Default More light!

Looking to increase the light output of my '17 Burb as I live in a rural area with few streetlights. Was thinking of these.

Anyone with a '15-up that has tried them? Good, bad, not worth the effort (right side requires removing airbox for access). Any issues with the Canbus? Thanks.

You're not going to notice much of a difference just upgrading the halogen bulb. Go HID or LED and you'll see a HUGE difference. I run HID bulbs and housings in both of my trucks. Easily 2-3 times the light output of the halogens.

Read a lot of horror stories about upgrades to HID from bad fitment to harness issues and early failures. LED conversions are expensive. I want something as plug-and-play as possible. Any recommendations?

DDM tuning sells HID kits for $35. Have had them in my trucks for 4 years+ with no issues. Cheap enough that I just bought a third set as backup in case one fails.

New housings/reflectors off eBay with good cutoffs were like $175.
