I have some on my 37. Super bright and no load on the system. Worth the upgrade. Not EBAY though.

Can you send me the link to the ebay article?
Is it usable for 6V position ground?

Regards Thomas

I bought mine from LBcarCo.com. They’re from the U.S., work great in my 33, 6V positive ground.

Do they still look stock (when turned off) or is it obvious they are LED? Some LED headlights look very strange on an old car if the rest of the car is stock.

rjlester, on my '37 with the fluted lenses its tough to detect the led bulb in there. like iv'e said the leds put out a great white light the fluted lense that is designed for incandescent bulb lights up the road somnewhat mostly i use for less draw and to be seen by others. i dont drive much after dusk.

I never had any luck with them. He kept insisting that my Ford headlight sockets were Plymouth. I finally just gave up. He also wasn't much help ordering.

He asked for a picture of the stock bulb first, which I provided.
