LED headlights are definitely a good upgrade from the stock headlights our cars have. I was wondering people's thoughts on a DIY LED headlight conversion, since a lot of the drop in H6504 LED kits from reputable brands can get really pricey. From what I've found, it looks like you could do a DIY solution for a little under $120, which seems decent. Here's what I found: H4 projector LED bulbs for $47, H4 polarity converter for $18, H6504 housings for $53. Every price listed is for the pair and not individual.
I realize that the placement of a bulb in its housing needs to be just perfect for the light to correctly reflect and not blind drivers in front of you. I assume a projector LED bulb would work around this though since it shines the light straight forward, instead of reflecting the light in the housing.
Is my thinking correct about projector bulbs? Is the H4 polarity converter sufficient? I've seen a few videos about doing the LED headlight conversion and people we wiring in relays and running a bunch of extra wires. Almost seems too easy compared to the videos I saw. Any thoughts on this DIY LED headlight conversion? Would it be worth it to pay more money for a drop in solution? I just wonder about the longevity of everything. Sometimes you get what you pay for, but I can't tell if this is one of those cases. Reviews seem to be fine for every product listed, however
