Rodtiques 12v LED Headlights & Reflectors
On occasion I find myself driving my '31 Model A Coupe at night; I always feel less than comfortable with my stock lighting (especially since we have a lot of deer where I live). I tried the halogen bulbs, but found that while they are bright you can't get a decent focus. I'm now considering purchasing a pair of 12v LED reflectors and lights from Rodtiques. The Rodtiques LED lights claim to be brighter than Halogens, don't require focusing, and use 60% less current. Has anyone tried these lights, and if so, how did you they work for you? Thanks to all for any input you may have.

Looking at a headlight and seeing it looks brighter isn't the same as how far the light is projected down the road

Re: Rodtiques 12v LED Headlights & Reflectors
I am still in the planning stage for my Model A but I intend to use a B-1125 "Brite" bulb from Ron Francis Wire Works,https://www.ronfrancis.com/searchprods.asp, reflectors from Bratton's and wiring from A&L. I did something similar on my '32 and am pleased with the results. I look forward to seeing comments about Rodtiques. I am unable to find the product in their on line catalog and am waiting for a call back from them.

Re: Rodtiques 12v LED Headlights & Reflectors
Very interested on how your Rodtiques LEDs work on the road. Please let everyone know when you get them. Keeping my fingers crossed. 😁 I'm only interested in the ones w/o turn signals since I already have signals.

Thanks Ken, Have contacted the company, getting ready to order. Return email responses within a day, they are in England. They very helpful if you do not know bulbs/technical stuff, and figuring out what to order. Looking at Tail/stop lamps replacements only. Have always been uncomfortable with the output of the original incandescents, especially during the day. Doing only the stop/tail, hardly ever drive at night. |

Re: Rodtiques 12v LED Headlights & Reflectors
I'm very happy with my Bratton reflectors and 6v Halogen bulbs. Highlights are as bright as modern cars and sight distance is very good also. I could become interested in the LED's/reflectors from Rodtiques is they offer them in 6 volt.
