Replacement 7" round LED headlights

[Bob Hess]

Has anyone tried the Sylvania or GE LED headlight replacements. They are very expensive compared to halogen lights so.......are they worth over $400.00 a pair? Do they look weird? Can you see a lot better? Any specific recommendations? I live out in the country and more light in the early morning could be a welcome change from what I have now. Thanks in advance for your input.

I used these. Installed in 45 minutes with no problems, direct plug-in. Great improvement in visibility.

g8rnbft,

Those should be a hit with those of us with lots of miles on our eyes. Gonna do some checking to see if I have adequate clearance. Thanks.

g8rnbft,
Thanks for the link. I saved it and I'll be looking to these or something like them next year.

Have you looked into an HID upgrade to run Xenon bulbs?
They come in different intensities which have different hues
to the light they produce, but there are some excellent white
range options. Maybe compare the light patterns between your
LED/HID options to see which will give you the brightest results.

Good luck,
Mike.

Thinking of converting to HID?

"So you've read about HID headlamps and have it in mind to convert your car. A few mouse clicks on the web, and you've found a couple of outfits offering to sell you a "conversion" that will fit any car with a given type of halogen bulb. STOP! Put away that credit card. HID headlamps are terrific, and they can offer significant and substantial safety performance advantages over halogen headlamps, but only if they're designed and built as HID headlamps from the start. Installing an "HID kit" in a halogen headlamp isn't an upgrade, it's a large and serious safety downgrade."
