Default LED headlight bulbs???

Alright guys I have led everything on my front end except the headlight bulbs themselves. And I haven't really heard any reviews on just the bulbs themselves and I'm curious. I'd like to avoid going HID since I just really like the white color the LEDs put off. If anyone knows of a good company to go through? Or if it would be a wast of money? I know I'm looking to shell out some $$$ with led or hid anyways. Any help is appreciated!

What brand did you go through? And are they pretty bright out in the sticks? Living in northwest Kansas we need good lights for sure although the light bar does help out

I've tried several and returned them all. LED bulbs in reflector housings not designed for them are all garbage. They are pretty and brighter but do not throw light down the road as well as the halogen bulb.

If you really want to put any money into your headlights, do a proper HID retrofit.

HID will produce the exact white color LED does. goes with 4300K or 5000K and they will the brightest in the color spectrum and give a pure white light, not that blue and purple crap people get that actually put out less light than halogen.

Go to theretrofitsource.com and look at the components and then go to their forum HIDplanet.com. You'll learn a lot about good light output.

I just upgraded my headlights to Xtralights LED kit with Philips LED and they work awesome.

Default LED headlight bulbs???

Ok, I finally got them installed. Pretty easy to do, easy for a 2015 that is since you have to install bulbs from underneath through the fenders. They're pretty bright too, although I haven't seen them at night yet. I'll get some night shots tonight.

That last pic is LEDs on the right, factory on the left. I already had LED bulbs in my fogs.
