Another LED solution, ...seen on TheSamba Options

[ThePaintedMan]

$209 for the pair? Sounds too good to be true. Anyone have any experience with these?

I'm just a little jaded... Someone must have clued them on to this thread and they
joined to reply and tell how great the product is and sell it.....

Since I joined here years ago and never attempted to make a dime off anyone..
Just makes me wonder ???


Maybe it is just me ???? I apologize if this is out of line or not P.C.

I can understand that.

I noticed some website traffic coming from this forum, and saw people had questions I thought I would answer them.

You could read some reviews from our Classic-aircooled customers and how their experience was.

Thomas, you're all good. I think most of us welcome vendor input, especially on an item we haven't seen/touched in person yet. I posted it because many of us are looking for a good LED option, and having a smaller vendor that we can rely on is important. The GE Nighthawks, etc are nice, but I'd gladly buy stuff from someone like you if it meant solid, dependable customer service like our other vendors (Tangerine Racing, PMB Performance, 914Rubber, etc). If you can live up to that, you'll be welcomed here with open arms I'm sure.

Any chance you'd be willing to send a pair of them to one of us so we can test fit in a 914? Our cars are pop-up lights, so the total depth of the light units eliminates many aftermarket solutions. For reference, the mounting depth of the light is even shorter than that of a Miata, so it's gotta be fairly compact.

Thanks for your input and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) !

I could send you one of our VC2800 headlamps (fairly compact, with a internal heatsink (vs external) and one of our VC4000 lamps (our best of the best)

I have a feeling the VC4000 MAY be a bit too large with the external heatsink.

Shoot me over an email - thomas@vintagecarleds.com

Can you expand on the bulbs mentioned? I see the 4000 seems to have a pigtail and external electronic unit. These are often tough to locate for up and down light application, where as a straight H4 like shown on the 2800 can use a traditional "flat plug" with leads zip tied out of the way. If LEDs run cooler that HIDs etc, why all the need for heat sinks? Is it a by product of the power conversion etc?

Yes, I was thinking the VC2800 would fit yall's headlight buckets much better, LEDs do run cooler than HID's buthigh power leds still generate heat which needs to be dissipated by the aluminum heat-sink.
