Replace headlamp bulbs

I have a 2011 Thor Astoria. I’m replacing the headlamp bulbs and would like to upgrade to LED. They seem to have a different base than the existing Halogen. Does anyone know if the LED will fit?

The base on an LED bulb will normally have a heat sink built in. With that said, they are designed to fit most automotive applications. You may have to slightly modify your headlight shell, or the rubber seal on the back.

Greetings and Welcome

After drive at night this week I'm ready for LED's

What is your halogen bulb #, H8, H9, H11, 9003, 9005, 9006 etc, etc there are dozens of headlight bulbs #'s!
The LED bulb will be the same #.
Here's a Amazon link, type your (halogen) # in the search bar.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=led+headl..._ts-doa-p_1_13

You'll want to pay attention to the Kelvin (K) # on the led bulb, anything higher than 6500 will be VERY blue we call those KMart cars

Also look for a higher Lumen #, 10000 LM will not be as bright as 20000 LM, 24000 LM will be VERY bright.

Hope this helps and let us know your progress.
