    Unless you're okay with poor high beam performance and replacing bulbs every 6-12 months I'd stay away from LED headlights.

    LED's from the factory yes, after market LED's it depends. I replaced my fogs with LED. Also replaced backup, brakes, interior and license lights with LED. Kept the headlights halogen.
