Default 300h with led vs hid

Hello,

I am trying to find some results being some between led and hid xenon lights used on 300h. Which one is better?

Does anyone have comparison between these lights? Led lights also have cornering lights, but xenon doesnt?

-D

Sorry mate but in europe they sold these with xenon and led. Hybrid itself doesnt mean anything with headlights.

It seems to be pretty mixed. Some prefer the throw of the HID vs the LEDs, while others say the LED casts a wider beam. Then there's the color... many prefer the cooler light the LED casts vs the warmer light from the HIDs. In the end, I think it's really personal preference.

No IS300h in Germany has HID. Same in Austria and Swiss. Poland and Sweden also. I don’t know from where you are- but it seems some kind of Ukraine or Belarus. Only there you get cars there not for the European Market. It’s like a testing stage for cars.
