Like many I’ve gotten spoiled my the LED’s in our cars and find the coach headlights lacking. Was thinking about a set from JW Speaker as I know they are a popular upgrade and/or the OEM choice from several manufacturers.
If I went that direction I was also pondering the ones with DRL rings, but not sure if that would look good or be a little weird?
Would love all thoughts or insight.

Brad,
HELLA makes LED replacements in 90mm.
I just replaced one of the HELLA Halogen HIGH-beams after getting nailed with a rock. I spent Less than $60 and never consdiered LED since my low-beams are HID; just the high-beams are Halogen. HID/XENONS are a poor choice cuz they take a minute to charge up to full brightness. I know newer technology would be a lot better, though...as with LEDs.
Your rig doesn't have the mini LED array like the 2020 and P50s do...and MAN OH MAN are those suckers EXPENSIVE!!! It's around $500-$700 for that array which is a single chain per side..ugh.
I don't think an HALO would look back at all on your rig. Me being a Photoshop guy, I'm always doing mockups for stuff like this. Did it with our Dutch Star to see what a light bar would look like.
I will say this, as a "food for thought". I've read where selecting too cold of a temperature can cause a lot more eye fatigue at night. Think of the reason why Apple moved to warm-tone color correction for evening viewing on our iOS and Macs.
Hope this helps.

Steve makes a good point about the Hella DLR LED array. I have one LED in that 6 LED array that is inop and although I may be able to just get one string of 6 without the power module, they are proud of them.
