Headlight upgrade question?

Brand new here. Read back on the forum a couple years about upgrading the headlight bulbs. My head is spinning a little. I have a 2017 with halogens and is there a definitive conclusion on an LED build that performs well and takes my yellow
lights to white?

Go with aftermarket assemblies from Morimoto and call it a day.

If you’re not interested in spending that kind of money, there are plenty of aftermarket LED bulbs to chose from.
Depending on where you get them and the brand, be prepared to spend $50.00 - $200.00 dollars.

In case you’re wondering on which ones are best, you’d only be opening up a can of worms by asking that question because everyone has an opinion.

In closing, I’m a firm believer in the OEM LED headlights and nothing else.

Good luck.

the ideal would be to swap for factory OEM but that’s not happening. Do you have a link to the housings you recommend?

Someday. Someday? Someday, manufacturers will come up with a standard LED headlight solution that will work in many brands & models. Oh sure. Now I am really dreaming.

No, I don’t have a link but you can go to their website or another website from a company called The Retrofit Source.com

They sell the Morimoto assemblies.
