Some notes about replacing Incan -> LED and why I have not done it:
Legal or not?
At least here in Finland, EU, you CAN buy them legally locally. For example Philips, for 100+€ a pair but they clearly state they are NOT road legal.
Do people use them or not, do they get busted?
Yes they use. Not by a huge margin but You can spot people and usually retards doing these retrofits to 20-30 year old cars which have completely sandblasted glasses in their headlights. Looks horrible, 0/5.
In reality, people get busted from it very rarely. Police have other things to do.
Inspection?
It´s 50/60 if it will pass or not. Re-inspection fee is something like 10-20€ here.
Why I don´t use them??
Well. I have tested a couple of years ago a few items.
- For reflector light, beam became crap. For projector light, it kind of worked after adjusting for low beam. Not so much for the high beam.
- CRI is very bad, light more like blue than neutral. Horrible tint.
- Protector caps had to be left open
- On a PLUS side, I took measurements and the peak intensity actually rose for projector light on low beam.
- Nowadayschanged my car to old Prius, it has LED-lights anyway, no use to fiddle with them.
