Led headlights have arrived
- Thread starter Kain
- Start date
looks way to bright for on coming cars . . . . make sure you don't need to am them down a bit . . .
Still like them? Wife why my lights where so dim and crappy on how and no one would flash me me I had my all lights on (high beams) and I thought hmmm maybe new ones good excuse. Newer cars blind me while driving at night.
They are really not as bad as the pics make it look. My phone has that light enhancing feature for night shots. When behind a car at a light, the beam hits right at the rear brake lights of the car in front of me. It is a super white light though...night and day from stockers.
Heavy did you do just low beams for now or all 4 at once?
Thinking going with 2 for now then get others 2 after x mas.

I have an '84 K20....2 headlight system. High and low beam in one.

Thoughts on winter use? Curious if you will get excessive snow build up on them. Regular bulbs tend to keep the lens warm enough to shed some of the snow. These led's exhaust all their heat off the back.
Getting ready to try some led bulbs in my 03

they say snow here next weekend ill tell ya after is snows. thats a concern of mine to cause these dont get that hot
Kain you where 110% right there are GREAT! I installed them at 5pm today. When I left work was nice and dark so I got a easy test review from them. There 3 times better then factory. I drove 12 miles home highway and city mix out into the country, not one time was I flashed or saw someone flip there mirror up on me. Best part was on the darkest part of my ride I past a sheriff and had no problems. I really enjoyed my drive home being able to see perfectly clear.
I did reuse the factory wiring connector by switching wires and cleaned all the terminals up and installed die-electrical grease on terminals. Thanks for being the first to try them and posting results. Here is real world feed back from 2 guys on these now!
Plan on getting 2 more after Xmas.

We'll see how they work . Ones with big heat sinks on the back dont' fit.

Ive seen a few trucks around here with those LED headlights, me personally, I would waste my time on them. they were bright, very bright, meaning absolute no control over the light pattern coming out of them, just blinding everyone in their path. Good luck.
And then the city busses around here run LED headlights, but they are powered by one single high powered bulb, and run through a projector type of housing that keeps the light on the road and not up in oncoming traffics eyes.

the ones i have in now you can point the beam i thought you could not but there is a pattern, easier to adjust in the dark

Six cops is only a partial test. Wait until you pass another twenty cops, two dozen Highway Patrol and three Immigration & Naturalization vehicles.
