LED bulbs in.. and it's brighter but not that much.. More like an accent lighting look when projecting on the road.
TJKJ: I hear you on the retrofit. I was thinking about going round LED spots and fabricating the mounting brackets and shell incorporating the factory adjustments for the globes. I want to keep it as close to stock appearance as possibly.. Kind of my theme.
You would've been better off getting high wattage halogens than LED bulbs.. going from the stock 35w or whatever to 55w wouldn't do much at all
LEDs are only bright when they're in an LED reflector, so putting them in a halogen one makes a very short range of light without spread
I would go through the effort of installing HIDs, but that's just me
You wouldn't change ANYTHING about the housing, lenses, etc when you'd just be putting in a bulb like any other
You'll get much more light output from those than small LED pods
