As far as I can determine there are NO aftermarket LED bulbs that are certified for headlight use (when replacing a halogen capsule).

For sealed beam headlights, you can find aftermarket LED bulbs that are certified for headlight use. But they are expensive, about $100 each from what I’ve seen.

I’ve seen sealed-beam LED replacements that just consist of an array of LEDs with no obvious way to control the beam. And this in a state with an annual safety inspection that is supposed to reject the vehicle for having that junk installed.

Right. The newest “near point source” aftermarket LED headlight bulbs probably have not been available long enough to be certified. But, they are sold on Amazon, etc., just like the others.
