I have a hard time seeing as well as I should while driving at night. I usually don't drive at night unless I really have to or it's an emergency. This morning I had to go about 35 miles to a hearing test appointment at the VA Hospital. Due to known traffic conditions and the fact that it was very dark and raining, I had to leave home at 6am in order to get to the appointment on time. I had a VERY hard time seeing the road, never mind the fact the stripes and markers have not been redone in years.
I am thinking of replacing the factory headlights on both my 96 ranger and my 2014 Hyundai Sonata with LED lamps.
Are the LED headlights that much better than original equipment headlights?
I would appreciate any inputs.

 

I've got OPT7 brand led bulbs in my 05. First I would start with new housings those. I seem to recall the housings on your year fogging much worse than mine.

 

If you are using LED's in your stock reflector housing (you really shouldn't) make sure you are using the kind that mimic a halogen filament and that they are adjustable. Do not waste your money on multi-sided bulbs, they will just scatter the light where you don't want it and you'll blind oncoming traffic. I threw a set into the lights on my plow and it makes a huge difference driving at night. The downside though is that they wont melt any snow or ice build up on your housings.
