First off, welcome!

Second, check out this sticky regarding bulb types for your truck, so you know what to look for:

Usually VLEDs is to go-to for leds, though they can get pricey. I will say from experience, don't use eBay for anything other than 194 leds. The larger ones have horrible quality control and they end up costing you more money in the long run.

Another good site is superbrightleds.com

what chris said, I have gotten them from vled which are super high quality with a price to match, and then I have gotten them from superbrightleds, and have no complaints from them as well

ha lol



here is a current discussion on this point....http://customgm.com/exterior/8453-led-head-light-bulbs-any-info-details-them.html

Basically what that thread says is this:

Leds in halogen housings are a no no. They have the color but output is horrible.

Best bet for an upgrade is run some Phillips bulbs.

here in houston i can get the top and fog HID 6000k for 115 or 175 installed...seems i will go that route as it will last longer IMO..

bored at work so ive been researching all day

Don't do hid's unless you are doing a retrofit.
