Ok, how do I rotate the pics? My phone does t seem to want to let me.

FYI, if you have an iPhone, when taking photos you want to post turn the phone sideways, with the home button on the right side. Then you shouldn't have to rotate them later.

Why the 2 different colour lights?

Ok here are my nighttime shots. There is an orange light in the upper left corner of the pics. Here is a night shot low beam, high beam is not much brighter. The tail lights are super bright! My phone decided to take short videos of high and the tail lights. I did not ask it to do that and of course now I put her to bed🙄. Sorry about the pic again, tried to rotate it in my phone and no dice. But you at least get to see the comparison of the two bulbs.

Different "color temperature" LEDs. 6000K is bluer and brighter, 3000K more closely matches incandescent color. Bluer light reflects back into your eyes more when driving in fog, rain or snow, so caveat emptor.

Photo rotated, those look good from that shot. I got my LEDs in yesterday and played around a bit today. Results are inconclusive, I want to take some time to double check things before I report out. Biggest issue is that the headlight bulbs only work on high, no output on low. Tried both sides and multiple LED bulbs to no avail.

JBWthree, thank you for rotating the pics for me.

JBWthree, This is great idea installing one in each light. Could I suggest shining them at a large building or wall, from various distances, to see the pattern. Thanks so much for your efforts and time.

It's sure going to confuse oncoming traffic.

Katy, would it be fair to call this one a Padiddle?

Here is a video Paul Shinn did about LED headlights in a Model A Ford.
