Halo Headlight, Topic discussion Options

[Joe average13]

Hello. Curious of opinions for these headlights, does anyone have halo lights installed? Thanks

I like the idea of LED headlights a lot, even as little as I drive my 914 at night.

Deal-breaker for me is something that is obviously period incorrect. Still watching this space to find the right mix of an LED replacement that looks more or less like an H4 or generic sealed-beam headlight from the 1970s. Simple fluting, high performance.

If all I cared about was performance—or still drove my car on the back roads a lot at night like I did 10-20~ years ago—I'd be all over the Nighthawks.

I waste a lot of time looking at LED headlights online and the closest of the GOOD headlights I've seen to period correct are some United Pacific 31400 units that sell under a few different brand names.

Not perfect but a little closer than the Nighthawks and I actually like the pattern better. Here's a review of them.

The problem with buying LED is there is a lot of snake oil out there. I've seen some LED units that look period correct, but not DOT approved and usually have really crappy beam patterns that either don't use the light efficiently or would blind oncoming drivers. I get the idea it is hard to aim LED lights using more conventional lens designs.
