Looking to upgrade headlights
Just bought our new 2022 Coachmen Pursuit 27xps the headlights are horrible. Just not great for night driving and would like to purchase something brighter. Does anyone know what would work as a replacement? Coachmen stated whatever fits in the hole should be able to attach. Has anyone upgraded their headlights?
Thank you,
Jill

Could the headlights be aimed wrong? Like too high or something? There should be some how to videos on YouTube

We have adjusted them appropriately which helped a little. We are just looking for a brighter light, they really do not light the road well

What kind of lights are they. I replaced my truck's (chevy 2500) with an aftermarket led bulbs from Amazon and they were so much better.

the leds are good but the real good ones cost a lot like $150 to 300 a bulb have built in cooling fans and do not work with the drl function , HID lighting needs ballasts and run hot also these are the ones along with the good leds that blind people at night . sylvaina makes one of the brightest bulbs for a standard replacement which is slightly toward the white spectrum compared to the yellow stock bulbs and they run about $100 for 2 bulbs

This is the current light we have, Stellar lighting. Not sure how to find an equal replacement for it or if we can just replace the bulbs. Thank you for your help. I did try to upload images of the light itself.

I posted photos of the lights. I am not that savvy so any assistance is appreciated. How can I find out if my could be a substitute as well?

Thank you! I’d like to just get brighter bulbs, just not sure how to go about that. I posted photos above. I do appreciate your help, I can change a car headlight but haven’t had to do an RV one.

My 2012 was the same way. I changed my headlight bulbs out to LEDs from Amazon. just pull a bulb and get the number off it. one of the best upgrades I did. The difference is literally night and day LOL. the new LEDs have a fan with a heat sink. LEDs should only be installed in the projector type housings, which is what yours has. if they are installed in the reflector type housings (the ones without the round housing) all that would happen is they would be brighter but the light would be scattered and you would blind oncoming traffic.
I also replaced my driving lights with a set of LED housings for a Jeep wrangler, they are a direct bolt in only requiring to swap over the pigtail. and I modded the relay to keep the driving lights on with the high beams. which may be illegal in some states, but so is using the high beams with oncoming traffic. I now look forward to driving at night!
these are the LEDs i installed. the LED needs to be vertical. they can be clocked to be installed vertical.

Do a search on eBay, they have a ton of info and products for the automotive industry. I tried them once for my 2014 Sportscoach and the exact replacement headlights came right up.
