    LED Headlights?

    These have the H4 connector: You would have to either cut the wiring on the fixture and install packard plugs, or you could build short Faston to Packard adapters so nothing gets cut. [EDIT:] For simplicity/ease you can buy a pre-terminated H4 repair socket (like these) and just put the...

    LED Headlights?

    Digging up an old thread - Grote and Maxxima have thrown their hats into the LED headlight ring. About the price of Truklite's solution (and 1/2 the price of J.W. Speaker). I haven't seen any reviews of these yet, but it's interesting to see another potential option out there. [thumbzup]...

    LED Headlights?

    I like J.W. Speaker lights - twice what TruckLites go for, but IMHO a better beam pattern, better look, and they have a little internal fan that helps melt the ice off the lens (stirs the warm air inside the housing). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygvYo7Zjq1M Oshkosh has been showing their...
