Headlight LED conversion

Hi, I need some help to convert the original bulbs with LED lights. I'm looking for an easy LED kit to install. I would like to avoid electrical changes. Something plug and play.

Any suggestion?

Most of the amazon plug and play led bulbs won't work great with the factory headlight reflectors. The factory reflectors are designed for halogen bulbs that emit light in a 360 degree pattern. The amazon plug and play ones have led chips on either side of a slim metal bulb body and this emits light in only two directions which causes dead spots. Mine came un alined and created the worst beam pattern i'd ever seen so I modified the mounting so that the led chips pointed directly to the left and right. This still causes dead spots in the beam pattern but its not too bad. Imo there really isn't a simple plug and play bulb but I think the Starr HID conversion is good. Don't know too much about them but other people seem to have good results.

I, too, am interested in your conversion review. I hate the stock headlights and fog lights.

Just replaced mine (headlights and fogs)
Same issue, my LEDs for the headlights only light on one side on dim. Looking directly at them, they look good aesthetically but as far as function, I'm not too impressed with the poor pattern. If you could find one that lights evenly 360 degrees, you may be better off. I bought Silver Star Ultras (halogens) to try as they have gotten good reviews for bright color and useable light. Have not installed yet.
