Anyone running LED headlights?

what brand and how much is that thing? no prob with the law huh?
I know those things are super bright

 

Bought it off of E-bay from somebody in AZ that sells them for around $500 a couple of years ago. It is 44" long LED light bar with 80 - 3 watt LEDs. Do a search on E-bay and you should find several.

Been DOT inspected a couple of times with no problem. Just don't act like a fool and blind everybody with it and you should have no problem.

 

How about the nimrods with their fog lights on all the time too?

 

You want projectors, not reflectors. Most of the modern reflectors create glare IMHO. My HID projectors have the straight horizontal cutoff line which I aim just below the side view mirror of your average passenger car. Same height as regular van trailer floor.

I've had the same as those Starr HID for over 10 years and the only drawback is Xenon bulbs will lose brightness over the years.

 

I wouldn't go to Iowa 80 for em, your local Pete or KW dealer should sell United Pacific brand stuff. I run their crystal style headlights on my Pete 378 and they are BRIGHT. They've got a couple styles of em some have little LED position they call em. They also sell LED headlights but I have no experience with em.

 

I ran a test set for trucklite . They are what you are seeing in the Penske cascadias . Love them ! They took the test ones back , and gave a production set! Only iced up once where they got dim. If running in that hard freezing rain , you going to have to stop and clear the wipers , wipe the head lights off. All told ran two years between the two sets. Should last 12 years?

 

I am thinking Rain-X or a real good wax on LED headlights could prevent most ice and snow from building up on them.

 

So with all of these fancy HID kits you all are discussing. What exactly do you do when a ballast burns out? In the middle of nowhere. I dunno I'll just keep good ole Halogens laying around.

 

Yea and then the idiot 4 wheelers that don't want to kill their brights will litter ally be "blinded by the light". If a herd bumper goes on my right. 6 8" KC pods are going on it as well...that's...5.4 MILLION candle power staring somebody in the face with the KC pods alone. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. I can remember when k had 800,000 candle power on the roof of my truck...nobody really decided they were going to play bright games with me when I kicked them puppies on.
