Can i switch to LED headlight bulbs for my 2005 caravan. Autozone box says for 'autosport/fog only'. Are there LED bulbs for regular driving (#9007) are there trusted websites to buy from/specific brands? looking for basic LED. I am nearly homebound disabled, cost is an issue. I replaced the headlight assemblies and it still isn't bright enough, not even the best halogen lights seem adequate.

They have been adequate for the past 20 years. The housing is likely faded. Have it buffed out.

why would the housing on a BRAND NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY be faded???????
Your response is idiotic, please do me a favor and kick me off this site.
I had tried cleaning up the original assemblies, they were just too worn.
Talking to others with older cars, it seems like because most other cars have LED, it feels like we can't see when they are oncoming (their lights seem to make our lights useless).
It is only in poorly lit areas that it is a problem or if painted lines are faded.
I kept doing the research on my own and found an intelligent answer. Older headlights are not made to handle LED and can be blinding to other drivers if you switch to LED. So I am not doing it. I suspect the new assembly came with the cheapest bulbs and am going to switch the brightest halogen. (something like this would have been an intelligent response on here)
Its just that I can barely function due to my disabilities and when I ask for help, i get idiocy like 'your headlights are faded' when they are brand new. I can't afford and don't have the physical ability to do this twice so I need to do it right the 1st time
I guess it doesn't take much to be a moderator on here.
