Lookin to swap out headlights/fogs/tails/reverse/plate lights all with led and hid for the headlights,

I understand the load resistor stuff to stop fast flashing, but do i need to worry about can bus error messages?

Anyone have a recommendation for quality switchback and regular led bulbs?

What about a good led headlight instead of hid?

just turn the fast flash off with IDS or FORScan. eff resistors....

LED headlights suck. horrible light pattern. and if you run HIDS, get projector retrofits-dont run them in stock housings out of respect for everyone driving towards you.

Aftermarket LED headlights suck, hands down. I love my projectors, only downfall is high-beams are pathetic.

i think so. Apollo shrouds. Low beam has an awesome cutoff on the factory adjuster. High beam lights up ditches on both side of the road and about triple the distance of the low beam.

mine are bright enough to cause an accident in the oncoming traffic at night...

I don't know, the LEDs I have right now are ridiculous bright. Low beams are nothing to write home about, but the highs are crazy bright. Light up both ditches and 100 yards in front of me in a nice white.
