Default LED Headlight Bulbs ..

Considering Replacing Headlight Bulbs with LED's High & Low Beam.. I have the 2017 Accord / Sport Model.. I'm told the Touring model already comes with LED Low Beams , not the Sport model.. Hence on the Sport model the Housing the High Beam sits is not adequate, an LED Bulb would be more of a Reflector not a Projector. Therefore replacing to a Housing that would be compatible ?? Thoughts Opinions Appreciated.. Cheers Thanks

I have replaced my bulbs on my 17' Accord LX-S with LED bulbs from Sealight. Completely plug & play. I have had no issues with mine. I love mine, nice and bright (6500K). I don't see why you would need to change housings.

Thanks for the Comeback... Being that your from South of the 49th may make a difference in the Bulb Housing used.. A 2017 Honda Accord Sport here has a Reflective Backing to the High Beam Bulb .. I need a Projector style Backing, with the Reflective Backing the light is distorted and makes for blitzing effect to on coming traffic especially on a rural road where there is no overhead lighting to dim the glare some ?? It appears the LED Low Beam is fine, it's the Reflective Mirror backing that interferes with a LED High Beam (???)

Okay. Is this a Canadian thing, or does the US have the same thing?

I've done some digging and from what I've found , it's a question in General . It's more than just "Plug & Play" The LED Bulb , the Aim of the Bulb has to be properly installed at the 9 & 3 position .. That is done by slightly loosening the set screw underneath the ring below the Bulb Filament so that when the Bulb is locked in place the beam is horizontal (9&3).. After I came across this explanation I could conquer on the number of on coming traffic that didn't take this step in the installation, is all.. This basically applies to the Bulb installed with a Reflective Mirrored Background.
