Replace halogen with LED?
I didn't want to spend 1700.00 on factory led's so I went down the rabbit hole of aftermarket led's. This vendor appears to have a good reputation and allegedly the led's are engineered to orient the light beam correctly instead of just throwing light everywhere.

Headlights only
I went with Auxito... I did an entire vehicle kit and cannot recommend it or the company as I had to customize their bulb bases and order different reverse bulbs from Alla Lighting. I loathe giving Auxito any more business...
The LED headlight bulbs are a brighter, whiter version of the stock ones. The beam pattern is good right out of the box. I didn't need to adjust or re-aim. No objections from oncoming vehicles either. If I had it to do over again, I would go with Alla Lighting or F150LED$$$. All of F150's stuff is supposed to be Cree chips and they have an excellent reputation.

Blinding other drivers is not cool. In some states, its not legal or would not pass a state safety inspection.

Google DDM Tuning, their reputation is not great. Other forums have had issues with them in the past.
I went with Headlight Revolution's LED V4 kit and am happy. Apparently, I throw light all over the place... but I don't get flashed by other drivers and I pass inspection every year.
