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! |

These are the headlights I installed on my ‘73 1.7 a couple nights ago. They’re certainly a cleaner, brighter beam. OEM fog lights seem to work just fine, though they look pretty dingy compared to the LED’s. They were a simple “plug and play” with no rear clearance problems or “bulging” in the front. Manufacturer quality control isn’t the best. When adjusted the best I could, the left low beam was slightly higher than the right, but on high beam, it was slightly lower?? They’re just fine for my daily driver, but when I replace the headlights on the Creamsicle and the Six I’ll likely go for a more authentic look and pay much more too!
