G-Wagon LED Headlights in 10 Minutes

[artiei]

I tried HID, they were to complicated and there was too much to rewire. I tried a new housing, it looked strange and the light was not that much better. In the end, I ordered some $75 LED H4 Bulbs and they work great.

Took me more time to blog about it then to install the bulbs. LEDs BABY!

Interesting, what are they like from the front, on low beam are they any more obtrusive than normal headlights to oncoming traffic.

They look about the same, only whiter. On low beam the upper part of the headlight is illuminated and the beam points down. Properly adjusted, they are not any more obtrusive than the halogen lights. An observation:

A friend said he was not going to go to LEDs because he said the heat from the halogen melts the snow. While the LED lights are not as HOT they are plenty warm I just drove my car in a 10 degree snowstorm and lights were warm enough to keep the lights clear.

As you can see from the photo we get a LOT of snow.

Thanks for the update, I wonder how they would go out here in the Middle East where over summer our night time temps are 35-39 deg C for a couple of months.

Not much in the way of snow out here.

I drive through Death Valley once a year where temps are similar. I'll have to see how they work. 39 at night - that is CRAZY!
