Searching for L E D headlight Hack?
 

There was a thread on the 67-72 build forum that I have tried
many different search words for.
And I cannot find it again.

So I decided to post a Question
About what the member done.

Has anyone removed the tabs on a sealed beam headlight,
and Then installed the small Led pigtail lights.

What I am looking to do is,
Put 4 little Led's in a mower that I seldom use the lights but I want them to work if I need them.
Here's pics of the lights.

Thanks in advance for your help.

could you not just splice the led pigtail into your existing harness? or use blade connectors on the led pigtail and plug them into the existing plug?

I am trying to use these sealed beams in pics.
and install 4 small LED bulbs where the terminals are.
The seal beams are melting the plastic on the hood.:lol:;)

I think I understand ..maybe...your wanting to remove the filaments from the sealed beam and stick led inside the sealed beam bulbs?

Re: Searching for L E D headlight Hack?
 

Yeah.
Something like in the picture below is what the member used.

I gotcha now...not sure how youd do that ,I searched and saw a video where they put the bulb in a oven and separated the 2 halves but that's about it..
how bright would they be with 4 leds in them?
me..id just replace the whole glass bulb with some led bulbs..

Re: Searching for L E D headlight Hack?
 

That's probably what will happen in the end.
Yeah I seen that video of separating the two halves :lol:
That would cause a Lot of issues with the (better Half) if I put these in the oven:lol:
I will probably go with the Led (fog light type) about that size.
I just thought it would be cool:ito: to keep the sealed beam.
I don't need much light /as I will not use it after dark much.
I just want something so there is no blank space.

What size sealed beam is that? If you search they may make an entire LED that replaces that and fits where the old one did. I run them in my S10, and lots of people use the 7" ones in Jeeps.


Edit: Looks like 4.5" tractor type???

Yes they are 4.5" on a Cub Cadet lawn-tractor.
That is a better way to do this,
Thanks for the link.
I will order some of those install and be lit up:lol:

Thanks again.

The ones in the link are warm white, which would be a color similar to your current lights. For a brighter white you'd want natural or cool white. I saw they had those, but were out of stock temporarily. I'm sure other sites may have something very similar possibly in a brighter white color. :metal:

Glad I could help.
