Boon & Nightmare of Converting Headlights to LED

[JGDallas]

Just swapped the stupid halogens for LED bulbs. The brightness is awesome, and the beam pattern is extremely even. This is the boon.
The nightmare is getting your hand into the "bulb well". Gosh...... better have tiny hands to be able to stick it in to swap the bulbs. 24 hours later, my thumb is still numb from getting squeezed and rubbed.

So you just switched the bulbs without using a led light bucket?

Thanks to those dazzling “blue” LED headlights, I no longer drive at night unless absolutely necessary.

Yes .... but that's because I don't know any better. What should I have rather done?

I hear you! Yes, I made sure (1) got the bulb that has a proper beam pattern, and (2) adjusted light pattern to focus downward on the road, and had my son observe the beam from 100, 200 and probably 250 yards to make sure nothing was on his face.

Need to get the correct light bucket for the type of bulb. They are 2 different patterns of light and you'll probably be blinding people.
