Yep. Nothing beats a proper HID retrofit.Bookworm wrote: ↑Sat Feb 23, 2019 11:43 pm LED headlights aren't ready for prime time. If you want to use them, fine, but be warned about 2 things.
1) they're sealed off, so the heat is enormous, which will cause the LED's to fail far faster than any other kind of bulb.
2) you're going to blind everyone in oncoming traffic, because people are NUTS in the levels they drive those things.

That's all it is - advice from someone that's had to deal with too many LEDs, as well as stare into too many headlights put in by people that don't give a CARP about oncoming drivers.doubl3d wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 4:52 amaw but LED headlights is really easy to Install.

Marginally? There is literally a night and day difference between a proper retrofit, simply throwing in LED bulbs, and the halogen bulbs.
