Performance-wise, the LED retrofit headlight bulbs are all over the place.
Some are surprisingly good, and some are utter ****.
Me and quite a few other 2nd-generation Frontier owners have had excellent luck with the Katana 9007 LED bulbs.
Their LED emitters closely mimic the shape and position of the filaments in the incandescent bulb they replace, which makes a HUGE difference in avoiding a beam pattern that sprays light everywhere.
The earlier version that is equipped with a cooling fan works better than the more recent fanless version. (Most fanless designs reduce the LED brightness after a few minutes of operation, in order to avoid burning them up).
Mine have seen operation almost every night over the past 2 years, with one failure.
MUCH brighter than the original incandescents (without blinding oncoming drivers), and well worth the 55 bucks, IMO.
