With my '18 XL RCSB I am going to be purchasing black housing headlights soon. But, reading all of the different things on headlights, bulbs, led, vs halogen vs hid, how to install, etc.. is borderline migraine worthy
My goals are rather simple:
1. Black headlight housing
2. Better headlight output than the current halogen bulbs that come stock with XL models
3. Halogen is fine as long as the light output is better.
Can I even do LED without some magic done?
As for the install - I will need to pay a competent shop to do. it, as I will, undoubtedly, mess up something along the way -- got to know ones limitations, I suppose. I tend to stay away from wiring/electrical.
There is some great info on here about led bulbs in a projector type setup, but how to I fix the halogen/led conversion (I do have FORScan that I used on tire size ok).
I really like the looks of these, they look to be projector which is also fine. are the bulbs they come with fine? Or is LED a must .. or is just a better (is there one) long lasting halogen bulb possible?

These housings come with halogens already installed in them. Upgrading to LED is as easy as removing the old bulbs and installing new ones. As for HID, I have never used them, but will require extra wiring. The headlight housings are not that hard to install if you watch a video or follow the write up. You will have to remove the grill to do the install, which is not that hard, it just takes some time.

Guys I finished my install and took some pics along the way and did this write up to help anyone with the disassembly of the front end and tackling the project. Hope this helps someone out, and I love these new lights!
