Re: LED headlight upgrade
 
those are the lights I had on my zr1 before I sold it. these are fantastic and love the look. they are very bright but do not blind oncoming traffic. they have a very definite cut off. I miss these lights since they dont make them for c5's.

yeah I am guessing the cutoff is due to the Projector for the low beam. I have projectors on my Charger, I like the cut off (but like the HID even more so)

Yeah they have a very defined horizontal cut off, I like them a lot

My new LED's do not have a cutoff like that, more like a flashlight. Mine were just replacement bulbs in a Hella housing.

I just completed this upgrade last night on my 90 and damn I am impressed. I went with the same kit that locobob just installed and not only does it look agressive not on.... the amount of light it puts out LED wise is on the same quality as my wives new C300 Mercedes Coupe. You won't be disappointed. GC

DITTOS... ^^^

I (back-ordered) those (Larsen) lights and opted for the load resistor instead of the relay splicing approach. (The current draw was NEVER an issue with the OE headlights, so amperage is not an issue, but everything working normally is!)

We'll see, once the stuff comes in...

Paul,

I installed 3 pairs of these and the cleanest, simplest solution, posted about a year or two ago by a forum member, is to remove the fog light relay, identify the leg that plugs into ground socket, bend the leg around the relay housing, insert a electrical wire through a hole on the leg (for some reason they all have a hole), solder the wire to the leg, and finally find a ground point and ground it out. Works like a charm.

Just a question. Is there really a point to having fogs ON w the HI Beams?

Locobob.. those lights actually look pretty good. How is the pattern out on the road?

Locobob,
Where did you end up ordering them through?
