Anyone recommend a good led for VZ SS? I got one in mine at the moment and the fan noise is very loud and annoying

I ended up fitting some Phillips Crystal Vision.

Might not be as bright as the LED or HIDs but should be better than the 10 year old stock halogens!

I don’t want to blind others, probably just want the best halogen globes
The VF headlights have a really clean cut off and hence you won't be blinding anyone with this kit. I have been using them for almost 3 years now and not once have I been flashed at or seen another driver indicate that my lights were bothering them.

They are not ADR compliant and not approved for on road use. I have been stopped several times for RBTs and RDTs, but the cops have not paid attention to the headlights even once. IMHO you are unlikley to get pinged unless you drive like a tool - like some of those jacked up SUVs/ Utes you see everyday.

In my experience, the crystal visions were horrible in rain. It felt like I had no lights. Your experience might be different - but I wouldn't have them on my car again.

I liked the Crystal Vision and after they blew I went Diamond Vision. Whiter light but not as bright especially when wet. The Crystal visions were the best out of the two I have had so far. I also have LEDs for High beams which are fantastic.
