    LED Headlights

    Looking for suggestions for H4 LED headlight bulbs, high and low beam. Positive or negative feedback appreciated. Thanks

    IIRC, dmcnw Toby is offering a led headlights conversion...

    They aren't cheap, but they look stock:

    As far as I'm aware these are the best LED headlights available.

    Does anyone have the electrical current numbers those LED headlights draw?

    DPNW LED headlights

    I recently installed a set of DPNW LED headlights after reading about them on the forum, and they are superb. I consider modern lighting an important safety item for our cars, so I think the DPNW units well worth their (admittedly high) expense. Given the longevity of most LED bulbs, the cost per year shouldn't be too bad.

    I had a set of these installed back in January and they made a tremendous difference. I actually think I can see better at night out of the DeLorean now, than I can my F150. Once of the best parts about these is that everything looks stock.

    I'm wondering that myself. Not just for the burden on the electrical system (which I am sure is less than halogens), but to get an idea of how hot these units run. I've found that when many of these LED units get up there in lumen output, they start requiring external heat sinks. Some of the bulbs, not all but some, have integrated DC cooling fans on the rear section of the bulb assembly. As a desert car that runs into the occasional dust storm, I don't need silt gumming up the blades and bearings to cause a premature failure.

    With a color temperature of 5,000K, you should be ok. Although there is no listing of what the lumens are.

    5K is the max I'd go with for any bulb on color temperature (save for fog lights which I prefer the yellow 2,500K in bad weather and to see animal eyes). Once you start getting a blue tint to your headlights, that's when you begin to decrease your vision.

    Kensun sells H4 LED bulbs. I have the HIDs in mine.

    EDIT: you will need some different headlight housings though and I can't vouch for the quality of those.

    Good thing is I got four housings for free from a buddy who owns a body shop so all I needed was the bulbs. Bought some on amazon today. I'll post the results on Sunday
