    I’ve been searching the forums trying to sort thru all the 1st gen headlight upgrade options. Anyone out there happy with your setup and want to share?

    While this is demonstrated in a 2nd Gen, it works the same in a 1st Gen.

    That thread will pretty much contain most all the info you need. The other option would be pricey full HID retrofits. LEDs will just scatter light, cause glare and not project distance.
