Genaro Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hello guys ! Is there anybody here that installed these LED "osram" headlights on a 720 Datsun ? https://www.amazon.com/COWONE-Rectangular-Headlights-Replacement-Freightinger/dp/B0748DDYRN/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1517264231&sr=1-2&keywords=4x6+led+osram My concern it that they say 4.25 x 6.62 inches. I did a search but couldnt find results... Thanks in advance ! 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Why not buy regular H4 conversion housings and LED bulbs? H4 outers, H1 for the inners. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I've tried to get interested in LED headlamps but just can't. So much BS about how good they are or not. Most are made in China and make crazy claims of output lumens. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have LEDs in my Lexus. Love them. The 521 will be getting a full set as well. Whether lumen output is as stated or not, they are much brighter than the halogens they replaced. Less amperage used over HIDs also. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yeah If stock Toyota, they are probably good quality. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Nah. They're Chinese specials I got off of Amazon for cheap. Fogs and low-beams. Zero complaints. Pattern is good, not glaring. Have not modified OE housings in any way. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Long as they are cheap..... uh I mean brighter. 3 Quote Link to comment
Genaro Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Why not buy regular H4 conversion housings and LED bulbs? H4 outers, H1 for the inners. I didnt considered that option... Thing is that a colleague will bring them from the Us to Mexico where we are working now, and im trying to get the lights in one closed package with one purchase bill for him to have it easier to get in the minesite and for me to take it out of the camp through security check. And also trying to shave some wattage on the system... Back in my country Argentina i couldn't find 4x6 housings that fit the lights frame and i dont have too much time these days to DIY something... i though that this kit couldnt be worse in performance than the original sealed ones. Actually i dont use the truck lights, in town i use two 10 watt leds and a 6" single row Rigid hyperspot as high beam. Bad thing about the 10w leds is that they are Fog pattern... Thanks for all the replies! 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Problem with those is you will cut/splice your cars wiring to make them work. AutoPal makes good, cheap housings; in all sizings. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Find something more plug and play. 2 Quote Link to comment
Genaro Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Problem with those is you will cut/splice your cars wiring to make them work. AutoPal makes good, cheap housings; in all sizings. I could do a parallel installation and leave the original as it is now... but yes, it will take time ... i will keep searching for something like Charlie said... plug & play. I want to say that another objective is to save the original sealed beams from rocks , where i live most of the roads are of gravel and dirt. And those lights are completely unobtainable. Thanks for all replies.! 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Genaro if you have Amazon shipping to your location here is a link for you to investigate. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=4x6+led+headlight&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=181877342860&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1043756602560453166&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030105&hvtargid=kwd-38835999985&ref=pd_sl_18kgmd5el2_b_p20 There are exact LED replacements for the 720 sealed beam lights. These stock lights were and still are used on many different vehicles world wide. When you find some you like do some research on them as the pros and cons. Find a comparison of several different LEDs and pick the one that best fits what you are looking for. Google is your friend! Quote Link to comment
