i am sure this has been asked before, but i cant find it
thinking of up grading my headlamp bulbs to LED
has anyone done this
how did it go
what globes did you find best
thanks

 

Halogen to LED?

The reflectors are wrong to maximize/focus the increased light output and the heat-sinks on the backs of most LED units require leaving the back covers off of the housings, leaving them open to the environment...

 

My solution...two 3 led bars... bright.. no issues with radiator temp

is that brightness legal in NSW? Can you turn them on without the headlight?

 

These LEDs are legal in NSW. Only turn on with high beam. The contrast with the standard (yellow) lights is always impressive. I remember changing incandesent sealed beams for Halogens back in the 70s and being impressed by the then New tech...

 

Would you mind sharing where you got them? Cheers

 

TJM about 5 years ago. Top 3 bolt to lower 3 and lower to base of intake. I checked underneath for wires , pipes etc.... then in went 2 inch roofing screws.. dont tell anyone. Then the usual wired into HB wire for relay power. The grill bars give a interesting light / shadow effect to the road but only detract about 5% of light. At least I can see where im going....

 

thanks, I will try them
