Upgrades for people with active cornering??
So I want to keep my active cornering, but also want to upgrade the look.
Are there any bulb upgrades that I can do?
Is it possible to do an led bar and keep the active cornering?
I worry that fully swapping the active cornering for an led bar will in essence take away my active cornering entirely?

By active cornering I think you're referring to the HID bulbs for your low beams, not very experienced with the factory HID system so I apologize if I am off. However, do NOT replace your factory HIDs with LED bars - almost all of the ones I have seen have a different focal length than the Xenons and will be basically ineffective wherever you install them. Of course, there may be certain products out there designed for this purpose but be careful of cheap kits or eBay products that can very well diminish the functionality of your headlights which is awfully dangerous. This is true for foglights as well, put LEDs in them and you've essentially ruined their effectiveness - upgrading for looks while actually ruining functionality is a very ricer thing to do and just a waste of money.

If you're looking for stick on LED bars for the headlights, you have the wrong forum.
