I’ve spent the past couple of hours searching here and surfing the web on LED headlight replacement/conversion. I see the GE Nighthawk 69821 was used by several folks, but they are expensive and no one seems to have them in stock. I think they’ve been on the market for 5+ years, so assume there are competitors. I read on a Mustang forum that the Truck-Lite 27270C is a good alternative for 7” sealed beams. I looked on Spoke’s website, but he doesn’t offer headlights, so I assume there is a good, readily-available product on the market already, or else he would have something.
So, can anybody give me an update on the latest and greatest in LED headlights? Thanks in advance! |

Would really like to move to LED headlights for the safety and efficiency, but don't love the look of modern headlights in vintage cars.
Have been trying to figure out if any of these with "period" lenses are viable. Concerned that the fluting that makes them look nearly stock may be incompatible with LED, and yet here they are for sale—and I definitely prefer their appearance over some of the truck lights. https://vintagecarleds.com Curious for others' thoughts… |

...but don't love the look of modern headlights in vintage cars. You drivin' around during the day with your headlights up where others can see them...? Or you don't like the pattern of light that others can see at night...? Or it just bothers you knowing it's there even though no one can see it...? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Honestly, if it's the vintage-look thing, then we should all be driving around with the original seamed-beam incandescent lights. Because that's all they came with originally here in the USA. |
