LED replacement headlights

[Winnie]

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.

Maybe mine are starting to die but honestly Plassy I hate them. Like Clunk I used to get flashed by oncomings so have then adjusted pretty far down and the result is a dark road ahead.
That being said I used to have HID spotlights which were awesome.

I'll get onto Paul at LED Light Co and see what he can offer.

The issue is that the vehicle didn't come with them from factory so while you can install them they are illegal unfortunately, pretty sure its all in the VSB regs unless Vic has different rules which I doubt.

Yes they are illegal, many many GQs are running around Vic with HID Headlights though. The reasons Winnie stated are bang on the reason people are taking them out now, also they have been getting policed for a few years too. I have been seriously thinking about the JK Jeep units you have posted Winnie for the last couple of years. I have a few mates that run one that Lights got in and it was awesome. Never asked price as I'm a ways away.

Do you know what your mates think of theirs?

OK Just called him. He ran them on a Comp car that did little road work and did Bush and Comp stuff. He said i should run them on my GQ for sure. BUT..

They are Awesome for you as a driver but are pretty glarey for the oncoming like a HID. He reckons they have a more defined beam than a HID so not quite as bad but still hideous. He does not recommend them on a Daily driver or a car that sees a lot of city.

His recommendation was an upgraded sealed beam. Something like an 80/120 with a super loom upgrade will be the best option for a daily GQ.

They should be okay for my GQ then which is only driven on roads at night about twice a year.

Finally got to drive the patrol with the new led globes instead of the hid globes. First impression is the light is whiter but does not throw as far as the hid globes did, both in the same 7" hella inserts. Will be interested in how they come upon dark wet roads and what life I get out of them. Could be a stepping stone to the led inserts.

Unfortunately Vic-Roads believe that 3M contract & reflectivity is greater than our 20/20 eyeballs! I personally can't see shit with LED's and are now finding a way to power up old school voltage sucker brown light, lol :-)

You will get excellent results with a piranha headlight loom kit and some fat max of Philips blue max globes, they run at circa 80w low beam and 100 high. You big alternator will keep the juice up to them nicely. I am running the led globes thru the piranha loom and happy at the moment
