Re: [DeTomaso] Headlights - Stock replacement options?
I wouldn't expect power draw to drop much for a given amount of light. Efficiency is what it is for a LED.

From what I've seen there are many drop in replacements for the standard 7" round sealed beam lights that used to be ubiquitous. For some reason Jeeps are always the target market, Vortex also only mentions the Jeep application by name: http://www.visionxusa.com/shop/7-vortex-led-headlight/
At the ~$50 price point, many different sellers on eBay appear to be selling the same offshore units, some have many LED's within the seven inch circle, others have 3-4 larger LED's.

Brent,
Bill Moore replaced his with some LED drop in units and I have to say they gave out an exceptional amount of light.
I cannot recall the brand and he's on the PNW cruise this week and I'm not sure if he is monitoring the list, so I copied him direct.
Julian

.Howdy all,.Just getting ready for the Ironstone Concours coming up in a few weeks, and I'd like to update the old headlights so I can drive at night. I have the stock round ones, and would like to get something that is a little more modern and brighter..I put these Halogens in my 240Z and they seem to work great:.http://www.blackdragonauto.com/Features/Z/ZEL1.htm .Any reason they wouldn't fit the P-car?

An odd thing to say, given LED's are the big thing in home power consumption reduction ... they don't generate the waste heat of an incandescent. I'm guessing inefficient power regulation in the cheaper LED headlights is why they take more power than the pricey ones. But gotta wonder just how much better is a $400+ LED headlight vs. a $50 LED headlight ? $700 buys a lot of replacement generators.

Guido, I spoke to a man who works for a large light producing company. He told me that the way LED replacement lamps make light is differently then the stock lamps. He said the reflector needs to be designed for the LED lamps.

From what I've seen there are many drop in replacements for the standard 7" round sealed beam lights that used to be ubiquitous. For some reason Jeeps are always the target market, Vortex also only mentions the Jeep application by name: http://www.visionxusa.com/shop/7-vortex-led-headlight/ At the ~$50 price point, many different sellers on eBay appear to be selling

Brent,
Bill Moore replaced his with some LED drop in units and I have to say they gave out an exceptional amount of light.
I cannot recall the brand and he's on the PNW cruise this week and I'm not sure if he is monitoring the list, so I copied him
But gotta wonder just how much better is a $400+ LED headlight vs. a $50 LED headlight ? Good question. Quite a bit better, actually. I'm not an expert, but I do some property management and over the years I've seen how LED lighting has improved. The cheaper ones tend to have many of the tiny LED's daisy-chained together. These are nice and bright but haven't really stood up to commercial use over time. One by one the little suckers burn out. Recently LED tech has advanced and now there are larger singular LED's that look more like a microchip than any conventional LED bulb array. I just put one over my garage door and it is super bright and draws next to nothing in power compared to the incandescent floods. I'd imagine that the more expensive LED headlights use these new "microchip" type emitters that work so well. As to their longevity, I cannot say. Time will tell.
