About a year ago I determined that due to aging equipment (my eyes mostly) the standard halogen bulbs did not provide an acceptable level of visibility, especially in the rain. I also determined that the LED technology had progressed to a point in in the last few years that might make LED headlight bulb replacements practical.

I started out with a low cost set from Amazon:

I found the night time visibility WORSE than standard H7s. So I ordered these:

Visibility was a bit better but with a few days one started flickering and eventually failed altogether. So I ordered these:

Huge difference! Probably too bright. I adjusted the direction down considerably to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Much more nighttime and rain visibility.
