LED headlight Bulbs

Anyone switch to LED headlight bulbs. I see vendors selling plug n' play kits.

I love it more, stuff to blind the person going the other way.
Unless the focal point is the same as OEM and the lumens are in a respectable range.
Or your driving back roads.
But then who cares.

Well good for you.
Make it a sticky about how you re-aim the focal points after installing these "great" bulbs.
Are peoples light cone in their eyes that bad ?

You can easily adjust the lights , it’s in the owner’s manual.

Blue I don't need to adjust mine, as the bulbs are OEM.
People who install these super white things should read the manual.

I didn’t direct that at you, CatMan. It is intended for future readers to see.
I got that your headlights are OEM , this thread is about LED lights, they must be better, many new cars and trucks come with them now, and many want to retrofit them to their HHR’s .
Do you have anything constructive to add to this thread?

I went to LED's in our 2017 SUV, liked them so much I ordered a second set for our other vehicle.
Gotta love them - and I want to put LEDs in the motorcycle before riding season starts.
