Hey everyone,

Just got a 2017 EX-T and I'm looking to get some LED bulbs for the lowbeams, and possibly the highbeams. Can anyone recommend some good LED bulbs that won't break the bank?

There is a review on YouTube, look for led headlight shootout. It looks at least somewhat scientific in the approach. I ended up getting one of their highest rated sets from aliexpress for $45. Overall they are only as good as the halogen, no better. If you want better than halogen you still have to go HID at this point.

Awesome. I did a bit more research and am now looking at a HID kit. Only thing is I can't find the correct bulb/fitting to use. I tried looking in the manual but I can't find the correct size to use. Any idea where I can find that info?

Better yet, do you have any recommendations for a good HID? Willing to spend $60-$100 for a kit.

I need to clear up what I said. In terms of performance -

1. Retrofit HID
2. Stock halogen / highly rated LED plug and play
Not recommended - plug and play HID "kits"

https://www.theretrofitsource.com is the best bet for one stop shopping on HIDs. They could tell you what you need.
