We also have a lifetime warranty on all of our headlight kits we sell. If you look at our VC4000 bulb, you will notice the LEDs on it are arranged just like the filaments in a standard halogen, which give our bulbs/lenses paired together a fantastic beam pattern.

Member No.: 14,731 Region Association: North East States	I have "E" code lamps on all my old cars so I am pretty invested in the lamps. I am looking for an LED replacement for stock H1, H3, H4 bulbs to replace my uprated halogens. I did not see a bulb only option or your site. Do you have a bulb only option? thx Mike QUOTE(thomas@vintagecarleds.com @ Jun 3 2016, 08:30 AM) Hi guys, If you have any questions about our products, you can call or email us anytime. thomas@vintagecarleds.com 713-882-0721 Our VC4000 LED headlight kit uses a 100% glass DOT lens (no yellowing), with a LED bulb, and passive heatsink.

Do you have a bulb only option? thx Mike Mike- We generally do not sell bulbs only. However if you email me, I can send you a PayPal quote for a set of our VC4000 style LED H4 bulbs only, which includes a lifetime warranty. thomas@vintagecarleds.com Here is a photo of a customer with 7" Hella E-code lenses and our VC4000 bulbs in them.
