If you are dead set on LED, I would imagine it would be easier to buy Halogen housings and throw in the LED's made to replace halogen into those. I'm unsure what the coding implications of that would be...
Is it really not an upgrade? All I know is when I see a Tesla on the highway it is throwing way more light next to me than my 2019 540 does even with its newer gen xenon’s. I’m open to suggestions on how to improve light output on those and the 135 xenon’s (once I get new oem ones if that’s the case). I don’t particularly crave the look of the LED or anything, I just want to see as well as possible at night.
