My GMC Sierra came with LEDs and they are bright as fuck. I get high beamed all the time. I have actually never used the high beams since I got the truck 100k miles ago, the lows with the LED fogs are brighter than the high beams.

Cwhite138 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) IIHS rating for the headlights the 2020 GMC 1500 is poor, glare above threshold 21% for on coming traffic. probably why every one flashes you lol Would still be much better than china bob LEDs.

jdsky Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 LED's are the only good option when your factory headlights suck ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO if its your low beam you are still a cunt running aftermarket HID. The actual best thing is a good aux lighting, where led is hard to beat on toughness and size. a good set of halogen bulbs in your factory lights for when you are driving some where other people are present some and lights in the bumper for when you are not.

jdsky Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Side by side with a brand new Poo with factory LED's both sleds light up the trail the same. So maybe Poo's factory setups are just as shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwhite138 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 are you comparing you doo lights with aftermarket leds to a Poo with factory? you don't really specify Its not about how much of the trail they will light up. its about the dude getting blinded by your low beam. As I mentioned earlier the car manufactures have just now started giving a shit glare from LEDs because it goes against their over all rating for safety. I think IIHS started rating lights in 2016 and 2021 is pretty much the first year they are seeing things starting to get better. Led headlights are new when compared to halogen that are just now really figuring out the optics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/1/2021 at 7:02 AM, jethro said: Yep, just like cars a good LED conversion requires changing the reflector as well. It's usually about $800 for cars to get it right. People should stick to halogen in housings designed for them, but... idiots abound. why spend that kind of $ when you can toss in a set of Chinese bulbs for $19 and throw light all over the place? 10 hours ago, jdsky said: Side by side with a brand new Poo with factory LED's both sleds light up the trail the same.
