LED LOW BEAM UPGRADES

Can I replace the original halogen bulbs on a 2020 with LED bulbs such as these? They say these are P&P but are they really safe and OK to use?

You can, but you're probably not going to be excited with the light output. This topic has been covered to death on here with lotsssss of documentation.

Agreed...just get some h9s (way better than the h11) and modify to fit. If not, then change the whole light housing to LED.

 

What mods are needed to change from H11 to H9?

 

They have a locating pin in the plug, it stops the bulb from plugging into the wiring harness, you snip off the pin inside the h9 bulb.

 

Got it. Thanks

 

Best option for LED is the OEM LED headlight assemblies, but they're not cheap. I've never had a good experience with PnP headlights in halogen housings. If it's not glare, it's poor beam output.

 

If truly upgraded lighting was as simple as slapping in an LED "bulb," don't you think the automotive manufacturers would have done it a long time ago? After all, their customers are clamoring for LED headlights. They haven't for one very good reason; it's not an upgrade in performance. Instead, they go to great lengths (and expense) to redesign the entire headlight housing around an LED light source.
