LEDS

Replaced the halogen low beam bulbs with LED low beam bulbs and they do not work as good as the halogens. They shine about 3-5 feet from the car and that is about it. Does anyone know if the factory enclosure for the low beam bulb needs to be modified or bulb turned a specific way to be reflected better?
thanks for any advice, input or experience with this

Leds in housing not designed to capture LED surface mounted light spread will result in what you're seeing in redyxre throw distance. You're better off with an HID conversion kit which although different focal point, is true 360 output.
