[DeTomaso] Headlights

[Charles McCall]

I heard the same thing about Xenon lights a few years ago - putting a xenon
bulb in a reflector made for halogen was not nearly as effective as if the
reflector had been designed for the Xenon. 

(I did it anyway - then found that the kit didn't include high beams, which
is a no-go for our annual safety inspection!)

Hi Jeff,

I was talking to a guy that designs lights not long ago. He told me that the
reflectors are designed for a particular lamp, because they produce the
light differently (how it shined out of the lamp).  He also said that all
LED lamps are very different then the standard lamps we have had for years.
There is no standard for LED lamps yet.

I think there is the same problem with HID lamps made by different
manufactures.

 I already have a nice set of Cibie lights. I contacted this company to
check on the compatibility of their LED bulbs with the Cibie  units. They
e-mailed back that they were compatible and had others using the same. 
They want $159 for just the LEDs or $209 complete units. For as little as I
drive needing the headlights just can't justify the cost.
