Hello all, I used to browse this forum years ago. I am glad to see it is still active!
I am getting a 2013 Chevy express cutaway van with the "work truck" front grille. It has 5"x7" sealed beam headlights. I would like to upgrade.
Should I convert the front grille to the high trim composite headlight front grille (probably junkyard components with OEM housings)? I doubt the composite lights are anything special but if they would be better than any of the sealed beam upgrades I would convert to composite.
If I stay with the existing work truck grille should I go with Koito H4 housings (with quality bulbs and relay harness) or should I go with an LED option? Would LED be significantly better than the Koito H4? I see there are LED housings with built in heaters now, this is of some concern because I do live in an area that receives snow in the winter. Not sure how much of a problem unheated LEDs are, I have not used any LED headlights before. I would certainly want a high quality LED option, not ebay/amazon junk.
The vehicle is a cutaway van with a Spartan service body. Tail lights are 4" round recessed stop/turn/tail incandescent trailer style light. Is there a recommended LED upgrade for these type of lights?
Thanks!
