I put led bulbs in the Bronco lights and they are working great. I do a lot of night driving so I have to have good lights. When I drove
this rig home, I could hardly see unless I was on high beam and now I fined high beam isn't much better.
Not clear on what you are saying here. You put LEDs in the Bronco buckets and they are working great? So why is the high beam not much better if they are working great? How are the headlight lenses?

I'm not trying to be a jerk.

New Bronco lenses were put in before I got the coach I didn't change the high beam only lights. I went with 4M LED bulbs. A few years ago my son noticed the truckers with LED lights weren't putting on their high beams and now I no why. I need great lights as I drive on a very winding dark road to get to Whistler. I think I read somewhere that the Led bulbs don't improve the high beams much so
I didn't buy them for the high beam only.

So I finally fired up one of the new LED projector lamps I purchased Black Friday. The first photos were taken 20 feet ahead of the light. There is almost perfect light beam control. The Led only operates at one setting and a curtain drops down to cut off all the light above the beam in low beam. Hi beam is produced by fully uncovering the Led. Second pictures were taken 210 feet down my drive way. On low beam walking back to the led I could see the light but could easily walk without having direct light in my eyes. With the Hi beam there was NO possible way to look and walk. Had to shade my eyes. Can't wait to install.

This is a direct replacement ?

This is a projector Led2 assembly installed into a modified aftermarket 1991 Ford headlight assembly.  No fiberglass or paint work required,  but these hi performance led2s are about $350 and the cost of new light assemblies. So their not a $38 dollar led bulb upgrade. The $38 dollar upgrade will be brighter than your stock bulbs but will be unfocused, blinding to oncoming traffic and will never compare in regards to focus or meet DOT requirments.

Ok.. but do they directly fit our GV? Is the 350 for the pair?
Are they glass?
Even if each, that is far less than any other altertive

Link is now added. Severe operator error on my end. There are 2 parts to headlight mod. Yes its Sob. The idea and method can be used on any unit.  I for one do not have money for "extreme". So I am always looking for information. This author is really doing quality work.  If your thinking about solar. Look at his panel install. About 7 videos.

Sorry to bend this thread

Yet another option I found

I like the LED projector option and updated appearance with DRL's, but not sure I'm tactile enough any longer to attend to all the fiddly bits and am 100% certain that any aftermarket buckets made in China are overpriced junk and not worth the wasted effort.  This is the kit I'm ordering as soon as I finish my tax return.

Amazon.com: JW SPEAKER 0554461 12-24V DOT/ECE LED RHT High & Low Beam Heated...

Headlights look real good $277 x2 =544 will have to look up the actual performance numbers and patterns
Headlight bucket conversion $386 plus shipping? So at that point your at $940 minimum. If the lights work and don't blind oncoming traffic on low beams that's sounds like a home run. Bonus they are heated for severe winter use. LEDs don't run hot enough to clear ice. Function over Form. I like it.

Scott, they're the ones.  Thanks for all your ingenuity and efforts in the projector mods....didn't intend to steal your thunder. 

I did put JWSpeaker 7" rounds on my jeep...they are simply the best out there and worth every penny IMO...plus made in 'merica.

haha no thunder to be had. I am looking forward to comparing them in person. Again function over form.
The older I get the better everything else has to work for me. I agree 100% on the plastic lens. But I am committed to the Projectors since I own them.
