    So I looked through a lot of these threads but can’t find anything on changing headlight bulbs etc on the 2021 CM. What’s recommended as far as upgrading to LEDs etc?

    Change the housings so you don't blind people. Best advice I have.

    TRD Pro will always be the top recommendation.

    LED Bulbs is the cheapest, but many don't recommend them because or scattered light. I went this route. It was $50 vs $1000 and I haven't blinded anyone or been flashed. I made sure my bulbs had decent cutoff and were only double sided instead of 4 sided or whatever the better shapes are.

    Is there any real light output benefit to just replacing bulbs or is it just a color thing?

    Do you have a link or product number to what you used?

    I noticed more light. Not a ton, but enough to have made it worth my while. Doing the fogs helped too.

    The fogs are well worth changing bulbs in. Before I did mine I could barely tell they were on.

    Can you share a link to which bulbs you changed to for the fog lights?

    I bought them quite a while ago so I don't have the link. They are Lasfits. I got them off Amazon.
