I decided that the halo headlights were too "darkside" for me so I went back to the halogen high output headlights and then found some LED park/turn signal lights on Amazon.


These are too darkside for me

The ones that I didn't like are LED headlights and park and turn LED halos. The LED headlights are not as bright as the high intensity halogens. And the amber halos will not work unless the white halo is on.

That was from LMC, I was ordering a few items and shipping was a lot cheaper than some other places. The main headlight bulb is a halogen.

I ordered 6V halogen headlights last week from Mid-Fifty. I'm hoping they will be an improvement from the regular sealed beam lights I have. I also found 6V 1157 halogen tailight bulbs on Amazon. I'm not sure the halogen headlights from Mid-Fifty are "high intensity". Getting brighter lights is on my winter to do list.

Those should be a big improvement Jim. But you may need to install relays due to the increased current draw. Not a big deal to do but without them your wiring at the connectors may get too hot.

Pete, thanks for the tip on relays. I'm working on wiring, so it's a good time for adding headlight relays.
