    Yup... The LEDs are brighter. But the differentiator for me was the fact that the LEDs don't get warm enough to melt off any wintry mix. (Or so I have read).

    Remembered to watch since truggin quoted you.

    A couple things, first is that those are halogen bowls so you’re comparing apples to oranges since you have projectors. I *think* that LEDs are shorter and more similar to halogen bulbs size to better take advantage of the optics in the halogen headlight.

    The other is that you can see WAYYYY more glare coming from the LED bulb. They’re both throwing light all over the place but the led appears worse.

    IMO it’s not a good representation at all of how they’ll perform in your headlights.

    No floor jack, but I have a pair of smallish jack stands.

    Edit: Yes I'm around on Friday.

    I likely have any hand tool you may need. However, the organization of said tools is a work in progress... But they are in the garage.

    Lovers quarrel.

    I’ll have to read more into this... can anyone else shed more light on it?

    I had LED headlights on my JK in Colorado and never had an issue.

    That makes sense. There is another video I just happen to click on that was actually a 3rd gen Tacoma that did a comparison. You could tell the HID was a little brighter, but the LED was a cleaner cutoff line.
