I’ve cleaned the lenses & replaced the bulbs, but they just don’t seem as bright as they should be. Would you/did you swap bulbs for LED? Just looking for suggestions here. LED suppliers seem to not carry things in spec for my pickup & I really don’t want to get something that lights up everything for me but blinds oncoming drivers for a half mile or so.

Incandescent halogen and Xenon HID bulbs emit light equally in all directions (isotropic), which have a complex Fresnel lens and reflector. Also, the housing for Xenon are designed to filter out UV light. LEDs display a divergent cone, which do not colliminate well with a housing for halogen bulbs. So, if you want to take the LED route, it would be best IMHO to find specialized bulbs for OEM housings or a kit with s bulb and housing.

In addition, we need to change halogen lamps need too often. So, after using LED lights, I realized that I really liked the white daylight in all the rooms of my house. My kids and wife liked the smart light bulbs I bought at a discount. After connecting these bulbs in our house, I began studying more about them and found that I could even put them in car headlights and fog lamps. So I quickly ordered four bulbs for all my car’s headlights. I had trouble connecting because I’ve never done this with smart bulbs. But everything went smoothly, and now I can turn off my lamps or turn them on even through my phone. This reply was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by deavilkolip.
