LED Headlights Win!

[Beaverseagle]

Hi Everyone,

Just thought I'd share my recent purchase.  I recently updated all my turn signals, backup, tail, and brake lights to LED. I was wondering what could be done about my headlights.

I found these on Amazon

They work great!. They bolt right in to my 82 SX4. You will probably need to use longer screws in the square, metal headlight retainers. You also have to reverse the to side light wires on the low beam plug.  On the high beams just spin the light plug 180 degrees.   Also just bend the center male  plug pin back on the high beams as well.

Other than that it was pretty simple.  I've only had them for about 2 weeks now but they were great so far.

And the light is huge improvement.  It's a white light rather than a blue one you see on the HID lights.

Thanks for the link and I'm glad they work for you.  Any chance you could post a night time picture with the lights on?  Thanks.

Hid also should need some sort of igniter/whateveritscalledexactly put in to the wiring. I have done the hid to my older 2 fords. Never ventured into the led yet. I will say the tortoise i did it to can illuminate a sign just over 3 long blocks away. They are not blinding however. I checked. Whatever max legal is, is what i put in that car. BTW  hid is not always blue.. there is about 4  other colors. I think 10k blue is the brightest legal i think.

I would love to here more on the power of your led's.

These things are pretty bright.  I have no idea while the high beams pic is bigger than the rest.

Thanks for posting the pictures.  Unfortunately they aren't showing up for me.  I'll have to look at them later on another machine or something.

Strange...I can see them in the post. Let me know if you are still having issues

[mudkicker715]

Cannot see them either. I took a look at your post and have no cluewhy. You can upload directly to this site rather than using a third party to host and than link it here. Just hit attachments and other options below the post box.

They wanted me to shrink the pics which made them worthless.

That works!  Thanks!

Beaver if you are hosting on Google Drive you have to make the photo public. Otherwise no one can see the linked photo.

Do they blind on coming traffic or is the light path still pretty norm and stays at the right height?

[Beaverseagle]

I'll mess with the settings. I'm hosting them on google phtotos.

They don't seem to be blinding anyone.  I've had to point them down at a steeper angle compared to stock.

How did all the other LED lights work out? Are they brighter than stock bulbs ? Did you replace dash lights also?

[Beaverseagle]

They work great. I just got my rear and front side running lights working. They haven't been working since i got the bird running. I didnt go with the brightest options to keep the costs down.  My reverse lights are really bright.  Over all though i think they are brighter but look normal.  The only interior light i got was the dome light.  I went with an off white but i should have gotten a brighter white light.

If anyone wants to get LEDs go to superbrightleds.com. I've used them for a few years great service.  All you have to do is put your year make and model in and they tell you what to order. Everything matched up.

So it looks like Google photos will allow you to share an album via a specific link that anyone can see.  If you want to share a specific photo with someone via an image link, I have share with an individual person and not everyone i give the link to.

I prefer to use google photos because it's just easier for me. My photos are automatically uploaded to the google cloud environment.

Can everyone see the photos in the photo album I sent?
