New LED 7" Headlights

Currently only available for 24 volt systems, but they're testing 12V lights now and expect to release them shortly. I've driven the Lexus LS with LED headlights and I can vouch for their clarity, and they seem great for off-road use; more robust solid state internals, less amperage draw, polycarbonate lenses and finally some properly bright headlights for my series!

One can only imagine the cost.

Hella ecodes are cheap, well built and have a great light pattern.

Well, I was so excited after seeing this that i called them and found a distributor to get a set. the distributor had no idea they existed and told me they would look for more info.

After a week of seaching got back to me saying there is a 6 month wait and each light costs around $450. ouch.

So for $900 plus taxes and shipping, you can have yourself a great set of LED headlights.

I pay 18 dollars for each of my 24v H4 light bulbs. so I estimate that i can burn out 55 bulbs before these lights can be feasable.

so how long will it take me to burn out 55 bulbs??

Depends on how many fingerprints you get on them when you install them! :mi7:

And if you replace them hot, they can take the fingerprints right off your fingers. Don't ask me how I know this. :oops:
