L2-H1/H3 Lucas Lighting H1/H3 LED Headlight Bulbs – 13,000 Lumens, Single Beam, Pair

Lucas Lighting L2-H1/H3 LED Headlight Bulbs – 13,000 Lumens, Single Beam

Upgrade your vehicle's factory H1 or H3 lighting with the Lucas Lighting L2-H1/H3 LED Headlight Bulbs. Part of Lucas Lighting's popular L2 Series, these high-output LED replacement bulbs deliver 13,000 lumens per pair with a brighter, whiter and sharper light output compared with traditional halogen bulbs.

The L2-H1/H3 is a single-beam LED application, designed for vehicles using compatible H1 or H3 bulb sizes. Lucas Lighting's current cross-reference lists H1ST/XV → H1 and 64146BC, H3-35W and H3-55W → H3. Always verify the original bulb size and application before ordering.

The L2 Series features a dedicated outboard controller that moves critical electronics away from the LED heat source while providing wider CANBUS compatibility. Moving the electronics outside the bulb also allows Lucas Lighting to use a compact bulb body with a side-firing cooling fan, which can be particularly helpful in applications where space behind the headlight is limited.

With IP67-rated-or-better protection, a high-quality LED chipset, instant-on operation, 10,000+ hour life expectancy and plug-and-play installation, the L2-H1/H3 provides a premium LED upgrade while remaining compatible with both standard reflector and projector-style housings.

H1 / H3 Single-Beam Replacement

The Lucas Lighting L2-H1/H3 is designed for compatible H1 and H3 single-beam applications.

Lucas Lighting's current bulb cross-reference identifies:

H1 Applications

• H1
• H1ST
• H1XV

H3 Applications

• H3
• 64146BC
• H3-35W
• H3-55W

Always verify the factory bulb number before ordering, especially when replacing an H3 bulb, since H3 applications can have different factory wattage configurations.

L2 Series Technology

The L2 Series was designed to improve on the previous L1 platform through improvements to the electronics, cooling system and physical design.

A major feature is the dedicated outboard controller. By moving critical electronics away from the LED heat source, Lucas Lighting can improve thermal management while providing wider CANBUS compatibility.

The outboard electronics also allow the actual bulb body to remain compact while incorporating a side-firing cooling fan. This design can be particularly useful in vehicles where clearance behind the factory headlight is limited.

The result is a compact LED replacement combining strong output, active cooling, electrical compatibility and straightforward installation.

Why Choose the L2-H1/H3?

The L2-H1/H3 is designed for customers who want a substantial LED upgrade while maintaining the convenience of a compact, plug-and-play replacement.

At 13,000 lumens per pair, the L2 Series provides strong LED output while maintaining a design intended to produce a focused light pattern and larger center sweet spot than conventional halogen lighting. Lucas Lighting describes the L2 as its popular LED replacement series and emphasizes its improved range of vision and focused center output.

The outboard controller and side-firing fan are particularly useful design features for applications with limited space behind the headlight. Wide CANBUS compatibility also helps the L2 integrate with many modern vehicle electrical systems.

Installation & Compatibility

The L2-H1/H3 is designed as a plug-and-play direct replacement for compatible H1 and H3 applications.

The L2 Series is compatible with both standard reflector and projector-style housings. Its compact bulb body and side-firing cooling fan can also be advantageous where available space behind the factory headlight is limited.

Because H1 and H3 are different bulb sizes, customers should confirm which bulb their vehicle uses before ordering.

For H3 applications, verify the factory bulb specification, including whether the vehicle uses a 35W or 55W H3 bulb, before installation. Lucas specifically lists both H3-35W and H3-55W in its current cross-reference.
