So what headlights would you suggest? A HID retro fit? Im not sending my headlights away to someone and I haven't had great results with hid's in the past- bulbs have burnt out or ballasts burned within a year in 3 out of 5 sets. I couldn't see anything when it was raining out. This was a very affordable, quick and easy fix to the problem.

Why don't you buy a set of @Raptor Retrofits and then sell yours once your set is built and installed..

I've had HID's in my 05 f250 head lights and fog lights, and have ran 3 sets through my 12 f150 Eco boost. Also have them in my 06 r1 and in my 08 busa.

I haven't been able to go for a night drive to test these LEDs yet but from what I saw they look pretty good. I was unaware of possible safety issues for incoming traffic.

My apologies if we are a little rough on you. There was an issue not too long ago with a member / troll. And well... You fit the timeline of his demise and reincarnation.
Your halogen house was made for an halogen bulb. HID housings are made for HID bulbs. LED housings are made for LED bulbs. And so on.
So yes, using a LED bulb may/ will be dangerous to on coming traffic because it doesn't have the correct cut off line.
Look at the picture that Raptor Retrofit just posted. See how the line is clearly visible and straight?
Doesn't look like yours is.

I just ran out and looked at my headlights on low from about 30' away and they are ridiculous.

I was unaware of the specifics for headlights- thank you for spelling it out for me. This forum is hard for me to use, I always have to access it from my phone and it will not load a lot of times.

I'm sure I can figure out a fix for where the cut off should be. I am innovative when needed to be
