Too bad they used the wrong kind of LED's (the right kind are on his fogs). I hope he has HID's hiding in the grill..haha.

Looks sick as hell. Ill be honest though, I dont know much about lighting types and all that. What is the difference?

The LED's in those headlights are not high output (level of Lumens)

High Output = 700lm+ (many in the thousands now, but pricier)
Standard = 150lm max (most are lower double digits)

The more wanted LED's are much higher in wattage (standard LED's were milliwatts). But with this comes heat which isn't typical in regular LED's. Heat sinks are on many of them to dissipate it. The higher the heat..the lower the life of the LED. So be careful when you shop and also how you set up the overall retrofit to allow room for heat sinks and heat wave dissipation.

looks cool but like elpresidente said no good for night driving. lol

[OG]

looks like a fly. no likey.

Interesting placement of the vents on the door. Not really feeling the retro.

[berlinas2k2]

Retro is definitely not my liking, but props for the time involved in something like that!

that fitment on the other hand is spot on!

[PANCAKES!]

There's a company that now sells fog lights that use those type of LEDs
Looks real cheezy cheap IMO

I want to see the output and what these look like at night though

[ScottyTuned]

Thanks for the info Mike! I had no idea of any difference. Good to know!

Link to them Pancakes? Im not sure I could work them in, but I oddly enough love the look.

[PANCAKES!]

I saw them in a mag, I'll find it and up the pic for you as soon as I can

[shawnthemonster]

i feel like its a led sign and some message might scroll across....

[CrazyHawaiian]

In mother russia, led's retrofit you!

For me personally, no like. Maybe in a smaller housing. It seems overdone. It looks like alien cannons or something. Ready to shoot lasers. Or maybe like a fly (like someone already mentioned). Does not seem to flow well like some of the other retrofits I've seen. But I give them props for all the work involved, that probably took a good amount of time to make...

[BLKVIP]

intresting concept.....talking bout led"driveing light" im iching to see the led based projectors, forgot what car i herd it was on ls600 maby?

[5t341tH]

crazy bug eyes! find some pics of it lit up!

It is lit up..just daytime pic.

I'd like to try this with some 3watt LEDs and half inch projectors. Do like a F50 style headlight retroed into my G.

hmmm

Not my taste, it looks like insect eyes. LED is really hard to have in headlights because they don't output much. Lexus did found a way to have LED bulb headlights, new project anyone?(costly)

[widebody_Q]

To me the car already kind of looks like a toy even in stock forum. Every time I see one, I think of car town on facebook.

I don't think these lights look great but its far more acceptable IMO at least, on a Honda Fit than it would be a bigger luxury sedan.

[NELSON09]

Kinda reminds me of the cheese grater housings around the projectors on w215 CL benzs.

Took the words out of my mouth. LED headlights fit the car because of this.

The LS600HL headlights aren't alien tech, it's three projectors in unison so it's bright enough. Here's something interesting I found while researching it:



Maximum Number of Lamps

24405. (a) Not more than four lamps of the following types showing to the front of a vehicle may be lighted at any one time:
(1) Headlamps.
(2) Auxiliary driving or passing lamps.
(3) Fog lamps.
(4) Warning lamps.
(5) Spot lamps.
(6) Gaseous discharge lamps specified in Section 25258.
(b) For the purpose of this section each pair of a dual headlamp system shall be considered as one lamp.
(c) Subdivision (a) does not apply to any authorized emergency vehicle.

Amended Ch. 234, Stats. 1976. Effective January 1, 1977.


Notice "B" though.
