I thought that I would take a minute to document my Journey to add LED headlights, and I am still not there yet!
The adapters need a 1/2” spacer to pull the lights flush with the grill.
I like the look!
But, the cut off has a step that bugs me
Next stop, swap back to stock lenses with BeamTech bulbs.
Some pictures/comparisons that I took along the way.
BeamTech installed.
BeamTech cutoff
The spread of light from the BeamTech bulbs has been bothering me, yes I know that LED in a halogen lens will not be ideal, but I think that I can make it better.
After thinking about this for a while, I decided to give something a try, I rotated one of the bulbs by 180 degrees, the results are below, taken straight after the picture above. Yes they look very different, the lighting, the angle, etc....
Note:
I will get out this weekend and see how the rotated bulb works My thinking is that the stock lenses are designed to aim, and maybe the light will be aimed differently if the hi/low are in the same position in the housing (inside/outside).
- I started out with the stock halogen lights
- First change was to add 7” Pro Comp LED projectors (pulled from my JKU beforehand it went), with Amazon adapters
- Back to stock lenses, with 8,000 lumen BeamTech bulbs

Note:
- I haven’t been flashed with either setup
- I also know that LED lenses is not optimal
