65sting 4 Report post Posted December 6 I already did tail lights, parking lights and flasher. Now I am installing Dakota Digital HDX. Just got all the pre-wiring done. Re-painted the gauge bezel while I was at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vet65te 1 Report post Posted December 6 Good looking conversion. Any drawbacks to going with LED? I saw you mentioned 'fans' and wondered if the typical midyear headlight pod will hold the heat in too much. Mike T - Prescott AZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

65sting 4 Report post Posted December 7 I was talking to a guy at Good Guys who was doing high end C2 LS builds. I asked him what he did for lights. The fans will last longer in the C2 buckets than the fan less plus they are shallower and did not require any mods. C3's would have more options. I tried other sets last year and the LED was too long to fit into a C2 bucket, Now they have bubs with flexible cloth like heat sinks, but the fans are the way to go.

mrhusker 34 Report post Posted December 8 Total night and day difference. I've contimplated LED for mine but was told to get different projector lenses first otherwise I'd be blinding on coming traffic. Have you noticed any light that would cause any issues like that? Are your new lights the projector lenses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

65sting 4 Report post Posted December 10 The lights are DOT approved lenses. I aimed the bulbs low should be no issue. Had them out only once and lights were not hitting any windows but were really lighting up signs etc. with a nice spread. The high beam s would be blinding. They are not projector housings, they are H4 Halogen housings, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
