I have a 21 xlt. Both headlights work but driving it looks like the drivers side barely works. But when you stand in front it looks just as bright and appears aligned properly?
Do I just need a new bulb or are these LEDs?

2021 XLT only came with halogens. No option to upgrade.

Change the bulb.

If I were here, you would know it !
If the 21's are like the older models and have the bulbs contained in a module-like enclosure with a wiring pigtail, just swap them out with LED bulbs..... a little mo $$, but well worth it IMHO, as they are WAY, WAY brighter & stronger than any Halogen could ever hope to be.

However, be sure to note the orientation when installing them, as they need to be inserted so that the strips are vertically aligned instead of horizontally...just adjust the rotation when inserting them to get it right...

So I just took the old one out. It was an aftermarket led. Put the brightest stock halogen in and it's even worse. Driving down the road it looks from the drivers seat as there is no light??
