Patrick1922 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I've been doing research to find the best route to go in relation to swapping out my current headlights for an LED alternative. For the most part, people have recounted horror stories. Does anyone have any suggestions/personal success stories regarding LED headlights? I have a 1984 18ft. Sunrader.

Back East Don Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 No experience but I question what the advantage would be. The original are not what you call piercingly bright, I get that. There were some questionable adapter lenses that use a more modern quartz lamp but reviews were all over the place. I found just changing them out every few years or so helped as they dim over time. What are the chances of getting something well engineered for a shrinking market such as these old lamp styles would be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 At this time your best bet is a set of H-4 conversions AND a set of proper driving lights. Quality counts a bunch stick to good stuff and avoid the W-Mart stuff. These guys have bang for the buck stuff and very best. http://classicgarage.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Led head lamps lack a lot some of the very expensive cars/trucks got very poor ratings. If you want a lot of light E spec replacement lamps using H4 bulbs. http://www.rallylights.com/hella-165mm-rectangular-ece-hi-lo-h4-conversion-headlamp-kit-h6545.html and these, they are DOT legal bulbs but if you try you can find off road H4's with higher wattage. http://www.rallylights.com/h4-9003-hb2-philips-x-treme-vision-xenon-100-bulbs-pair.html. I had this set up in my 97 Tacoma with 100 watt bulbs and if you want light this is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5Toyota Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 even the stock seal beams are not all created the same . the cheap low price ones have a 35 watt low beam and 55 watt high beam. I run the xtravision heavy duty reinforced element type .the low beam is 55 watts and the high beam is 65 watts. and they are way way better .

Lee & Joan Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I have been real happy with these HID lights in 55 watt 5000K, you have to get lampholders for the bulbs at extra cost, these are vivid !!! I have them on my motorcycle (off road gets beat to death), toyota pickup & Sunrader MH http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DDM-HID-Kit-Slim-Ballast-35W-or-55W look for the H4 (high low beam) bulb (extra $20) in 55 watt (extra $10) in 5000 K (pure White) then ask the staff for the sealed beam replacement holders, i think they were $20 each, about $110 or so total package. They don't go dull with time, they will take off road pounding for years on my dirt bike, and they bring my 65 year old eyes back to about when I was 40.
