So i bough that truck about 2 months ago, the driving light were/are ok but there is little to no difference when i switch to high beam. I finally looked at the bulb and see that the previous owner put a LED bulb.
(Can't see a brand on them)
The LED has 3 side, 2 are low beam and 1 is high. So which way it should go in ?

If the reflector was not changed, you probably won't see much difference. Most LED headlight bulbs do not work well in incandescent reflector assemblies. Some of the new LEDs are designed to direct their light back to the reflector for proper illumination. That bulb doesn't appear to be set up that way.

If you want better high beams, look at a different bulb or setup.

I tossed those bulbs...lol.
I got some that are 2 sides, led chip located similar to the incandescent bulb. It is much better.
