Default Driver friendly LED bulbs

Does anyone know of an LED driving bulb that’s not obnoxious to oncoming traffic? I’ve seen a couple at night on other STX’s. Thanks!

I like these bulbs. I’ve run them on three different cars now and have them in my foglights paired with morimoto xb housings. The key is you can clock the bulb to achieve the best light pattern. Also the light source is small, which gives you the best chance for a factory light pattern. The best, imho, are those morimoto xb housings. The light pattern is perfect.... they just cost a fortune

there’s literally thousands of threads on this.

you’ll get recommendations for cheap amazon bulbs.

youll get recommendations for LED assembly replacements

youll get recommendations for quality LED bulbs that are said to be designed to go into halogen housings

The proper thing to do is to buy the housing. Second best is to buy quality LED bulbs that have a really good cut off (like diode dynamic SL1) and adjust them properly.

I installed super nova v.4 from headlight revolution good brightness. You just have to make sure you have the chips on the bulbs facing the 3 and 9 position. I had to aim my down a little bit but haven't got flashed at all by other drivers

Have a look around. I have these and have been satisfied https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NQ9VLWD/

However, especially with 6k color temp low beams, I think some amber fog lights are really the way to go
