Group Buy on LED Headlights, from VintageCarLEDs.com Options

Folks,

A couple of weeks ago, I started looking for some LED headlights. There are a lot on eBay - some with different lenses, some with very funky lenses, and some that are just bulbs.

I have Hella H4s in my -6 and wanted to stay with a stock look yet upgrade my headlights to the same Kelvin color range as the Euro LED turn signal package I got from Spoke a while back (very nice, BTW). I wanted the white of the headlights to match the running lights in the bottom of the front markers. A color of about 6000K was what I was looking for.

After some research and reading some on the board here, I contacted VintagecarLEDs.com and told Thomas what I was looking for. Since I had the H4s with the glass lenses (and I really wanted to stay with them), he suggested that I look at his VC4000s and that if those sounded like what I wanted, he could sell me just the bulbs. Sounded good so I ordered a set.

They shipped quickly and I got them installed before my trip up to the Okteenerfest. They went in easy (not any more than changing an H4 bulb besides the mounting of the small black box with the electronics) and plugged into the stock headlight wiring so no "difficult to undo" mod required. Additionally, the bulbs have an adjustable ring that changes the orientation of the bulb in the housing so when I was installing mine, I looked carefully at the stock H4 bulb and noted the orientation of the bulb element to the three -prong mounting ring that goes into the back of the housing. I then loosened the tiny allen set screw and adjusted the LED bulb to a similar "1 o'clock" position and installed them. The resulting beam had the same pattern as with the original bulbs - no need to even adjust the headlights.



Wow, what a difference. I agree with others on the board here. They work great and really improve night vision as well as lessening the load on the electrical system. I had several guys at Okteenerfest ask me about them so I contacted Thomas and he graciously agreed to offer 10% discount to all 914World member who order from 9/30/16 - 10/14/16. If you want to take advantage, just go to

Guys, I have to say that I am a bit disappointed with how this thread has gone. I have read the posts several times and tried not to read too much into the comments and direction but my opinion of the direction hasn't changed. I'm a bit embarrassed by the reception Thomas has received. It is seldom that a vendor offers a GB and then has the thread high-jacked and picked apart so completely.

I started the thread as a response to folks who had seen them in my car. I am very happy with them. If you choose to go a different route, good for you. If you want more info, ask politely. If it can be provided, say thanks. If not, then take that into account as you make your decision.

There have been a number of threads comparing the brands of LED lights so this thread was not intended to be a rehash of that. Simply info about one of the options available.

Good grief.

Looked at my volt gauge tonight with my stereo, heater, fogs and H-4s on and didn't like being on the minus side of 12. Turned off my H-4s and my volt gauge jumped back to normal. Already running some LEDs, l am going to call Thomas tomorrow and place my order.
