LED, but good ones, not blue super-bright ones that blind everyone.

H1 projector conversion. It’s a little work to get them installed, but pretty cheap for all new lenses, and parts. At least in my ‘05 SD. They are extremely focused and bright.

I bought the Morimoto headlights for my truck, and I love them, much better than the stock lights, and DOT approved. https://www.morimotohid.com/morimoto...hts?quantity=1 I've also added a light bar, but you have to remember, the light bar is for OFF ROAD USE ONLY and is illegal for highway use.

Rough Country does -- or at least did -- offer a kit with light bar kinda integrated into the grille. Really clean.

I like light bars for my rural county roads at night, but don't use them if there are any headlights or taillights visible on the road
