Replacement bulb or dedicated LED fitting. A dedicated fitting houses the LED and its associated electronics β the bulb is fixed to the fitting and canβt be changed like a regular light bulb. A replacement bulb is an LED that can be retrofitted into an existing fitting to replace an incandescent, halogen or CFL.
In the meantime, i did opt for the 'low cost' LED bulb replacement. I went with the Beamtech H13 S1 Series 8000 bulbs. Read a good bit about them in the forums, and worked plug and play for me with no issues.

Increased Lifespan. Perhaps the biggest benefit of using LED headlight bulbs is their long lifespan. LEDs can last for a very long time, vastly outperforming halogen or xenon (HID) bulbs. This means you no longer have to worry about your headlights losing their brightness after a few years.

Most LED housings (like the factory ones on the JL) have projectors to cut it off from going to high. You can aim lower to minimize the problem, but you probably won't be happy with the visibility it provides you when driving in the dark.
