I have a question. My older parents just leased a new 2021 base Equinox. So they have Halogen headlights. They are complaining about the headlights to me already. I drove it and must say...they are horrific at best!!! Can I put LEDs/HIDs in the projectors without any mods or will these blind oncoming traffic like they will in older, open style headlights? Will the electrical system and wiring handle putting these in the vehicle?

Installing LED lights on Halogen housing will blind oncoming traffic. I purchased LED headlight housing on eBay and installed on my 2014 Equinox. I did not do any electrical modification.

I do appreciate the answer, but the 2021 has projector housings already. Why they would put a halogen bulb is beyond me. I'm well aware of blinding oncoming traffic as I have done plenty of research on conventional housings. But as I stated the 2021 Equinox already has projector style housings and even the "upper curtain" that controls the height of the lights....so not sure why they have halogen and not sure if I could just replace them with LEDs/HIDs.

As long as you have projector housing and in your case you even got the upper curtain, the light shouldn't blind the oncoming traffic. I only have the projector housing and my light beam is perfect.
Halogen bulbs are probably found on less expensive models and LEDs on high end models.
