    Hi folks,
    Has anyone used LED headlight bulbs in place of halogens?
    Are they similar situation to xenon's where you have to have the projector headlights? Or can they be used in a reflector unit and still pass nct?
    Are they worth it? I've seen since cheap ones on aliexpress might be worth a shot for the price!

    Actually, yes.

    They won't pass, they will shine very bright, but not in right direction and obviously they'd dazzle everyone around you.
