Default Replacing halogen bulbs with LED?

I have a 2021 F150 STX4x4 supercrew42 cab. I have just halogen lightbulbs and I hate it. My question is what would it look like if I got LED bulbs to swap out. Would it shine brightly like some do? Or would I need to get the entire headlight casing unit?

You can do it quickly by partly removing the covers inside your wheel well. They are fastened by some "plugs".
Twist out the halogens and replace them. About 10 minutes per side.
Very happy with these bulbs.

Can you send a picture at nighttime what they look like? Curious. And thanks I will look into these and see if they work for me!

Did this require any special adapters? Or the H1s you got just plugged right in?!?

Auxito led, this is low beam only. Not brand specific, any decent led bulbs will have this kind of light output. Just be sure to re-aim your headlights after the swap.

The bulbs your truck uses should be listed in the owners manual. I believe stock halogen bulb numbers are as follows:

Low Beam - H11
High Beam 9005
Fog Bulb - 9140
