    I updated my 2015 with LED headlights but just got them from Amazon. The low and high beams were easy to install. I'd look there first bc it should be way cheaper that way.

    The ones I bought weren't from China and have been great high and low beam LED lights that have worked reliably for three years. Good luck with your update.

    if they’re from Amazon I highly doubt they’re not made in China

    Yep

    Chinese companies are known to ship products destined for the US to a 3rd location in Asia, EU, or Latin America, do the bare minimum required by local law to "add value" like putting on some stickers, slap a new "Made in _____" label on the box and then send it to the US. I think they call it trans-shipment and why our trade deficit with China is twice what the official numbers suggest.

    Make sure LED's in a halogen housing isn't resulting in unexpected dazzling/blinding of other drivers as the beam pattern may be different.

    I would also prefer replaceable bulbs in the event of failure so as long as the above seems good, I'd prefer that.

    Find a pair of oem headlights - make sure it's the post 2022 for full led
    And buy the harness from a forum member here- puppyhunter and plug and play better lighting

    If you have halogens, the upgrade to a h9 bulb (someone will correct me) is a decent, cheap way to get additional oomph out of the halogen housing (iirc 35w to 55w output) - and definitely throws more light, with reduced life expentancy (my bulbs have died in increments of 16-18 months)
