Hey Fellas

Well I can personally attest to the fact these LEDs by Vintage Trader are extremely bright not just your "run of the mill" drop in but engineered to provide gentle non-blue white light, liken to incandescent but 3-4 times brighter compared to SW-Chip's 80 Watt H4s on his 3.2. He was very skeptical of the LEDs but he was impressed which is very rare :-)

Mine are European H4's and I just used the LEDs.

In the past I used HID's but it was hit and miss when the balast would turn on or not then I installed PIAA LEDs, great light but so dim, not much better than 60Watt Standard Bulbs. They paled in comparison to Vintage Trader's LEDs.

While testing them I never realized the softer warmer light was more pleasing and less strain on my old eyes.

I highly recommend them, especially if you have the Sugar Scoop lights as they are truly plug and play. They will also keep the original look of the car

Seeing things like this and this on their website make me cringe. They also don't seem to show the actual products, just images of the lights turned on, which doesn't show you how well they actually work.


These look promising, but I don't have enough information yet to say if they are recommendable or not.




Crap, I got allot of Stuff in the Garage RFLOL
