D-a-n-i-e-l Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Finally came across a decent priced LED head lamp replacement. Still have to adjust the angle but the beam pattern is close to a normal sealed beam, but the light color and intensity is much better and closer to newer cars. All in all much safer to drive.

KDirk Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Daniel,Any details (price, vendor, etc.)? I may be interested in doing this as both 88's could use new headlights and I like the idea of lowering the load as well as the improved light output. Was about to put silverstars in but may wait now.KDirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PontiacDude210 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I would like info too. I have projectors on my 90 and I hate them. Are these sealed in the back? My big problem with my projectors is they leak around the wiring clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-a-n-i-e-l Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 They are sealed. They are still a little pricey but much better than the $500-$800 I had been seeing.http://www.ebay.com/itm/111422523771?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnemac Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The LEDs for the license plate (t10's which are so much cheaper than the stock bulbs) and ones to replace the fog lamps really compliment the Reatta and give it a clean modern look.

KDirk Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Not bad. Compared to the GE nighthawk lamps and the Phillips both at over $500/pair. I do wonder about the beam patnter and cutoff though. The GE and Phillips seem designed to account for that, where these are an array of front facing LED elements with individual parabolas. At first glance, it looks like it would throw a fairly "tall" beam, possibly irritating oncoming traffic.Daniel, have you run these yet and had any feedback? I'm curious how they are perceived at a distance by oncoming drivers versus just doing an aim check against a wall or garage door. Are they officially legal for on-road use? A lot of this new bleeding edge auto lighting is grey-area, in that the small print states for-off road use only.KDirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
