Is it okay to just replace the bulb when converting from halogen to LED lights?

[Ricardo]

Converting from halogen to LED lights cannot be done by just replacing the bulb; the entire headlight assembly needs to be replaced. Here are the considerations: 1. Addressing heat dissipation: Converting to LED lights is a systematic project. Although LEDs are cold light sources, they still generate heat when operating. Therefore, heat dissipation must be addressed when installing LED car lights. Hence, converting to LED headlights requires proper heat dissipation design and cannot be done by merely replacing the bulb. 2. Addressing the issue of the light source's emission point: Halogen lights use either lenses or reflector bowls, which raises the question of where the light source's emission point is. If halogen lights are directly replaced with LED light sources without changing the lenses or reflector bowls, the illumination range and angle will be altered, resulting in poorer performance.
