Which aftermarket LED headlights?

[RMSLighting]

Is that the case with the Gen2 kit too?

No. The Gen2 has a totally different lens.

Max has a set of Bangin Headlights and they work quite well as they are projector lights.
They have the glass lense and that was what Max was after for the set in his '49 truck.
He just told me to talk to George.

George may also do a group buy as he is a small business that builds these out of his garage in Australia.

They look correct and shine bright on the road.
I will be putting these into all of the classic rides when it is time to do so.

I'll give another vote for Bangin Headlights. I've had a talk with George a couple of times to try and get him to make the 89 quad lights, but no luck on that one yet. At the moment its just the more common 7" and 5.75" rounds and 4x6" rectangle lights he makes.

I just ordered the Gen2 from RMS. Hector responded quickly to my website inquiry and I’m looking forward to refreshing the headlights of my 84 k10.

I just installed these nice and bright LED headlights on my 72 Monte Carlo. They look exactly like my Harley headlight, except for the halo ring.

Ok, now we are going to require that you post a thread for your Monte in the Other Vehicles section! I love the '70-'72 Monte Carlo! And the a$$ end of the '73 too

I got these housings and bulbs for mine. They are great. Bulbs, housings, and adapters are 2 each.

Did you make any changes to your wiring too? I've seen a few that recommend a headlight wiring harness that taps directly into your battery for 12V power and the original switch triggers a relay in the new harness.

I bought a kit like that for my British car project because they believed in hot-switching everything through the panel, and the aftermarket switches available today aren't really that robust anymore.

With LED lights the current draw should be less than originals, so I would think a kit like that isn't really necessary unless your wiring is a bit sketchy to begin with. I may use the kit anyway since I already have it, but I am always keeping an eye out for LED replacement headlights that look correct. I want ones that aren't "60000% brighter" than traditional lights - I don't want to be the person blinding everyone else. I just want correct, safe lighting with minimal current drain.

I went full LED nothing needs spliced or modified they all plug and play into the stock sockets.

Do you have the spec on (or are you equipped to test) the current draw of those LED headlights? They look pretty good and I like the glass lens as opposed to plastic, but Summit doesn't list the actual current draw on them.

I'm a huge fan of the Holley Retrobright LED headlights. You can get them in a warm or cool white color. I've had both and they both deliver a crisp cutoff line and a great fill in front of you. Yes, they're very expensive but it's simple to install and it levels up your night vision to any new car's.

I did, I used the LMC kit. Less than 6 months later one of the relays crapped out. Amazon for the same type and has been good since.

Don't have any specs as far as what they draw and I couldn't test them as I think someone needed my multimeter more than I did as it seems to have walked off.
