    LED replacement headlights

    Hey guys, I've finally had enough of my HID headlight globes. I had never been a fan of them but have always had an LED light bar as well so wasn't too fussed. I have just removed the light bar and now night driving is hard work, I can't bloody see!
    From my research there seem to be two types of LED headlight replacements. One just looks like a bunch of LEDs and the other which looks like a better design has reflectors. Looks aren't everything though, has anybody had any experience in these?

    I can't say for the ones you have listed but Speaker are probably the best in these sorts of lights.

    Yeah, unfortunately I'm looking at about a max of $200 although I know the JW Speaker are the best out there.

    So the blurb says they are eve compliant which means they meet Aust regs but are they a legal VicRoads sanctioned upgrade? Also, how expensive is expensive- can't see a price?

    The Speakers are around $800
    From what I have read they are not legal to install on a GQ Patrol.

    Dunno why it would be for GQ and not for any other road vehicle. Its just a 7inch round light that universally fits into any 7inch cradle. I seen them on a customers Cab over Kenworth. He reckons the light output is stunning.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Has the HID balloon popped? I thought you were meant to be able to see a k up the road, or maybe that was for spotties.

    I've never been tempted into the HID's only because I do so little night driving it's not worth it, and what little I do OE does me OK. Just asking.

    What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

    Mine had HIDs when I bought it, lasted a few months before I removed them and stuck New lenses with halogens back in...... Couldn't deal with the colour and the fact I had to adjust them down so I wouldn't blind anyone, was pointless having them then, couldn't see shizen
