Check the vleds.com site -
@darkmoon99 Awesome. Thanks for the input. I saw the H7 on there that has about 3000 lumens. I think that should be bright enough for what a standard halogen would output.
Which LED did you go with? This one? MICRO LED HEADLIGHT H7 - H7 - Low Beam - LED Headlights - Shop Products -
You ever try any led bulbs out in your 5700?

As far as plug and play led bulbs go, most are horrible...especially for high beams. The only one I've heard good things about is diode dynamics sl1 bulbs but they are pricey and may be geared more towards reflector housings.
That headlight is a perfect candidate for a bixenon hid projector retrofit. I think you can find a direct bolt in option by the looks of those ones. www.theretrofitsource.com has everything you'd need to have the best lights you've ever seen...
Here is a retrofit I did using a Morimoto fx-r projector.... You can easily tell how much brighter it is.
These 2 pics are one I did using a Morimoto md2s 4.0 projector and Phillips xv2 bulbs. I have never seen so good in my entire life! My western star has the evo2 jw speakers and they absolutely suck compared to my retrofit headlights..... Plus the projectors have a good cutoff line so I never get flashed.Tug Toy and RocketyMan Thank this. -
I recently replaced the left and right headlamp assemblies, the old ones used the worthless H-7 bulb. The new ones use the H-11 bulb. I have since installed H-11 LED lamps, much brighter, plug and play with no issues so far.
dustinbrock Thanks this. -
i have a 2019, im thinking of going with these, H9/H11 LED Fanless Headlight/Fog Light Conversion Kit with Internal Drivers - 4,000 Lumens/Set | Super Bright LEDs
RocketyMan Thanks this. -
Did you try these? Did they work?
-
I bought H7 led bulb from Headlight Experts. Works great. A friend of mine bought the same about a year ago, no problems.
-
Did anyone come up with a good solution to the issue? I love the results that Dustin got, but will it work in the 5700EX headlight setup? Thanks My lights are so bad I can't hardly drive at night anymore!
