    Halogen bulbs for halogen housings. No need to blind every other driver on the road
    This isn't about a rice HID conversion in a fart can civic. These LED substitutes are supposed to be about the same light pattern, but a bulb that will never burn out and cast a brighter white light (again - not "super coor brue").
    The car they are going in eviscerates halogen bulbs, particularly the fancier ones like Silverstar Ultra or PIAA and they are a pain in the urethra to change.

    i have put amazon LED replacements in every vehicle i have had for the past several years and it give sme much more visibility and i have not once been flashed for "blinding people"

    The brand i typically buy is LED Eagle, there's a local guy that does warranty for them too so it's an easy fix if you get a dud.

    It's not the size that matters, it's the taste it leaves in your mouth.

    My recent bump is a specific H1 bulb issue. I'm not doing this. Check this silly video out of what a massive PitA this is:


    Nothing says "fits OEM" like scissors and duct tape! LoL.
    The LED ones are just too big.

    Few things I think that need to be noted for these F150 headlights...

    1) if you're getting LED bulbs to replace factory ones I recommend finding a place that also sells a bigger dust cap to cover the bulb otherwise you'll get moisture in the headlight and fogging. I believe F150Leds.com may sell that.

    2)Stay away from most aftermarket headlights brands. Especially Anzo like mentioned in here... Anzo products are garbage and mass produced and have serious fogging and cloudy issues after some heat. If you're willing to drop the dough, a set of morimotos are the way to go in regards to aftermarket.

    3) and best option IMO.... Get a set of factory LED headlights off somebody, and order a plug and play harness from boostedgreygoosedesigns. He has a website and a fairly affordable, and incredibly well done harness that allows for quick plug and play for halogen to LED. Same for tail lights if you want to spruce up your look to OEM LED tails with a harness.

    Replaced the low beam bulbs in my 08 tahoe:

    I forgot to get road pictures of the stock lights but we all know how good those stock lights would be.

    Got the led's from "cold rock accessories". These are the 20k lumens option and also have a "bambi" feature where the low beams stay on if you put your high beams on. I might get a set of high beams and fogs too, then it would almost be like daytime driving.

    The guy is based out of Camrose, great service and quick turn around times. Very happy with the upgrade.

    I used these guys for my 4Runner headlight replacement from halogen to LS460 and upgraded waterproofed Denso ballasts. Andrew did very high-quality work all around.

    https://lightwerkz.net/ did the actual retrofitting of the bi-xenon low/high beam modification into brand-new 4R Trail headlights, again great work by Caesar.

    Then I had the retrofitted headlight assembly sent to me and I swapped out the stock headlight assembly.

    Was quite expensive at the end of the day but so happy I did it.

    Think it depends on the car. In my dad's car I was able to get the bulb in, the controller that hung off the bulb, and everything, right behind the factory dust cover. From the outside you would never know if anything changed. There was so much room behind the light, could fit a small child in there
