Have been absent (locked my self out) for a while and see a few people have posted re putting PX3 headlights in their pathetic PX2's head lights
Would it not be simpler and cheaper to put Stedies led globes in their head lights to obtain the same result??????

Personal choice but yes it would be easier. Most would want them due to DRLS.

It's illegal to fit LED into halogen hedlamps so if you are in a crash with another vehical at night just another out for insurance company to void your coverage.

Worse yet if its a head on and the investigation determines your retrofit LED lights are a factor in crash you are well up the creek.

I have stedi LED's in my highbeam only- still not on the legal side of the fence but highbeams don't get used in traffic.
