LED headlights (92 sport) (Success)

[csmall88]

I know if I ask about led headlights, people will tell me why not to use them. But has anybody retrofitted the housings to accommodate an LED bulb or is there a housing that works with the first gens.

Honestly, if you're buying a quality LED like the Hikari Ultra's that are shaped properly you shouldn't need to retrofit your headlight housing. They are shaped to match the filament layout and physical dimensions of the halogen bulb you're replacing. If you wind up getting those 3 or 4-sided COB ones that produce scattered light you may have to retrofit or at the very least aim your headlights way down. Just my .02.

Just installed my new Hikari leds. I also borrowed a buddy of mines 4 sided leds to do some comparing. The hikaris blow them out of the water when It comes to angling and light scattering. (granted my adjuster screw tabs are broken so I'm waiting on that) but they're a very good option. Safe, bright, made for halogen housings, and they're affordable. Thank you 96AWD5.LOL
P.S. I used the discount code BULBFACT on amazon and got 10% off

I’ll do that as soon as I get it back. I replaced the radiator yesterday and it was running fine and then I was cruising down the interstate, look behind me, and i’m smoking up the whole freeway. Pull over and I lose my clutch. What a great time to get excited lol
