    Does anyone recommend a good LED bulb replacement for the ugly factory yellow ones? If so where did you buy them? Thanks!

    How did people manage to drive in the dark before the invention of the LED?

    The best LED bulb replacements are supposedly Morimoto 2stroke 3.0. They’re $200 for a pair and 100% underwhelming. Go with either the H9 swap or the OEM LED housings.

    They had poorly green and dark blue drop in HID kits and claimed despite what actual testing says their eyes tell them their headlights are better than anything on the road.

    I like good properly functioning LED or HID system and I liked putting white bulbs in halogen housings not that they improved visibility, and I always went back to stock halogen.

    Stock halogen never seemed that bad to me, I'm sure my eyesight was better. LED and HID does seem like an improvement though.

    I was driving a work truck the other night, I usually only work in the day. The lights on that truck are round sealed beams, it was also foggy I couldn't see much of anything.
