Is there a Difference between CREE LED and NON CREE LED?

Hey guys, this might be a stupid question but is there a difference in the two? Both are still LED's but from what I heard CREE is suppose to be brighter? Only reason asking is because I'm thinking of changing out the drl. Those yellow bulbs during the day for fugly...

Between the two website there was a difference in price... I am willing to spend where it's worth it. Quality over Quantity imo.

Any knowledge to learn would be helpful...

I have already changed out the interior and license-plate lights to led. FINALLY found 1 kit left of the Alabaster color front lip brand new sitting in a warehouse at a dealership.... and just purchased the C-PE Intake from a member on here. Only had the car for about...2 weeks lol. The itch got to me already.... Hoping to talk to a local shop here and by next year, the RDX will be on bags... :P

I have read that LED DRL doesn't work that well since it is a lower voltage/dimmed from the regular high beams. I have no experience myself, let me know if LED works out for you.

It sounds like you will not have high beam headlights anymore if you replace with the LED DRL?

Cree is a Chinese brand that makes the LED and related componants. I have one LED flashlight made by Cree and another from a cheaper manufacture. The difference is negligible.

From reading the reviews on iJDM, people say that the High works, its just not as bright. Though I think to myself, is there times where I use the high beam.... the normal low-beam to me shines are enough. Now if it was on my old car I used my High Beam quite a bit a night, but I don't find myself so much on the RDX...

Anybody might chime in other instances that I might use my high-beam?
