Go LED and install yourself? Seems like a ton of $ and effort you spend in headlights....

So I went ahead and did this.  Decided on the Cyclops LEDs because
- they're 4000 lumens each
- even though they were technically designed for motorcycles they are H11 and completely plug and play
- supposedly these don't have any issues operating as DRLs too (remains to be seen)
- these are considered a "premium" LED bulb but the pair still came in under $120

I liked this option after a bunch of research because they are well engineered and everything fits within the dust caps.  If it didn't work out I was just going to put some Silverstar halogens in and deal with the suck output.  I test fitted one of them on the "easy" driver's side during lunch:



Needs to be adjusted obviously but it's plenty bright and fired right up with no issues / no flicker.  The hot spot seems to be even bigger than the HIDs, we will see how the throw is when I get a chance to try them at night.

It's supposed to be warmer tomorrow so I may try to get both sides installed after work.  It will be a pain to pull out the ballast and wiring on the passenger side due to the truck's design, so if I can't easily reach it all I'll probably just leave it all back there after it's unplugged.
