I have a 2013 LX and the light just sucks both from the amount and the distribution. I replace the halogen bulbs every 2-3 years.
I saw there are LED bulbs to install. I found some (can't post links yet) and ebay and other sources give me many options. However, i know many of the cheap ones are not suitable and don't have good light distribution (after all, the headlight is designed for a halogen bulb with more uniform 360° light).
I know blinkers likely need the resistor, but it doesn't seem the non-blinking lights need that.
My goal is more light, and at least same light distribution, or better one. Based on how bad the OEM light is, improvement should be easily achieved.
What are good LEd bulbs that don't damage anything and have good light? i don't want to pay a lot, but want something decent.
What colors are good? I think at night higher colors are better, like 5000K or more. but is there a maximum I should select?
LED dissipate heat at the sink, is there a problem with that being hot int he engine compartment (or for the plastic of the headlight)?
If this is successful, I wouldn't mind to replace other lights if they are reasonable. but for now the headlights are my main problem.
Thanks, in advance.
