I just swapped out the bulbs, I know it’s not the point or the same but I like mine.

We’re you able to aim them correctly w/o blinding oncoming traffic?  LED’s need projectors typically as the light scatters.  If so, what type did you use?  I’d be interested in getting a set for my wife’s car as long oncoming traffic won’t constantly be hitting their high lights at her.

Yes the are a reflector halogen (WT/LT).  Same on lower trim 1500 trucks reflector halogen (WT/Custom/CustomTB).

mine were made for halogen housings, i used a wall and pretty identical on cut off though obviously much better......i didnt get the crazy high output lumens some advertise......very happy, and havent been flashed once which kinda confirms the wall test i did so fwiw......

I had to have the LED lights but I didn't want to pay the LTZ price to get them. LTZ's also have equipment I wouldn't use, so I didn't want to pay for it.
I was about to buy an LT and get the factory LED's off ebay, about half the price of the dealer.
But then I found a Z71 Sport by accident, didn't even know they made them. It is exactly what I wanted. LED's, leather, center console, wireless Android Auto, and Diesel, absolutely love the truck.
Look on ebay, you can buy the lights and the wire harnesses for around $1100.
