Search LED headlights as there are numerous threads out there. If you have any questions PM me, I love them. Got mine last year & wish I had them on my last couple cross country trips.

Yup. HD LED about 5+ bills, Trucklite LED $199.00 at Eastern Performance.
They say the HD is a little better concentrated beam, while Trucklite fills the sides a little better.
Price was a clincher.

IMHO, the Truck Lite also provides better daytime visibility to the oncoming cars.

I would love to compare my 5k HID headlight to the HD or TL7 LED light, Just to see the light output diff. My HID was only 59.00.

Me too. I thought about going that route but from all that I have read the HID's affected the other drivers on the road more than the LED's. I don't know how accurate or how true this statement is, but I was tired of switching out bulbs to try to match the color of my CD turn signal LED's. If I gave the HID's a try, I would have tried them all before ending with the LED.
I do know the HID's are really bright also.
