What's in your headlight housing? 900

Hi Bulletproof,

What car are do you have?

You should be looking at a dual beam headlight for RWD.
9003 or 9004 and the the e-code has a different connector than DOT lamp.
But otherwise they are identical and fit into the same housing.

Yes many early LEDs were big, plus they had bulky driver modules built into the
harness and it was a hassle to fit in the Volvo housing. Some would not fit at all. Now is different, the manufacturers make the LEDs the same size and the go in without any headaches.

I had good luck with the old 50 watt Lasfit set, but sent the 60 watt set back.
Lasfit is a good company in that their specs are better than most.
As time goes on and new LED chips deliver more luminous flux per watt,
the older LED packages are less desirable.
I don't know anything about that 70 Watt Lasfit.

The price of LEDs has dropped a lot, every year, and the performance has
continually improved. There's some new LEDs that are very high priced when they are first released. After a year or so you can get them way cheaper.

I see the high end halogens are very pricey, and I found that they also have very short life expectancy, especially if your voltage regulator goes high.

The better LEDs have long life, more light, less heat. The newest LEDs
deliver more light per watt, making earlier LED chips obsolete.
Unfortunately the salesmen don't provide much engineering data.

The Brickboard server has been very unpredictable lately and very browser
restrictive. Leave an email link, and I'll try to help you if Brickboard
continues to gag.

You'll be a happy camper once you get a decent set of LED headlights.
Halogens are obsolete.

Bill
