Default LED Headlights

Not sure which section I should post this in, as I have several different Pontiacs. I've been contemplating putting LED headlights on one or more of my cars, but I don't like the halo look. Does anyone make an LED headlight that looks basically correct for our cars.

I have both 2 and 4 headlight cars....

Thanks,
Importsmasher

I put Beamtech LED lo beam bulbs in wife's Civic and we saw big improvement.

Never thought to replace Sealed Beams in an old Pontiac though.

Found this, might help you:

I highly recommend JW Speaker LED headlights. I replaced the factory ones on my 15 JK Jeep and they are amazing! Spendy, but worth it. Don't waste your money on the knock-offs.

In my 73 K5 I have a clear headlamp with a modern bulb which really helps.

In my 72 bird I installed the truck-lite and love them. Easy install, but expensive

You're wise to get recommendations. I wasted time buying cheap LED 7" rounds which were junk.
