LED Headlights??

I want to upgrade my stock lights to LEDs for the time being until I get my retrofits done. Whats the best option right now for a quick LED swap from the stock lights to LEDs?

I've see a bunch of things out there for 9006 LEDs on Ebay / Amazon, but some reviews are good, others are bad. What are you running and where can I get them?
 


To go against the grain of all the purists, I'ld just run some 9006 HIDs(for 04+ or whatever your car takes) with your new ballasts until you get them done.
If your spending, hid bulbs are cheap.
 


I'm running LED 9006 and rather like them over halogen as they give off a much nicer white color then the awful yellow that halogen are. My only gripe is the output is terrible compared to halogen for some reason. Now I am wondering if I were to remove the 'diffuser' thing in front of the bulb that is blocking the light if that will help things because the LED have a mini projector in them that is being blocked by this 'diffuser' inside the headlight assembly.

Sure.
and as long as you go thru the process of baking, opening and sealing the headlights......put some projectors in.

LEDs create a brighter, more pure light with much, much less depth. up close they light everything up, but anywhere farther out on the beam pattern the light dissipates super fast.

that's why there aren't many good options for LED headlights unless you spend an absolute fortune on setting them up properly.
