50% of my driving is at night. My experience with LED headlight bulbs put into my existing reflector housings designed for halogen bulbs was not a positive one. I found that at first i was immediately impressed by the brightness of the light, like WOW look how bright those puppies are on my garage door. But then once out on the highway i was unimpressed. The area around the front of my truck was exceptionally bright but they did not project light very far, and high beam seemed to not do a whole lot, maybe a bit brighter but still no actual projection of light down road. I attributed this to the way the stock reflector housings were designed and not so much the fault of the good quality LED lights i bought. I switched out for sylvania silverstar ultra halogens and although first 30feet in front of truck are not as bright as the LEDs i can see much further down road. I think if your driving is slower speed or city type driving maybe go with LED. If highway, go for good quality halogens unless your vehicle was designed to use LED from factory.
Side note, HID lighting is amazing, our Audi Q5 has them and best headlights of any vehicle i have driven.
