Came across this this morning on YouTube. Have you guys seen this? Holley came out with modern LED headlights that look like the original light and don't require hacking to fit. A little spendy, but could be well worth it if you actually drive your ol' B-body.

A couple of Videos from the YouTube Channel 'Headlight Revolution'.



 
Game changer... I think. They don’t look cheesey.
 
Saw those the other day in an advert in my email. 179.00 per pair. Not too bad for a good upgrade.
 
All I can say about this offering is, NO FOOKING WAY WOULD I SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR FREAKIN' HEADLIGHTS!!! Holly has lost their FOOKING mind!!! :realcrazy::realcrazy::realcrazy::usflag::usflag::usflag:cr8crshr/Bill
 
No way I would spend that kind of money on a single headlamp. Really how much night driving do we do in our cars? For what I need GE NightHawk Halogens with relays are a great upgrade at a reasonable cost.
 
I'm gonna ask the magic question, Where are they made??? We have to quit sending all of our money to Taiwan & China!
When are we going to realize that we're screwing our kid's and Grandkid's future up? Please excuse the Rant!
 
LED's don't create heat.

DO NOT use LED lights in a car that sees winter weather. Your lights WILL freeze.

I put Hella H4 sealed beam conversion lamps in all my sealed-beam cars (including my Charger), and I take out the H4 halogen bulbs and replace them with H4 HID bulbs for the low beams, and an H4 LED bulb for the high beam (for instant-on; no heat required since my low beams will stay clear).

The HIDs create heat so they will stay clear in snow and ice; they throw a TON of light; the H4 conversion Hellas put the light in the right place (not in oncoming traffic's eyes); once lit, an HID takes much less power than a halogen. They only draw power during the 5-10 second ignition time - HID is an arc-light; a tiny lightning bolt between the 2 posts inside the light, instead of a metal filament that glows when current runs through it. You can pick your "color"; I use 4300K (Kelvin) because that is the closest to daylight. Stay away from blue lights (higher K numbers) because the human eye reacts poorly to blues; lower K numbers move you towards ambers which I like in my high beams (like the Charger) just for the color contrast, and to help cut through fog. I run 3000k high beam color temperature high beams, and 4300k low beams, in the Charger. Glass lenses, metal reflectors, no cutting the buckets, they drop right in. There is some wiring involved with HIDs - ballasts and relays - but that stays hidden in my Charger and the only giveaway is a single wire going to the + post on the battery. Everything else is either hidden, or blends in very well.
 
Hey guys, I know squat about this subject, haven't done any real research yet, so just wanted to say THANK YOU for the info to alternatives that are available rather than just saying 'that sucks'. If Holley could come up with a package deal at a lower price, it might be a viable option.
 
Well, I just installed the headlight relay kit from CrackedBack and discombooberated my ammeter
so I'm ready for Halogens! Aint no way no how I'm gonna be puttin them thar things on my car!
So THERE!
 
Once you have the headlight relays installed, then the regular halogen headlights become much brighter as they are getting full 12v power to them.
 
Napa has the lights for 100 each. If you drive at night, I would recommend this as your 1st up grade. We do drive our car quite a bit so that means there will be night driving. I am very confident with my new lights.
