LED headlamp conversion
Any idea of how to convert the headlamp into LED?
Anybody did it?
What is the best kit?
The low beam is H7 and the high beam is 9005 with DRL.

You cannot convert the high beam if you want to keep the DRL on.
If we talk about the low beams, then I would go with Morimoto 55W HID. That’s what I have and I’m happy with them.I think LED H7 are not yet powerful enough.

Thanks for the plug, @Clutchless.
As for the OP's question, we have H7 LED Conversion Kits and 9005 LED Conversion Kits, but you will need the CANBUS/PWM anti-flicker module option for the High Beams to avoid flickering problems with your DRLs. That being said, the LEDs are not able to dim and provide a different level of brightness in DRL mode, so it will be like driving with those lights on at full intensity most of the time.
For your H7 Low Beams, you will also want to check and see if you have any sort of H7 Bulb Adaptor or Clip that helps hold the halogens securely in the housing. Sometimes you can use or modify a stock adaptor, or sometimes you need to purchase a modified one, if you are going with a conversion kit, but LED bulbs are sized/shaped a bit differently than halogens/HIDs, so you may need to do more modifications or find an LED-specific adaptor.
