Crummy headlights - Can't see, need upgrade
My old 2007 GMC has never had the best headlights. Driving from Lethbridge to Calgary last night I was really cussing them. Old original factory headlights and I cannot see worth a darn. They are...

After much research and finally a consultation with a well known industry expert on automotive lighting, it has been determined that there does not exist a quality, properly engineered and designed LED upgrade kit for my truck. They are all Chinese junk. They may look pretty, but it stops there.
My goal is safe, effective lighting so I can see the road ahead, properly designed and built that will not throw glare in the air and blind oncoming drivers.
The best option for me is to replace the entire housings with new, OEM GM Denali headlights. They are far superior than the stock lighting that came with my truck. And they are a bolt in swap, no mods needed.
In addition to that, there is a bulb upgrade that has the same wattage and power draw as my stock bulbs, but it throws more lumens of light. The internal bulb design is identical, making it compatible with the OEM Denali housings design. A slight bulb mounting mod is needed. Combine that with the superior housing design, and I have the best upgrade available.
I have ordered the bulbs, and I'm shopping around for the best price on OEM, genuine GM Denali headlight housing assemblies. They are a lot more money in Canada... usual thing.
I appreciate all the input everyone here offered. Thanks.
