    Just wondering if there's a decedent LED headlight bulb for a non-LED headlight housing, that doesn't spray the beam like a star pattern? Link would be greatly appreciated if there is one. Alternatively, what aftermarket LED headlight assembly is preferred that would be plug and play? or is a relay necessary for any LED headlight upgrade?

    Thank you.

    Vleds for drop in bulbs. TRD Pro leds with a harness from @iHacker if you want the whole setup. I have the Morimotos but you're looking at $1300 for those.

    Drop in bulbs generally suck. Look for a “mini-projector” in your bulb size. Fits through the existing bulb hole, features a mini-projector LED lens that’s forward facing and a secondary LED chip to fill the housing reflector without scattering too much light outside of the normal lighting field.

    something like this:

    Now these are very interesting and nothing I've seen before (or remember noticing). Have you tried them?

    Ordered. Anything is better than the ones I have which pretty much send out laser beams in several directions.
