Hey guys...
Recently picked up a 2018 with the stock halogen bulbs. I had the HIDS in my old truck and cant get used to the new dim ones. Without spending $1-2k what does everyone recommend? Keep seeing these led plug and play bulbs for the low beam/high beam etc. Enlighten me lol

 

The stock halogens aren't projectors and thus aren't designed for LEDs. If you want good performance without blinding the **** out of everybody on the road, your cheapest option is an aftermarket projector like the Anzo, coupled with quality LED bulbs. Or, if you want to spend coin, convert to factory LEDs or look at the new Morimotos.

 

Our headlights (15-17 and 18) have a bulb "shield". It blocks any glare put off by led bulbs. For the people that say LED bulb drop-ins blind people, well they are not educated. I have had LED bulbs in my 2017 for exactly 1 year now and have NEVER been flashed my oncoming traffic.

Sorry, I tried it on my 16, and got flashed all the time. That lasted a weekend. There have been plenty of pictures showing the cutoff sucks.

 

 

You know, you can aim them, right?

 

Here is what my cut-off looks like down the side of a building. Once again, 1 year and zero flashes.

 

No problem with my Diode Dynamics SL1's in hi and lo beam. Correctly aimed, never been flashed.
Cheaper LEDs? No idea, but do know there is junk out there. Yes, even some projectors.

 

I have the DD SL1s, and they're way better than the stock halogens. Nobody's flashing me either. Obviously replacing the whole housing would be better, but there aren't really any aftermarket options available yet.
