LED hedlamp install

[XfireZ51]

Well I finished installing the SYLVANIA OSRAM projector LEDs.
Cutoff appears to be very good. I’m posting pics understanding that they are not the greatest, but I think u will get the idea. Especially given the price for these, they appear to be pretty decent. I’ll try following up w clearer pics of the lighting pattern.

Try 100/55w H4 bulbs (Hella Z Beams)
High beams will burn the paint off the car in front of you!
And, you don't have to screw around modifying your car's
electrical system...

Oh don’t get me wrong, I am happy with the light they put out for the amount I drive the car at night, but nothing like the HIDs in my charger

The higher off the ground the headlights are mounted, the greater the issue with glare...which makes sense. I get away with my (Larsen) LEDs on the Z, and they're ~ 6000º (K) bright, white. I've never been "FLASHED" by on-coming traffic. But my (2017) F250 truck lights appear to be standard incandescent (warm in color [4500º?]- not white) - not particularly bright either (except there are 4 headlights and 2 fogs illuminated on LO beam) - and I occasionally get "FLASHED" by on-coming traffic.

I hypothesize that if the LO beam cutoff is always below the eye level of oncoming traffic, then the glare factor is greatly (mostly) eliminated: such being the case in the Vette. I've never been "flashed" by on-coming traffic when driving the Z, in spite of being much brighter that stock. That ain't the case for the truck tho! I get flashed in spite of the fact the lights are not much brighter than standard incandescent sealed beam lights. (But, there are twice as many of them running on LO beam to offset the lack of (brightness)).

My point? If one is going to run HID or LED upgraded headlights, it is apparently important to have a well defined cutoff to prevent blasting on-coming drivers - except perhaps when cresting a hill that other guy gets blasted until the cutoff drops below his eye level.

Installed the LED headlights this past Saturday. Also did the Fog Light relay mod.

Took a drive in the afternoon to see some friends, and the ride back at night on back roads and highway was great.
Very good lighting both low and hi beam.
Nobody in the oncoming lanes flashed their brights at me, so the cutoff must be ok.

The headlights look a little goofy, but being hidden during the day makes it ok.
I highly recommend this mod for those who go out driving at night.

If you're referring to the Genssi/Larsen ("spider-eyes") lights, one option is the black face: definitely look different...but very cool (IMO)!
