bubbamobilin Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Anyone ever converted a set forward CH with halogen headlights over to led? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60296-led-headlights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
880joe Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I converted one of my CH's to LED I bought mine from mack about 500 each they are all one piece. Another guy on here did one I believe he just put new headlights in and replaced the 9004 bulb with an LED replacement was alot cheaper probably a better way to go as it would be cheaper and easier to replace out on the road if one was to go out. They do make an amazing difference over the old ones. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60296-led-headlights/#findComment-438843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbamobilin Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Thanks. My dad bought me a set of the led lights from Mack. Are they hard to replace and is there anything unusual about the wiring?

880joe Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Not really hard to replace but the screws that holds the light in all twisted off or had to drill out because they were corroded in then had to put nuts on back side. As far as the wiring you have to get a pigtail that fits the light and cut your original end off and splice them together only 3 wires on each side.

41chevy Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 And don't forget to re adjust them. LED's have a different lens pattern so the lights need to be set up not to blind on coming.

City passed an ordinance going into effect on January 1 where you can be cited for improper headlamp adjustment. Two wrecks last year prompted that, one with a fatality. 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
