It looks like it only has 4 large leds, look closer and you will notice the refractors distort your image, theres a whole board full of leds!

saw this on trucks... 56(?) chevy (big fender)--hunter green

I think I would rather do the Jeep or Hummer light instead.

You have to find a dealer for them. I know napa sells them but I just checked online and it didn't post a price. If memory serves they are about 45-55 each.

Do they make square ones?

knightowl73 · 03-14-2010, 12:10 PM

hell i knda like the look of the ones in the first pic u posted, but something to fit 88-91 or at least 81-87 prolly be way cooler.

but if you do all led lighting all the way around on anythng wht round headlights, would def make a noticable upgrade.

I heard from my auto teacher that they are trying to illegalize LED headlights because they're too bright, but if you get them before the law, you're exempt from them being illegalized.

The OEM's have been trying to get a workable LED headlight for some time now. The problem is the heat they generate. Not enough heat for the tailights but the headlights have been a problem. I think your teacher was talking about those blue looking lights that are too bright thats why we don't even sell them. The True LED headlight still has not been perfected to have the required candle power. Or at least not last week.

I saw those on trucks also. They are pretty cool, but I'd like to see them in use. $309/ea is a little pricey.

Speedway had some on a car in their booth this week. So I would look for them from them soon. I really didnt like them. They have a kinda funky appearance. Just a little strange for my taste. jay
