My son's 2020 needed new headlight bulbs, and replacing them was not fun - as I knew it wouldn't be. After all these years, you'd think the manufacturers would have developed a sensible way to replace these bulbs. In the first place, you cannot see them without a mirror - which you would hold with your third hand. Feeling around to find what to grip and move is enough of a challenge, but then you have to put all those parts back - without seeing them.

The bulb fits in only one way, and even after you get it positioned correctly, it can be knocked out of position by a butterfly fluttering nearby. If you can get it to remain in position for a few seconds, you then have to snap that ridiculous wire frame (the birdcage) into place. I finally got that done, and the next step was putting the large rubber boot over the whole thing. Just because it was a perfect fit before I removed it, that didn't mean it would go right back on. Give it a thorough cleaning and apply some kind of lube to it. The final step was snapping the plug onto the bulb. Not being able to see the prongs on the bulb meant more guesswork, but I finally got it done - and the light worked. My hands were pretty well beaten up by all the sharp edges, though.

And now - on to replacing the other bulb! 😲

 

But surely having done one bulb you're an expert now! That second bulb should be a breeze.

 

Changing and upgrading my headlight bulbs to LED was super easy.

Yeah it does take a bit to lock in the bulbs with the locking tab. I changed both bulbs in about 15 minutes.

Best upgrade from the stock Halogen bulbs to LED.

LED's are alot brighter and use less power than the Halogen bulbs. Longevity of the LED's should be the same as the Halogen bulbs.

I even upgraded my driving lights to LED's.

 

LEDs should last much longer.

 

No breezes here. Knowing and doing are two different things.

 

I put LEDs in all the interior sockets - much brighter and whiter. From what I've seen LED headlights involve more steps to install, they're more expensive, and they blind oncoming drivers. My old-fashioned bulbs light up the road just fine. They're not as bright and white as LEDs, but that doesn't matter. I can see where I'm going.

I started using those tinted yellow night-driving glasses, and they make driving at night more comfortable. An eye doctor on YouTube complained about LED headlights. I wonder if they had to be approved by state governments. When cars began using four headlights, states had to scramble to make them legal.

 

In the United States, vehicle lighting is a federal matter. It's not up to the states.

 

I thought so, but I wasn't sure, so I changed my wording to "states."

 

had the same concern about blinding cars going the other way. No such issue. My LED lights follow the same light pattern as the Halogen bulbs. The difference being the LED lights are alot brighter. Much better night visibility at my old age.
Edit

 

Just keep in mind,, its easy to spot lights that are out of spec, and if the cop wants to he can use it as a excuse to pull you over (Very regionally dependent, and randomly enforced... )
I call it the reverse get out of jail for free card.. LOL Technically the only two legal colors on the front of a car are White and Yellow,
If you go too high kelvin they turn blue,, good for a free pull over, and if they are really reaching an impound..
