Default LED Headlight bulb upgrade ?

Does anyone know of anyone producing a LED upgrade for our Crossfires ? What other bulbs should I consider ? I drive ALOT at night and would like some input on which ones to look at for my car. Thanks, Tim

From what I have seen on this subject on this forum the LEDs are in third spot behind HIDs and the OEM Halogen bulbs for low beams, for high beams they are even further behind. That is if you can ignore the warm up time for the HID bulbs and some can.
There is a comparison here somewhere.

That is mostly what I am running, some people say they do not last long but they seem OK to me.

Only one SS Ultra bulb (out of the four) went out on me since installing the set of 4 back in (I believe) 2009.

I think I have had 1 headlight go out since I started using them. I replace in pairs so I guess I have replaced the set once. I buy them on Ebay for all my cars and not had a problem yet.

They seem OK to me, remember that Canada nominally requires that cars run with daytime running lights and the Crossfire runs with the lights, front low beams and tail lights, at full wattage all the time.
