LED headlight conversion

[Huicho417]

I would like to convert the headlights on my 67 Coronet to LED for better visibility. I just started doing some research and it seems like the Holly option might be the best, but out out of my price point. Has anyone here used any other options that yielded good results? Thank you in advance.

Commenting here because I'm also interested in doing this. Looking forward to replies.

Before going to LED you should check voltage at headlights with them on and engine running and also voltage drop on both pos and neg at headlights. Old wiring, wire connections and switches cause all sorts of problems for a 55 year old car.

I converted my 65 to halogen and really like the results. I did use dual relays and heavier gauge wiring also.

I would go with a headlight relay kit. It takes a big strain off the headlight switch and provides more voltage to the headlights. I’ve done this on 2 of my Mopars.

Relays and Wagner halogens here. Works good at night.

If any of you guys have the original General Electric low beams (5 3/4"), I'm looking for a pair...

Haven't done it but thinking about it.

I saw your WTB post and took a look at the ones I pulled from my Satellite, but I only have one of the 4002's. Someone jammed a 4000 in the other bucket.

Don - if it's nice - not foggy/hazy, nice reflector and lens - and works, shoot me a PM and we can email.

Just did this conversion on my 64. Unbelievable difference. Listed below are the units I used. I went with these lenses because they ALMOST resemble the stock glass units. The only difference is that the replacements are not quite as convex as OEM.

Octane Lighting. Plug and play

Thanks everyone. I am going to proceed with the octane halogen option with amber colored hi beams. I am going to pair it with their headlight relay harness as well. Really appreciate everyone's input and recommendations.

 

[Huicho417]

I just purchased the Octane headlights and relay harness. Has anyone done it that can share some images on how they ran the relay wiring? My foot dimmer has has three wires coming out of it. A red wire, black wire and light green wire that goes to headlight switch on dash. Of the red and black wires which one goes to high beam and low beam lights?

Get a hold of a member "crackedback" to get his wiring harness for 2 or 4 headlights. Also, look at his "wire around". They come with all you need, even relays. Attached is my headlights on just battery, not running and I mounted the relays under my battery tray, on the arm and hidden

Holley rapes you on what they want for EACH headlight

Holley is coming out with their Retrobright LED series soon. Not sure how they compare price wise with the other solutions mentioned here. They do appear to be truly plug & play.

 

[rrTor-Red]

They're already out

Website was saying they wouldn't ship until November, so I had thought they were still in preorder status. Thanks for letting us know.

Well, one should call them, which I didnt. Thats what their site says. I know of a few companies will "preorder" only to find out that they don't have them. Holley says $179/light(?)
