Don't laugh but does anyone have any experience with these LED bulbs from this company?

Once you click the link, click high beam, low beam. If too complicated, I will just swap the lenses from the 03 and buy the new bulbs that were recommended.

I have an 05 with piaa extreme white plus bulbs that are quite nice.
I also have an 04 with stock type bulbs and it's still decent.
The 05 is better, I assume part of it'd the light, part bulb.
Once the road is wet it sucks alot of either of the trucks output.
Anyone else use Piaas?

For me, I would rate them as
#1 PIAA
#2 Phillips Extreme Vision
#3 Silverstar Ultras-a noticeable step down.
There was not much difference between the PIAA and Phillips

I tried LED bulbs--don't. Our stock headlight housings have reflectors. LED lights are really bright but unfortunately they produce a tremendous amount of glare and blind other drivers. I could see less with the LED's because their beam pattern is all over the place despite some manufacturers' claims. 3 day trial and they were gone.There is a thread where we discussed this one time. The consensus was that they were technically illegal.
Thanks again everyone!!!

I appreciate all the options except for the peanut butter one. My neighbor saw me smearing peanut butter on my lenses. I know he thought I was a nutjob before but I think I have just confirmed it. I am popular with the neighborhood dogs though.
I am going to pull the lenses out of the 03 and switch them over and buy new bulbs. I don't want to modify anything. I am looking for plug-n-play. Any tips for the brightest bulbs that are reasonably priced?

LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
You may notice on the package of the silver stars they say they are the BRIGHTEST down road. For some reason, I feel I must tell you : THIS IS an advertising gimmick. Further reading on the package will disclose that this is the BRIGHTEST bulb that Silvania makes. I am embarrassed & ashamed that any Co. would actually stoop to such levels just to sell a product, BUT, what you gonna do

If your driving situation allows for it (lots of rural roads) I believe the Bright Box would remedy that issue...Easy to test

This is a big part of it. My bulbs are original. I've had several long trips recently and just realized how bad my lights were. You heard the story about how to boil a frog. You don't throw him into hot water, you put him in a pot of cold water and turn the flame on. Well, that was my headlights. I didn't see how bad they were getting until I was already there.
