Well :flipa to them!
I think those look pretty good. They do work well. My only complaint would be that they appear to be sealed beam lights. Anymore, I prefer to just replace a bulb instead of the entire light.
Nope. I found one more complaint. They are plastic lights. I prefer the non yellowing of glass. For the price, I hope they last a LOOOONG time before turning yellow.
They definitely have their drawbacks, and may not be the ultimate end result, but I think they’ll do for now.

I have the Bronco Graveyard Relay kit as well, for what that’s worth knowing

Well bout 6-7 yr ago I got a complete set of Amazon front headlights for my '90. Complete with the plastic chrome edges etc etc & the signal lites. My old ones were yellow, faded, clouded over, pitted & everything so bad nearly nothing could shine thru.
I also ordered a roll of some peel & stick clear plastic coating & after me & my son got lights installed we cut to fit the clear stuff & stuck it on. Been holding up & headlights & signal lites still bright & clear.
However I wish I had something that overall was brighter......maybe someday.

You or anyone got a bulb part number for some LED bulbs that might fit my '90 headlights?
I don't, but you can look online for them. Type your bulb number and "LED upgrade" into your search engine. I'll bet that you will come up with several options.

Well I went to Oriley's today & they said there was no 9004 LED bulb available that would fit my '90....9004 bulb.
Just now came in & got on puter. Found SEALIGHT site online & looks like they got Black Friday Sale going on & they got 9004 LED bulbs going for bout $32-$37-$70/pair of LED bulbs.
However I don't know enough about the different specs of their bulbs to know which ones be best for me & my '90.
Anyone maybe look at that site or maybe already know??

Both of the top two options seem viable, the second from the top may be too bright… being able to see at the cost of others vision won’t do you much good… and while these new vehicles lights can be abrasive on the eyes, the wrong bulbs in the wrong housings will be much worse…

I’m definitely not an expert though

Right after reading only this, I KNEW that they had lied to you. A LED 9004 is widely available.

This is correct too.

Me neither. I just experiment until I find what I like and what works for me.

Leds in the factory housings are generally bad. Light doesn't reflect where it needs to go since the diodes aren't in the same spot as the filaments on a halogen. It will look brighter until you are driving and realize your lighting up everything and the light isn't focused where you look when driving. A poor analogy is its kinda like driving with high beams in fog.

As for leds in projectors vs hids, leds have came a long way. I'd still bet my 10 year old 55w denso ballast makes brighter light then 90% of the amazon junk. If you get some quality leds though they can be just as good as hids without the drawbacks.

Was looking for pics to show the hid in projector beam out across a field below my garage and finally found it.

@ttman4 I have had good luck with this brand but a different application/size. They have a built in cooling fan. I have not had one fail yet
