Default Halogen to LED help

From down in south Louisiana, due to numerous threads and much confusion I come in need of advice.

I have a 2017 Lariat 501A with the poor halogen headlights. Looking for advice on moving to a LED light.

Note, I am not a technician and do not plan to take my truck apart, therefore I plan to bring it to a shop based on feedback from the forum experts.

Added note. The local shops state led bulbs, such as Oracle, are too long for the housing. This is causing techs to tape the opening to avoid moisture capture, as the boot will not fit.

This is what I did. Lows, Highs, and Fogs.

Do a search on this site for the led fog lghts thru Amazon. They are $25 and make a great improvement!

I did my change from halogen to LED a couple nights ago. I went with Opt7 from Amazon. So far I am pleased, I will at some point go to projector housings but this will keep me content for a little bit. I made sure to aim mine so they weren't blinding anyone. These photos are from right after installing before I aimed them.

both installed



Light output before aiming them properly but this at least shows the color/brightness.
