing OEM harnesses for a flawless connection. And the precision terminals are 100% waterproof and dustproof, ensuring the bulbs stay safe and secure. But just in case something does happen, Putco backs the Nitro Lux with its extensive multi-year warranty program. And you won’t have to sign over your first born child or commit your soul to the big guy downstairs just to get a replacement. Just call up Putco and speak to any one of their friendly customer service reps and they’ll have you right as rain in no time. It’s that easy.
While we can’t guarantee Putco will help you find your inner light, at the very least this illuminating new product might kickstart a little soul-searching. And that could just have you on your way to divine automotive enlightenment.
