That is likely because of a few possibilities:
1. Reasons such as the subject of this post by simply changing bulbs to HID or LED.
2. Stock LED/ HID lights not properly aimed
3. Trucks lifted up higher than factory without adjusting the lights

People putting HID/ LED's in reflector housings that are designed for halogen lights throw light everywhere. If you really want better lighting, you need to have your stock lights retrofitted with HID or LED's and the proper projector. This will give a significantly better light spread with a sharp cutoff. Done correctly and aimed properly, this will be much better than stock halogen setups and will not be blinding.

Its very easy to tell the vehicles that have HID's/ LED's thrown into them vs the newer vehicles that come with HID/ LED from the factory or older vehicles with a good retrofit.

There is a VERY good facebook page with way more info called "headlight junkies"

i went with morimoto hid retrofit's in my sierra 2500 for hi\low(oem was an epic failure from gm) and morimoto led fogs with a custom made relay harness where the fogs are always on when the headlights (hi or low) are on.. super bright and rock solid for 3 years they have been installed. did the same retrofit on my wife's yukon when we bought it for her. she had a cadillac srx with oem hit and was less than impressed with gm's same epic failure on the yukon.

i get all my lighting upgrades from www.theretrofitsource.com great guys will help with any and all questions. I am in no way affiliated with them just a happy repete customer..

I have been using Diode Dynamics LEDs and HID systems for 4 years now and their light focus is UNMATCHED!! These are not just crazy bright annoying light systems from China, but all made in the USA. I've installed their lights in five different vehicles, including my Connie14 touring motorcycle.

What you're looking for is a 9012 swap.

This is very true about ppl who put LED/HIDS In the wrong housing....it doesn’t matter how you adjust them when its not designed for your headlight

After a couple of recommendations I went with Fehrens, istall was easy, price was right and Im very happy with the results so far...

I have a 1997 Prevost Marathon MotorCoach and the headlamps SUCK!! They are OLD SCHOOL 1991 Ford Bronco/F150 square headlights. I decided to upgrade them with a focused LED Projector and could not be happier with the results. I also bought the Porsche Panamera LED trim rings.

I bought the LED Projectors here:
You will need the Butyl sealant:
If you want to add the LED Projector trim rings: These can be hooked to your turn signals and running lights to give a switchback flip from white to amber.

I like the LED idea also but being from the midwest and traveling to the UP to snowmobile I have never made the switch. LED's do not throw off any heat and I have been told they will ice over in snow? I have a LED light bar in the front bumper that I do use up north when it is real dark, I just have to keep it clean manually.

I'm a little late to this party, but I do not recommend swapping "drop in" LED bulbs into housings designed for halogen bulbs. The reason folks who do this have so may people flashing them - and the reason they think these bulbs "look so bright" - is that they do not direct the light output properly. (It has almost nothing to do with aiming.) A friend of mine put together a great post in another forum describing exactly why they don't work and it includes solid scientific data to back up his statements:

The problem is MOST of the kids who do this don’t care about anyone else. They just want too “ look cool” not trying to improve the lighting...just what I have noticed from the D-bags around here... and they also think its ok to run their off-road light bars and pods on the road too...
