7" round l.e.d. Headlights now availible - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLE 'BURBAN · 01-08-2010, 03:13 AM

While doing a search for L.E.D.'s, I stumbled upon this new item from TRUCK-LITE....

7"round l.e.d. headlights

Just wonder how much longer until they release them for the large rectangular & small round/rectangular. I'd like to get the large rectangular ones myself.
IF THEY'RE AFFORDABLE THAT IS....

tapeworm · 01-08-2010, 03:25 AM

After installing about 60 LED lights on trucks at work, I found out the white LEDS are wayy more expensive than the red & amber. The higher end Trucklite or Grote 4" backup lamps are around $100ea

I couldn't inagine what these headlamps would run

However, remember this... I bet just about all the lights on cars will be LED in 10 years or now.

Sorry, I guess my mind wandered a little bit....

No price listed, so I guess the old saying applies, "If you have to ask........"

Big Port Jimmy 6 · 01-08-2010, 06:27 AM

Its gonna be quite a while before I could afford these.

Ouch!

Maybe they come attached to a really nice 73-74 NOS grill. LOL

Thanks for doing the leg work (price).

*Stitch* · 01-08-2010, 09:54 PM

I'm sorry, but those look like a bag of smashed a$$...I don't see why you would pay $3 let alone $300 for something like that...

uuuuuuuuuuuugly

andrewmp6 · 01-09-2010, 04:13 AM

I will stick with my German OSRAM Silverstar elements in the Hella DOT housings.

You can fly to Germany and get your own european spec OSRAM Silverstar bulbs for the difference in cost.

Conundrum · 01-09-2010, 05:41 PM

Yeah those are not even the least bit good looking for a truck or anyhting with fenders, the painted versions they had on the site may look good on a fenderless streetrod. Just my $.02.

CSGAS · 01-09-2010, 08:14 PM

I just...cannot conceive of...spending $1000 or more on any headlights...especially for the ones that look like THAT.

S10Fan · 01-10-2010, 07:49 AM

I knew that headlight looked familiar.............

tapeworm · 01-10-2010, 08:16 PM

Yeah, I usually can't stand the look LED taillamps in old car, let alone headlamps.

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-11-2010, 01:00 AM

just convert your housings to h4's and buy some h4 led's to put in them?
