Looking for better headlight bulbs but don’t want to pay for the HID Kits

Hey guys and gals,

I would like to have some LED headlights without breaking down and getting HID kits. What do you guys use? Any cheaper alternative? Pics/price/links are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Hunter

I replaced the bulbs in my 2016 SR5 with VLEDS LED bulbs they are way better than stock bulbs, just follow the installation instructions on the clocking of the bulbs and you wont get flashed by on coming traffic.

I went with the JDM Astar 8th gen. I've been pleased. Beam pattern is nice and I like that the color temp matches my morimoto fog lights nearly perfectly.

I put hikari LEDs in my spyder headlights, love them!

 

A basic retrofit can be done for around $100-150

I've used DDM tuning products for many years without issue.

 

Pics? Night shots

 

How much are those? And where did you get them? Have a link?

 

I ask because I’d like to switch all of the lights over to LEDs. I am going to install a LED bar in the lower grill portion in the next couple weeks and would like to match everything up with LEDs

 

My vote is for the retrofit. Find someone local who does it or ship them off. Might even be able to get some online somewhere.

Just tossing HID or LED bulbs in a halogen reflector without proper setup ends up blinding everyone else and probably effects overall light output to the negative since you aren't focusing the light properly.

I see all the high school kids just tossing bulbs in locally and it's funny to see the actual light on the road, it's minimal at best.

Sorry no pictures. But I can say they are worth the price. "to me anyway" You get a 3 year warranty and customer service. I replaced the headlight bulbs, fog light bulbs and daytime running/turnsignal bulbs with the switch backs. I have no complaint's and like I said before if you clock the bulbs correctly for the head lights they are just fine good clean light with out blinding oncoming drivers.

I also upgraded the tail lights/running lights, turn signals and reverse lights. Including the high mount light and cargo lights all with VLED's.
The reason being is the light output and color are the same with all the bulbs and I dont have to try and remember or make a list of where I purchased them from If I ever have any issues.

I had DDM Hid kit for 3 yrs prior to retrofitting mine. No issues as well, and priced well.

 

I had a retrofit with components and projectors from DDM on my last truck. They performed great.

 

Left is stock 2017 headlights and right is 2018 led headlights, really a big difference in light output and look. Yes the headlights are expensive but it’s well worth it, i was going to do the spyder headlights but once I looked more into reviews and saw more and more people with the 18 headlights I changed my mind

 

I have a 2018 and I'd argue a higher end retrofit (LS430, S2000, TSX) will perform better than the 2018 stock LED
