LED low beam conversion?
Has anyone done an LED low beam conversion? I want my low beams to match the highs and fogs, and frankly, im tired of the HID heat yellowing the inside of my lenses. Curious what an LED conversion would entail.

Truthfully, HID housings don't easily accept LED bulbs. Halogen reflectors yes, but not HID projectors. If your goal is to match other LED bulbs, I highly recommend you putting Osram CBIs. They are 6,000K bulbs and match LEDs very well. Moreover, they're known to light up the road further than the OEM Philips or Osram 4,300K, last a long time and be well made.

In my experience LEDs generally don't work well in reflector housings (bad beam pattern) better in a projector. BUT, for whatever reason LEDs tend to be more dim in a projector which means you need a very bright LED. Only way I figured out what works in my cars is buy several LED kits, not ideal I wasted money.....
