What type of headlight bulbs are good?
Tired of my nice tint, low-effect on road, blinds other people cheap LED lights.
I want something that will actually help. I have to turn on my 22" light bar to actually see the road in the rain and I need to do something about it.
I honestly think stock halogen with a better tint (4500-5500k) would be an upgrade
same for the factory fog lights - good tint (5000k ish) but don't help compared to the stock bulbs which I may consider putting back in.

A couple of us, including OldBlue, are using these...

So far, no one has flashed me and they definitely are brighter and make it easier to see. At only $14.00, I figured I'd try them and if I did get flashed, I'd just go with Sylvania SilverStars.

Not all LED's are manufactured the same. I know of at least 3 different types of LED 'bulbs'.
Each with their own light characteristics and patterns.
The round ones like in your picture being the weakest.
My Lasfit LED's (blade style) have 6 LED;s per side and there made to be installed in a specific orientation.
I'll try to get a wall shot this evening.
I will not go back to halogen.

I bought these a few months ago, nobody has flashed me, the light pattern is nice and crisp, a hood white light

Not a bad price either.

Here's my lights
Headlights
Fog Lights
Both
Lights are 5700k and 1800lm
Only time I was flashed was with a load of cement bags in the rear.
Both headlights and fog lights are less than 2 months old.
