I wanted LED headlights because they draw less power. I read another members post about "focusing" LED bulbs in a halogen housing. I wasn't too keen on doing that, so I bought some LED sealed beam lights. They don't look too differnt from a stock light. (I didn't want to change the look) The other nice thing about these is there is a LED daytime driving light strip built in. I figured you guys would want to give it a thumbs up or down.

The driving light comes on with the key, but turns off when you turn the headlights. Of course the high beam ones don't turn off until I turn on the high beam. So it kind of looks funny with just the low beams on.

Sounds cool, but they look the same in all of the pics...

Yea, I can't latch the headlights right now. But when they are on, they look pretty normal. You can't really see the thin line. In the pics, that thin line does not look as bright as in real life. It's like a lightning bolt across there.

I don't have the model numbers handy right now and I'm not at home. But they came from Raney truck parts. If you google their site and search for 4 by 6 rectangular LED's, you should find them. You can order them with yellow daytime running lights. (Mine are white)

The only issue I might tell you is when I first called, they did not stock the high beam. I waited till they had all in stock because these days you just never know how long it might be. They ended up coming from two differnt locations. They plug in to the standard sockets, but you need to run a seperate line for the running lights.

Going through their catalogue I'm guessing they're these ones (https://www.raneystruckparts.com/high-power-led-4-x-6-rectangular-headlight-daytime-running-light/), product code UPI31153, priced at $129.95 for the white ones and $134.95 for the amber ones. They have a few other styles (https://www.raneystruckparts.com/rectangular-headlights/#/?Attributelabel=Headlights&Shape=Rectangular&Size=6x4&search_return=all&Lighttype=LED) of 4x6 LED headlights available too.

Are those lenses glass or plastic?

I'm pretty sure they are plastic. (Not really happy about that) But they are very solid built.

Here is my car with Holley Retro Bright headlights - I posted a link in the other LED headlight thread. Theses are by far the best option for correct light pattern, lumens, and period correct look. Headlight Revolution tested them against numerous other Chinese brands and beat them all. (JW speakers also high rated) I drive my car all the time and a lot at night. They are fantastic!

Are they glass? Car looks great by the way.

SW FL, close to Lakeland by any chance.

Curious what the running temp is of these. Do you have an IR heat gun you can test the bulb and facia temp after 10 min of running?

I answered my own question:

Looks like a good 40-50 degree in heat reduction. Expensive, but I'm going to order a set.
