LED Upgrade Tips
Reflector vs Projector Housings
Projector housings work great with LEDs. Reflector housings need quality LED bulbs with proper chip placement to avoid dangerous glare.
Quality Matters
- Proper chip placement — matches halogen filament position
- Active cooling — fan or heatsink prevents failure
- Canbus compatibility — prevents dashboard warnings
Other Lighting Upgrades
- LED Fog Lights: $50–$150 installed — amber LEDs cut through Spokane fog
- Interior LEDs: $30–$80 for complete kit
- Off-Road Light Bars: $200–$1,000+ installed
Washington State Laws
Headlights must be white or amber. No specific lumen limit but must not produce excessive glare. We aim every headlight we install.
