LED conversion kit? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi everyone!
I've got a 2012 Camaro, and I feel it's time to do something about its lighting. With time the headlights got a little dim, so I had them polished. Also, I replaced the old halogen bulbs with the new ones (Sylvania). Yet, I cannot say that I am happy with the result. So I think of getting an LED conversion kit installed.
Before starting the project, I thought I will step in and ask you folks, what you think of this. Maybe there is something I need to know before I start this conversion?
Any help is appreciated!

I just picked up some Beamtech H11 LED bulbs from Amazon (2 to a pack) and they are a straight bulb replacement for my low beams. No conversion or additional wiring. Plug and play for less than $50 total.

I should have done this a while ago and need to replace my high beams and fog lights.

I was also looking at Beamtech, Hikari and Fahren LEDs.

Do you like the light output? I have never had LEDs as low beams, so I was a bit afraid of that glare many people are talking about, you know. As I do not want to bind anyone, yet I badly need better light.

Light output is better than stock but not obnoxious. Just make sure you have your headlights aimed properly. They are really easy to adjust up or down with an allen wrench.
