LED Headlights
Want to add LED headlights; low & high beams; to my car... I drive a lot at night. Anyway, I read you need to put resistors inline to make the lights fold down property, will these work?

I went through so much headlight crap with this car. It had fixed lights (ew) when I bought it. Then I bought some factory assemblies from FB Marketplace - drove 3 hours to get a complete set for $200. Couldn't pass it up. Currently have a set of HIRs from Daniel Stern Lighting and they're the best they've been. Need to replace/free up a frozen adjuster on the passenger side though - it's way too low. Still miles better than the drop-in LEDs that were in the lights when I got them.

My LEDs I bought on Amazon are great. I can see much better at night, I do not blind oncoming drivers and I do not irritate drivers when I am behind them. I know because I had my wife drive the Corvette after the lights were installed. Coning at me the lights were not glaring or bothersome. With her following me they did not bother me. On the Corvette caravan I asked other Corvette drivers if my lights bothered them at night. They all said "NO"

I ran drop in LEDs for awhile, but ACA style headlights from Sharp Light Innovation are MUCH better. If you do a lot of night driving, it's definitely worth the investment.
