What's this?

Upgrading the projector headlights to LEDs

One thing I didn't like about the first gen Chevy Volt was the projector halogen headlights. Yellow and relatively weak, focused on small spots. It was obviously a compromise in design because the car had LED daytime running lights.

Now they make drop in LEDs with focal length adjustment. Much whiter light, more lumens, greater range AND the glare will not blind oncoming traffic in the OEM projector housing.

Be weary of aftermarket LED's. Generally the quality is definitly sub-par. ** -- vt_mughal 03/13/2018 1:13PM

...and the glare is horrible for oncoming drivers. ** -- EDGEMAN 03/13/2018 1:16PM

What I love these days is the vehicles that have really really bright -- fordham 03/13/2018 2:14PM

Definitely if you put them in a parabolic reflector -- typed by ben 03/13/2018 2:14PM

Yup. I hate those people. ** -- MEHOKIE 03/13/2018 3:12PM

Too many young kids just stuck those in their OEM headlight buckets. -- EDGEMAN 03/13/2018 2:20PM

Truly awful ** -- typed by ben 03/13/2018 2:47PM
