LED headlight replacements
Has anyone had any luck with any LED replacement bulbs for the low and high headlight beams? I have used Putco bulbs before, silver lux and nitro lux, but had a difficult time with the beam focusing and rather it just spread out a lot of light which pissed off people driving towards me. Was looking to get something brighter and less yellow than factory. Any input is appreciated. Thank you

Probably better off with halogen Silverstars. Halogen housings really aren't designed for LED bulbs (or, the other way around). I have LED's in my oem halogen housings for maybe 8 months and I have had only 1 person flash me. They are bright as heck and light up a lot of the surroundings, but they didn't seem super blinding imo.
I got these for low beams, "9006/HB4 LED Headlight Bulbs Conversion Kit, SEALIGHT S1 Series Low Beam/Fog light bulb 12xCSP Chips - 6000LM 6000K Xenon White"
and these for fog lights, "SEALIGHT 9145/9140/9045/9040 LED Fog Lights Bulbs Cool Xenon White 4000 Lumen 6000K Upgrade Extremely Bright Non-polarity"
I left the high beams alone.

I have the projector style headlights on mine and the LED bulbs work great and provide a factory-like beam pattern. If you put LEDs into the reflector-style housing you get what you describe above - bright light but no focus down the road where you need it. These are what I have and have had them since February with great results.

I have a 2015 F-350 and put in Saber LED from DDM Tuning. I went with them because they are local to me in San Diego and I hate doing the trying and returning thing and wanted a local place to deal with if I had an issue.
Easy instruction and installed in less than an hour. They also offer a 2 year warranty. Great on low beam and high beam. Super bright whiter light.

How have these worked out for you? Good improvement over stock? Did they retain good beam profile? How have they held up?
