New headlight question

To replace them with LEDs, all you need do is remove the headlights and attach the LED light bars (or whatever you are using) to the wires that went to the headlights. Don't forget that the LEDs have polarity so check that you have 12V at the wires then touch the wires to the LED terminals. If they don't work then reverse the wires.

If you are hoping to leave the headlights in position and simply convert them to LED you can get light bulbs that are actually LED bulbs in any auto store. Replace the headlight bulbs with those.
