What are the suggestions for the round headlights if you wanted the best LED’S Christmas is coming and Easton has been wanting to go LED for awhile. Inside the truck is all LED at this point, logical next step

Already Have the American Autowire relay‘s for the headlights and they really help.

Most modern cars have LED lights. Every modern car I have been in the lights have been superior to the old cars with incandescent lights. I don't think any manufacture makes a car with incandescent lights today.
"Despite their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and bright illumination, LED headlight bulbs can also produce harsh lighting that can dazzle other drivers and pedestrians, making them illegal and dangerous to use on the road"

No most cars are not using leds by numbers. Nobody is saying we should go back to the old incandescents... I think alot of it has to do with the color that most put in. As soon as you lower the color to where it won't glare and work in fog, snow, dust etc, leds lose lumens substantially. I farm and have used all types and seen it all firsthand. Leds are so economical that the downsides are being ignored...

Personal opinion I realize but I think leds cheapen up the look of a classic vehicle.. Can get a quality bright bulb that will work very well...

Edit. Was looking at some of the above listed retro fits for c10s and they look stock at least when they're off. I guess I didn't know there was such a thing for c10's...
