Yet another headlight question

[DickLowman]

Most headlight threads herein deal with projectors. I have reflectors. Prior threads are pretty clear: LED are better than OEM halogens, H9s are better than H11s, and 9011s are better than 9005s. Got it. Two questions: 1. Has anyone run a side-by-side actual road vision comparison between LEDs and the upgraded halogens? (Manufacturer reviews are inconsistent.) And 2. For those who have tried the halogen upgrades, do they last? (Manufacturers claim 140 to 800 hours "average" life - seems pretty short.)

I put a set of H9's and 9011's in my 2010 back in 2017 and they are still going strong. I bought a set of LED's in 2023, just haven't replaced them yet, waiting on one to finally burn out. Figured they were due any day, but they're still going.
