Is there a particular Reason why you don't just go full OEM LED?

Are you asking why I went with the <$50 solution vs the >$2500 solution?

Well... I mean you don't have to go OEM plus you can always sell your existing pair of headlights for the remaining value it is worth. There are aftermarket solutions that can be plug and play that looks just like OEM and even functions like OEM for a fraction of the cost. I think (not certain) OEM however either requires a module or converter or it could also be plug and play, you could also buy a used one I think? (As long as it isn't stolen and sold online). It still boils down to if you are happy with what you have though and the mod you did, that is what matters the most. Headlight design is personal preference after all.
