Can I use LED bulbs in my OEM headlight cases? Not having any luck as the light pattern is garbage!

Replaced halogen with LED and light throw is garbage... can I use OEM housing or need one for LED?

They don't make aftermarket housings that you can put leds in. You can either purchase an LED headlight assembly which is a sealed unit such as OEM leds that you see on a TRD Pro or the more expensive Morimito XB's like I have. You can put an LED bulb in your halogen housings, but it has to be a good quality bulbs such as Vleds that has done testing with them in the halogen reflectors. The Vled Micros will be one of the best options for that route but your best bang for the buck will be the OEM leds and the harness from @iHacker and you will be around the $750 mark.

 

Thanks so much! Don't mind the price tag but hate that retailers assure plug and play with their items, which are being returned.

Thanks for your input, I'm pretty certain you are spot on!

 

Manufacturers are just after sales. When they state PnP they are just referring to the fit and not performance. I wish people would quit putting LEDs in halogen housings.
