This seems too good to be true. If the seller had a higher rating I might consider it.

This is bulbs and electronics for later cars that have a reflectors already installed*. The H4 conversion for our cars is both bulbs and the reflector that replaces the sealed-beam bulbs that came with the cars.
I've run mine since 1999, but with the lower wattage bulbs. Running brighter bulbs requires relays and larger wires as well. The H-4 kit by Hella that a lot of folks install is actually one for motorcycles. I put one in my Norton after upgrading the alternator/regulator to 12 volts. In both that machine, the 914, and my '84 Carrera it's made a huge difference even with the lower wattage bulbs. ~Ron** * Not that you couldn't install this package and make it work... but fans? Really. I like simple. If they really need fans then they're likely too f*&^^E bright. And you'd have to replace the wiring anyway. ** I'm not an expert... but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night... oh yes. |

QUOTE(pcar916 @ Dec 7 2013, 03:18 PM)  ... but fans? Really. Contrary to marketing of lower power for LEDs, these circuits do burn significant power and in very small areas. Heat sinks and fans are a sign that this system burns some power and generates some heat. |
