What about the Led . Where they plug in 1157 type and were they the expensive ones. Im interested in those , and my back driving lights are not bright enough.
ain't gonna happen, leds do not 'point' a beam in any particular direction, they are just annoying to on coming drivers.to be honest with you i just ordered the headlight adjustment tool cuz they are litterly 10 feet in front of the car, so ill have to get back to you once they are properly adjusted. but im hoping for better than stock.
Ummm...are you sure you read the four or five posts directly above yours because they specifically answer your LED question. Or did I miss something?All kinds of comments about headlight housings and designs. I am happy I read the entire thread as I never thought about the quality and design of the reflective backing inside the head light housing. It all makes sense.
Does anyone have experience or a direct comparison of stock halogen bulbs vs led conversion bulb kits? I am curious if a LED headlight would be brighter, generate less heat and maybe draw less power? My only knowledge on this is comparing household LED's to traditional incandescent bulbs.
Ideally I could swap out a bulb in my stock housing that is brighter (not blindingly bright) and draws less amperage. Is this a realistic goal or does something like this not exist?
LEDs in a halogen housing don't work.
Take a look at how the OEMs do led head and taillights. They use an array and direct projeCt. These really make a difference in light output.

LED's do not project radially unless fabricated into an array of many....Standard light bulbs project radially and LED's also project radially right?...
This link will help understand a led headlight bulb and how it is supposed to work.
I have not used this type of headlight bulb but they seem to do their homework.Search results for: 'led-bulbs sl1-led-headlight'

bright blob coming down the highway
I agree. Unfortunately, we are victims of our own wishes. In general, people want the cheapest whatever possible. Years and years of the better but more expensive stuff not selling made companies have to buy cheaper and cheaper. Quality went out of the window. Lots of us may not fit into that group but if we are honest, we all probably do on some things. Well we got what we asked for....cheap crap!It just amazes me that here in the 21st century, nobody can make a proper repro headlight
