Acura CL Kepler HID to LED Headlight package (2001 - 2003)

2001, 2002, 2003 Acura CL – Kepler Series HID-to-LED Headlight Package

Finally, high performance LED bulbs that work with your stock HID headlight system. These Kepler Series 3 D2R bulbs are true plug-and-play replacements for the 2001, 2002, 2003 Acura CL and work with your existing 35W and 55W OEM ballasts. Remove the HID bulb, plug in the Kepler LED, tuck the cable — done.

How we test and measure our LED headlights

We test, measure, and compare our LED headlights against factory HID to make sure you get real, usable light — not just inflated lumen numbers.

Why lux, not just lumens?

Lumens = total light. Lux = light where you actually need it. A bad high-lumen bulb can still produce poor road visibility if the beam isn’t controlled. That’s why we measure at the same 15 points OEMs use (SAE J575 style).

• 1–3: glare / high beam points
• 4–5: driver-side cutoff
• 6–9: center beam intensity
• 10–15: uniformity left/right of center

Temperature testing

After 10 minutes of continuous output we measure LED chip temp and heatsink temp — lower temps = more efficient LED and longer life.

Beam comparison

Compared to typical HID, the Kepler LED shows higher lux in the core beam (points 6–9) and better fill in the outer points (10L–15R), which translates to a whiter, wider field of view.
