LED Headlights
 

1 Attachment(s)
I've tried many halogen and led lights for my '36.
Halogen were good, but drew a lot of current.
Led's were off color, yellow or blue tint.


Latest Led is perfect. Really bright white light. Amp gauge barely flickers when turning them on.

Yes and blinding on coming drivers because LEDs throw very white light in all directions through original lens and reflectors.which wernt designed for them. Apart from that they are good for the cars driver. Who cares about other drivers ??? Regards, Kevin.

The older LEDs were bad with light scatter. I also switched from quartz to LED to decrease the load on my generator and they have worked very well. I set them in my garage and the cutoff was excellent.

"Won’t blind other drivers

The 9007 HB5 led bulbs kit has a perfect beam pattern to ensure the safety of both drivers, with no glare or dark spots reduces your driving stress and exhaustion"

I also recently both turn signal lights from AUXITO. My after market buckets have a socket for 1157 bulbs but I didn't like the amber look in the buckets. The ones I just bought are white when off and don't have this issue.

These are photos with turn/signal lights on and off. The amber is also readily visible with the headlight bulb on too.
