    First, welcome to TW.

    Second, if you utilize the Search function, you'll (quickly) find that replacing halogen bulbs with drop in LED's is: 1) Not popular at all here due to increased glare for oncoming drivers, 2) Not scientifically better performing - no matter what the Chinese marketing folks say, and 3) Generally a downgrade in real performance.

    If you do a little searching and surfing around here, you'll find plenty of helpful threads on what works better in each application. For instance:

    There are some good lighting options. Some are LED, some are other arrangements.

    If you'd update your profile with your vehicle info folks could give some suggestions, as options change a bit based on the year model you are working with.
