Default Re: Any good aftermarket headlights ???

I am using direct replacement 6volt LEDs in my A and Ts. I see no need to ever use halogen/quartz type bulbs.

On my A, I am using Bratton's reflectors. This set-up allows you to have as many lumens as Quartz/Halogen yet still use a 6v generator without any overheating or overcharging issues. Because each bulb uses less than 2 amps on high-beam, a total draw for the entire 6v electrical system is under 10 amps excluding when the horn is being used.


The only 2 things that I did not, -or do not care for is the light output looks odd as the original light bulbs put off a yellow-ish glow whereas these are pure white. Most people are used to that look so they don't really know any difference between what they originally looked like and with the conversion. The other is when looking thru the lens at close range, the LED bulb looks very modern compared to the old round filament bulbs.
