Popular Post r686st Posted January 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2015 The 7" round LED headlights are available from Peterson and I've purchased two:) I can't say enough good things about them. They shine atleast a quarter of a mile ahead of you while driving as well as have an extremely wide beam(can see from road ditch to road ditch). The top half of the low beam and the whole assembly lights up when on high. I will say they are quite expensive still and for some reason changing between hi/low sometimes has a half second delay. If you drive your truck every day for living I can't recommend them enough it'll be money well spent.The 3rd picture is of a traditional incandescent halogen sealed beam while the other pics are of the LED. FYI: I put them into my 1991 RD690S tractor. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38468-led-headlights-are-here/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 How pricey were they? Can you get them online? Part number? Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

r686st Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I can find out the part number since I don't have it on hand. I paid $220.00 a piece but you can probably get them cheaper since my parts guy is a little high. I know it's high ,but my halogen were dim/broken and since I drive mine every day I thought it was worth the piece of mind. As you can tell it was the whole assembly not just the bulb which makes it a "plug and play" setup.

thomastractorsvc Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 They are supposed to last forever, if you can find the part number post it. My inlaw works for a lighting company they may have them in stock and if so probably can get them with discount. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

thomastractorsvc Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 No problem I looked up my halogen light and sent her an email and asked if they had a LED replacement.

BC Mack Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I now have two Speaker 4x6 for my MH, installing soon.... seen them working on another vehicle and have driven at night with them... can't say enough about the improvement... yes, ditch to ditch lit up like daytime but not burning out the eyeballs of oncoming drivers..list is $300ish each... so, they are not a casual purchase... try before you buy.BC Mack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38468-led-headlights-are-here/#findComment-274808 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I was just reading some reviews on amazon and they are complaining about the x pattern and not standing up to gravel roads, have you had any experience with them yet?

Popular Post whitegold Posted January 28, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2015 My concern with these is led dont make heat, I'm worried they would get caked shut with snow while driving in a storm. 5 Quote THE MILKMAN DID IT.....

gearhead204 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 that's why they don't run them on trailers here , they cover over with snow so it would make sense that the head lights would do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38468-led-headlights-are-here/#findComment-276503 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_martell Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I know my led tail lights are always covered in snow...next time it's in the shop they're gonna replace the upper corner lights with regular bulbs, so I'll have at least one lamp on each side....but my led driving lights seem to keep clear not bad Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....
