LED headlights on a 2017

There has to be a specific reason to make the traffic stop in order to find out that they aren't DOT though. Usually its a light that is poorly aimed due to the fact that it doesn't correctly fill out the beam pattern. A light that is aimed high or has a glaring bright spot is usually sufficient reason to make a traffic stop.

In my case, these LED modules perfectly imitate the halogen beam and fill out the reflector correctly. As a result the light was the appropriate beam and I was able to adjust it LOWER than the halogen bulb and still get better visibility. Without giving someone a legal reason to pull me over, they would never know that the bulb isn't DOT.

The OSRAM Night Breakers are a decent option. Probably not as bright as LED or HID but a big improvement over stock for a direct replacement.

I have the projector lights. I have 2 separate bulbs. One each for high and low beam. Will I need to buy two kits or just one kit? I tried doing LED and there is no room behind the dust cover.

I just did the projectors, left the high beam stock. I don't think there is a kit to do both. My high beams work great as is.

In my 2014, I have the projector headlights. I have installed Diode Dynamic's HIDs in both high and low beams. The improvement is drastic. The high beams light up the darkest country roads.

The reason I didn't do the high beams is that HID's do not like to be cycled. Notice they take a while to warm up to full strength? If you flash or have to frequently turn them off for traffic.....not good for the components.

When I need to flash, I get over zealous and use one of my light bars, usually the 20 inch Rigid in my bumper. I use the high beams mostly on open roadways, and they work great for me. In retrospect, I should have waited for LEDs, they've come a long way. I have found, in my truck I am high enough, that the idiots with mis aligned lights or high beams don't really bother me. When in my old Passat TDI, however, it is a problem.
