    Modern headlights for boxes

    Has anyone here installed projector or LED headlights into their box? If so, which ones did you go with?

    These are the ones I am looking at. Base price $149 for a set without HIDs. $379 for a set of 4 with lows and highs including HID kits. They are made of glass and their reviews look pretty good.
    Dapper Lighting headlight kits embody the classic look while substantially upgrading the quality and spread of light.


    I also looked at these that are made for busses and commercial vehicles. They are LED but price is ridiculous. 4 of these will cost over a grand.


    There is also JW Speaker which are nearly as much as Dialight.

    They do look really nice. I have no experience with them to share however.

        I know I've seen 4x6 projector kits for a lot cheaper than that... DOT approved to boot. I want-but-not-gonna-get something like that just for the halos...

            I've driven cars with those Hellas. I'll keep my sealed beams. Lots of light from the Hellas, none of it where I find it useful to be in order to see where I'm going. Most people who have them don't agree with me, but I don't have to drive their cars either

              Linky? The only other projector 4x6 that I've seen are made by Starr. They are less appealing IMO.


              I am not a fan of halos either but those can always be left unplugged.

              What does the beam pattern look like with those? Any pics of how they light up the road?

                You've also got these. Never used them before, but I've heard good things from OTR drivers about 'em.

                      I guess I should take pics or a video looking out the front.

                        Napa has the truck-lite kits and they run around $150 per light I plan on running them on my Towncar in the near future so I'll post some pictures and video once they are installed but from what I've seen and heard they are some of the best on the market.

                          That goes to the main page. Where are the actual lights? These?

                            that's just a conversion housing for regular halogen bulbs. Looks like they don't have the 4x6 in LED yet.

                              Pretty sure part #27011 is the full kit.
