LED Headlights

[David.H]

My Ruby & the Rover both have LED headlamp bulbs from Classic Dynamo & Regulator Conversion, not cheap, but do the job, the Ruby is running on 12V, and on H4 set-up (same as the Rover which originally had sealed beams). All the other bulbs on the Ruby are LED, most on the Rover are, I have had failures of LEDs on both of the side lights, individual LEDs failed in each cluster, but sending them back to CDRC, really to let the manufacturer know, resulted in two new ones being  supplied - been in service for about 3 years, so whilst the initial outlay is high, buying from someone like CDRC does give peace of mind.

The headlamps on the Ruby are brilliant and night driving is great, especially, as the driving position is quite elevated, so the blinding of on-coming car headlights is moreorless eliminated, which makes it more enjoyable.

As Stuart says, "buy cheap pay twice", you get what you pay for, if it is too good to be true then it probably is.

My ex Hong Kong AG has "desirable" 1960's motor bike rear/stop lights with MES (miniature Edison screw) bulbs of about 3 & 6w as far as I can guess (unreadable) Has any one tries LED/ MES bulbs? 6w is not a lot for brake lights!
