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! |

Anyone have trouble with LED headlights icing up? Put a set on my wife's Jeep thinking I'd do the same to my 914. But, first day we had some snow a few weeks ago the snow piled up and blocked the headlights. This made them pretty much useless.
I ordered and installed a set of Hella H4's. Only warm to the touch, but is that the key to stopping ice or snow from building up on headlights? Just that little bit of warmth? |

It looks like they sell heated LED headlights, if that is a concern. They aren't cheap. I doubt I will ever drive my 914 in the snow at night, though, so I'll pass on the heated versions. https://www.4statetrucks.com/lighting/semi-...-xoC1yMQAvD_BwE |
