I put LED bulbs in and so far they work great. This is what I used,

Silver star ultras are great

Are yours aimed correctly, lenses clear? I put some parts store upgrade bulbs in mine(89), and it has very good headlights.
Yeah they are aimed correctly and the lenses are clear they are starting to look a little yellow but still clear for the most part..

I replaced my OEM housings with clear housings, then added some silverstar ultras and a relay kit. I'm sure i could improve things more, but i'm quite happy with this setup, much better than stock.

I have been holding off upgrading my housings until I tear it apart for paint. I use silverstar in other vehicles and am happy. My truck though is so bad my wife asked if I should get a LED light bar for the front!
Before you do anything with replacement bulbs I would do a relay kit. It really improves the brightness as well as safety. Our trucks are notorious for low voltage at the lights because they run power all the way to the switch and back out to the bulbs. Also, they tend to heat up the switch with all the power that has to go thru them. I did the LMC kit because I was in a hurry. It has worked very well. The only real drawback is that I have been told you have to use their relay as it isn't a standard relay. A lot of members here have wired their own. I think there is a thread in the tech articles.

You can get a relay harness, and a several way fuse block for aftermarket stuff, on Amazon for CHEAP.

I've been wondering about those led bulbs, is the pattern okay? Also noted I'm running those top shelf xenon filled bulbs you buy at the Auto stores they are much brighter than the stock replacements and brighter than their shelf product as well but I've wanted led for a while but have been thrown off on how good they can work for the low price those ones seem to cost?

So far so good. Eventually I'm thinking about projector headlights, just cuz it's so stinken hard to get all 3 lights up front to wine up with no gaps in them. It sure would be nice to have some one piece bright headlights. No gaps or adjusting to worry about. Just have to adjust where they point.

The projectors? I've heard decent things about them. They're kinda pricey at like 200 bucks a set. But it is somewhat hassle free....
