This way the Light emitting diodes are in the right place, comparable to where the burning filament would be with the halogen. Additionally, make sure you adjust your headlights off a wall as to make sure you aren’t blinding other drivers, because they are BRIGHT. Like DAYLIGHT.

Headlights are definitely not consistently that easy to take out. Many manufacturers like to make it so you have to either take the whole assembly out, or go in from the wheel well.

The only shift knob that I love is the early MOPAR pistol-grip shift knob

So for the headlights... Many newer cars require you to remove at least part of the front of the car, if not the whole front clip just to get to the screws that allow you to remove the headlight assembly to get to the bulbs. Enjoy.

It's not that easy to install LED or HID bulbs. It's not just a swap. In majority of vehicles, you need to mod the weather seal cap so that LED housing can fit as no LED will work great unless it has a housing containing driver and cooling fan. HID on the other hand have a ballast, and that ballast needs to go through the cap. With this, you need to drill a hole through the cap in order to fit either of these light bulb types. Furthermore proper adjustment of the headlight pattern and you're good to go. If you have projector headlights, don't bother using LED bulbs for that as those suck in terms of brightness while inside projectors, use HID instead. I hope this bit of information helps. I drive a Golf Mk2, so I don't need to worry about all that crap with the weather sealing cap, but you may have to. Note: some headlights can only support halogen bulbs due to their design. Test before replacing.

I had a question about the gear shifter mods, I would love an aftermarket one but for my car to get into reverse there is a button, so any recommendations, it's a vauxhall corsa excite

I liked all the mods. The only one I like/don't like is the led head lights. I love led lights. Really bright I can see everything much better. But it seems like everyone goes as bright as they can. Witch is great for the driver. But every one else. Totally blinds them. To me on coming traffic blind by my lights is a very scary thought. Of course can't stand being the driver in the other end of led lights.
