Modern Headlights

Calling SlantSixDan.....

These two 2009 quotes are from the slant six forum(which I am not a member) the 2nd quote is from our very own Slant six Dan......

I happened across this article last night while surfing around during my lunch break. I'd like to see them in person before passing any judgement, but it sure seems like it could be a good solution in the future.

Dan, have you heard anything about these? I don't plan to jump ni and buy a pair, but it just piqued my interest.

Yep, I've been following these thru their R&D over the last few years. If you've gotta have LED headlamps because they're cool (which they are), and you can afford $300/ea., then buy these. They perform...legally. They are still outperformed by well-made conventional headlamps, however. A few more years of LED revisions and optic evolution are needed before LED headlamps fulfill the promise of better-than-standard performance with lower-than-standard power consumption.

I stumbled upon these quotes from a search I do every 6 months or so to see how LED headlight technology is advancing, for several years I've been putting off this purchase for my project because I figure eventually a LED headlight will pop up that looks like an OEM muscle car era headlight(no clear lens) work Better than said OEM bulb(better light pattern), wont have to splice a single wire(same plug) and no bucket mods either or empty your wallet to purchase a pair of them AND Get this......actually be DOT Legal.

I know this may be a lot to ask but I'm patient..... well OK my car STILL isn't done so that's why :roll:


So what do you think now that it's 2015?

And IF someone were to use these LED headlights along with a few other LED bulbs in other areas such as taillights Is there an appropriate replacement flasher you would recommend?
