I see on facebook that there are companies advertising all kinds of crazy bright LED headlight Bulbs. I DO already have the factory LED's, but they just aren't super impressive to me now that its getting dark earlier and I drive almost all backroads. I'm wondering if any of you have ever tried any of these "brighter Led's"? I understand some LED bulbs are brighter than others and such, but I'm throwing this out there for discussion before I consider trying a set of these bulbs. Anything to consider as problems? The factory LED's make me feel like they are safe for around 50mph on the backroads. Anything faster than that and I feel like I am severely overdriving these lights especially with all the deer we have here.

Any input?

The hi beams are a joke. I leave them on.
I deleted all that auto hi beam garbage that turned the hi beams off every time I came up to a reflective road sign. Another horrible electronic system.

If deer are a concern and you are on backroads, you might want consider a light bar with some LEDs and a good toggle switch :)

I have a 30" curved Rough Country light bar waiting in my garage for me to get installed. I'm waiting for work to slow down, so I can rip the front bumper off!

I know I'll have to dim the light bar in traffic, so I thought if it was as easy as swapping bulbs, that would be a pretty simple upgrade.
