Do they have to be LEDs? You can get a great set of E-code Cibies for a lot less money. Couple 'em with a relay upgrade and you'll have better far lighting than OEM sealed beams.

No they dont have to be LEDs im willing to look at anything that is better the OEM stuff, so I can SEE!

Sylvania silver stars and relay upgrade, HUGE difference.

Those things are a gimmick, not a true led set up. A real led light set up is worth every penny.

Here's some that I looked at. I didn't see the price here, but I think they're cheaper than the HD headlights. I think they look a lot cooler as well.

X2, ive done it and my 67 can see further than my blazer and sable combined.

Right now there are no heated LED lights on the market. Truck Lite is supposed to be working on one. Since LEDs produce very little heat, they will ice and snow over drastically reducing output when you really need it.

I've got these on mine. They work great and have a cool old school look. Just don't be in a hurry when dealing with Daniel Stern. The guy is SLOW.
I ran one on my Harley before I went to the trucklite LED. The trucklite's are awesome but look too modern on the truck IMO. At least on my old truck.

I think most of the kuryaykyn stuff is junk but "their" LED lights ARE trucklites (at least they still were a year ago). They put their own packaging directly over the trucklite packaging. Seriously, a box over another box.

As far as improved lighting goes, you can't go wrong with either.

Wouldn't HID Headlights provide you more light than the LEDs?

Harley's Daymaker headlights do not have this problem. Crazy a ligh for a motorcycle doesn't have the icing problem other lights do. Have them in my jeep and in ohio they work great!

Nope! The off road guys got away from hids and went to LEDs as they are more durable and provide more light

High wattage LED's put out a LOT of heat. The entire back of those LED housings are giant heat sinks
