My wife's 2016 EX-L has to have the worst headlights I've ever seen, or not seen. I would like to upgrade to an HID or LED headlight. Any recommendations?

Thanks odyfamily , I don't want to spend lot of time /money or mod as I am overall okay with the headlights and just trying to improve it if possible.
Is there an inplace halogen bulbs that you guys would recommend that would be better than the stock bulbs.
Thanks

Days after posting that I never drive on badly lit roads, I ventured in the Odyssey out up I-70 in the Rockies and it was a horrible experience. Poorly lit and unlit winding mountain roads with old faded lane markers and lines.
Checked out a few other threads on the topic and I now have a pair of Philips NightGuide Platinum halogen bulbs on the way. These seem to be Philips brightest halogen bulbs. Hope to avoid repeating that I-70 nightmare again. Thanks @0dyfamily!

I-70 is one of the darkest roads I have ever driven on the planet, ever. Even slight turns and changes in inclination angle REALLY make the unlit portion of your viewscape REALLY dark.
Clean the headlight lenses, if they need it. I had no idea how much that matters until I did this to my Acura TL. My D2R HID OEM headlights were probably only giving me the same illumination as a worn-out halogen setup (namely, old, worn bulbs).
I like the Philips upscale bulbs. They're my only really viable option in my old Odyssey (2002 EX).

Do you have the model number? I can't find any LED low beams made by Philips.
H11 Philips led bulbs. With ballasts.
Not the fog lights.....without ballasts.
They are on Amazon.
Can't seem to find them. Everything looks like halogen. I do see LED for fog lights.
Could you share a link?

I have these.....amazing upgrade.
You will be ditching all your old halos after you install these.
I have a set in my wife's hyundai for 4 years. No flickers or dullness. Just white light.
Those Philips LEDs are not US DOT legal, that's why they are so hard to find. You won't find them on the Philips USA website but if you switch over to Canada site there they are:

Zero issues with these bulbs in two vehicles.
One is our 15 ody.
Philip has a 12 year warranty on the bulbs for repair or replacement.
Any chance you can update the link to these bulbs? I can't stand the stock bulbs and bought some LED ones but they suck as bad as the OEM.I have been using this LED bulb for about 2 years now. And very happy with it.

Anyone else have any recommendations for HID or LED less than the Phillips ones?
Not sure Amazon Canada would even ship them here.
Thank!
I guess small update for me in response of the quote.
I'm still using the same LED bulb, marks it 3.5 years now, almost 4 years.
The amazon has '2024' version of it and it's 20,000 lumens now compare to 14,000 lumens I have.
Still $39.99 but it has 20% coupon available. What a buy haha.
PS. I don't work for Fahren, just in case anyone was wondering.
I ordered this Fahren set but it comes in a 4 pack. I'll use the other two on my other car. There's a$10 coupon now.
It's MUCH brighter than OEM on the RIGHT. It's not like the LED sharp cut off on my newer BMW or VW cars, but there is a nice cut off line even with the stock housing.
