Re: led light bulbs
Do I have the pricing correct? Seems expensive. $73.00 for 2 BA15S LED headlight bulbs.

Re: led light bulbs
old31. Yes you did the math correctly- I think it was 82.00 total to get it to the States.
I like them thou. Is it worth 82 bucks? who knows. They are brighter and give a nice white light, . Just need to get the lights aimed correctly. paul |

Re: led light bulbs
I use an LED in my dash light... Specs say: 96 Lumins of warm white light. But then again my system is 12v.

Re: led light bulbs
I saw one at Hershey, the focus pattern is sort of a figure 8 and fuzzy
The original bulbs have a V shaped filament, gives a sharp focused beam with clear edges without the lens at 20 feet just a little larger than the diameter of the light, the halogen bulbs I have use straight filaments, the focus is a little larger and some fuzzy edges--- so 1/32 makes a difference, the led bulbs move the light 1/8", and only 2 spots of light-- I think s lens could be designed to work with them, when led bulbs are OE the reflector is much different, sort of a cut in 1/2 rams horn The real test is not how brilliant they look looking close, but how far the concentrated light is projected down the road---- most electric poles have reflectors, my car lights them up 8 poles away, about 1/3 mile--- 35 watt halogens, everything else original, including generator, never charged except by driving, I am going to try some hid bulbs, but for low beam it will have to tilt the bulb |

Maybe adapt one of these? https://www.aliexpress.com/6V-LED-Bulbs-P5W Or solder this in an old broken bulb https://www.aliexpress.com/-LED-Conversion-upgrade-Dashboard-bulb-5v-24V Rated from 5 volt up to 24 in the same bulb huh? Then this one looks like a straight swap for a headlight bulb, and doesn't need to be modified for focus. https://www.aliexpress.com-6-1200LM Seems to be a few options out there.

The only 6V BA15S offered by superbright these days is forward firing. Maybe a 12V (AC/DC) @ 250 lumens or so would work. LEDs are usually dimmable. Pays yer money, takes yer chances. |

I'm still skeptical about the focus; Henry's reflectors just weren't designed for them. Ya pays yer money, ya takes yer chances. |

Badpuppy, do you know what base fits the stock dash light? I have a list of LEDs I bought but I am not sure which one I used. I thought it was the one I linked to above... |

Re: led light bulbs
All stock sockets except headlights are BA15S. Headlights BA15D.

Re: led light bulbs
The headlight specs on the aliexpress site show 930 lumens, roughly equivalent to 50+32 CP. Difference is that both LEDs light on high beam, so it's more like 80/40 CP. Obviously it throws a lot of light out there. However due to the thickness of the mounting, there's a significant dead band between the two LEDs, explaining the figure-8 pattern. I'm sure they will do for most folks, but Henry's rolling.
