I purchased knock off ones from Amazon. Have them in 2 trucks. Got all 4 for around $180. Let me see if I can go back and find the ones. It’s been years so will take a bit. They are amazing and when I first installed them I felt like train lights. Etched into the glass says DOT approved and I like that.
Edit: here’s what I used. Purchased 2019 still going strong. $140

Peterbilt headlights upgrade to something better?

Boy - there’s a lot of knock offs out there now!
I went Truck-lite LED. The spectrum is very close to daylight, so, they don’t blind like other lights do.
Lost 1 to a rock, cracked lens. One other has developed condensation. Not bad for 3 years. They have heated now.
Far superior to originals, clean cut off lines. I don’t get flashed from annoying anyone, because I actually care about other drivers eyeballs.
RedForeman, Last Call, Bret1984 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Yeah I like the cut off. I park truck on level ground, walk out like 50 feet and measure where it is on my shirt so both lights are same height and won’t blind other drivers. Having them pointed up hurts your visibility anyway since your lighting the air not the pavement.blairandgretchen Thanks this.

Can you post a pic? I hate the look of LED headlights in older trucks.cke Thanks this.

DOT around here checks for the DOT mark on the lights around here.
Bret1984 Thanks this. -
Here is a good comparison. The outer low beams were swapped with the Hella housings and the highbeam is still the sealed beams. Other than the glass pattern being slightly different the appearance isn't real noticeable. They're a bit brighter with the 9003 bulbs.

Why? Other drivers don't care about my eyeballs.
