    Dude, I bought those headlights. They filled up with water after the first rainstorm/ tropical storm that hit here in Fl. I dried them out and realized the LED lightbulbs have vents in the back with the fan. When the lights are closed water flows between the gap between the headlight door and hood. Easy fix, glue a flat rubber flap under the headlight door.

    If you turn your headlights on then unplug the top plug of the headlight module (next to fuse box under hood) then turn off the headlights, they will stay up. Second if you solder the new wires then when you replace the headlight motors (if you haven’t replaced the gear with a brass gear ⚙️) your doing all of that work over again. Besides that, I’m placing my order pdq. If you want a housings I have extras.

  • @ryanlaw7474
    @ryanlaw7474 3 года назад +2

    I was changing the sealed beams to regular bulbs in the 90’s when I was building S-10’s and Blazers. The halogens were so much better than the sealed back then. Would have been nice to have LED’s.

  • @jonadkins9339
    @jonadkins9339 3 года назад +3

    LEDs never go in halogen housings. The cut off is bad and you just end up blinding other drivers. A good halogen will be easier on on coming traffic and would end up being brighter. If you want LEDs do it right and get projectors.

    For getting the headlights up, turn the lights on, and then pull the relay. I think relay. Maybe a fuse. It's in the engine compartment fuse block. It's been a while since I changed the lights on mine.
    And, when the motor breaks, get the metal gear kit from eBay. It's a common problem. I've done a few of them over the years. It's a lot better than just swapping the headlight motors.

    Public Service Announcement:
    The LEDs shown here are not necessarily representative of what you will receive in the kit. You will Likely be required to modify your housings/brackets with an angle-grinder/dremel. It's a significant blow to an otherwise impressive product.
    The custom headlight housings themselves are a beautiful blend of stock aesthetics with modern functionality.
    Overall: 4/5 stars

    The problem with LED lights in vehicles, are they can be triggers for people with Epilepsy. For this reason, I don't drive at night. Luckily, I live out in the middle of BFE in the desert of southeastern AZ, and don't live in a city. I live in a town of 400 people. The largest town with a Walmart is a 90 mile round trip. Lights look nice, light things up better, but is not good for those of us that have seizures.

    Only flip up low beams, the white side marker lights, and the yellow fog lights at the bottom of the bumper.
