H4 Headlight Conversion.. LED bulbs?

[nk14zp]

Stock headlights are about 3 candle power on low and 4 on high.

I found the SAE spec on a law firm page, for 9004 (SAE "U.S.A." H4 equivalent) it's 800 lumens low, and 1316 lumens high. To my recollection that sounds right - and if you look at JW Speaker's page they talk about "effective lumens" in that range...

The LED armor light conversion I'm doing for the XM1027 has a 500w/55,000lumen LED... A sherrif's helicopter spot light (NightSun) is 75,000 lumens when new - I think there is somethin off about the numbers you found for the headlights...

Yeah I knew it was definitely wrong. That was what was listed for the Wagner sealed beam incandescent bulbs that I was looking at (same as I had on my truck before I removed them.) Obviously the seller put the wrong amount on there, or he used the wrong unit of measurement.

Summit racing has the Grote leds for 186.

Often overlooked in freezing environments is the lack of
heat associated w/ LED's. Start driving down the road
w/ an LED in a snowstorm and you will soon be
trying to engineer in some headlight wiper blades,
as the snow and ice stick to and build up on the lens.



These leds get super hot i think the snow would melt off but i didnt think of that living in cali lol]

Ok I'm going to do this soon but I live in the cold snowy regions of the world. Any idea if a solid LED bank has the capability to not freeze over in a snowstorm?
