LED Headlight
12/03/14 9:37 AM

Amazon is selling Cree/Osram 80W LED conversion kit. I was thinking about HID but LED seems to be better as it is more durable and less complicated. Has anyone here tried LED on ZX??

Nice find. Might have to mess with the reflector inside the light to get the beam pattern right. HID's are pushing it with the stockers in mine.

Down side to LEDs they don't flood the road.

I just installed these tonight and they are awesome. I think they do a great job lighting up the road and they're not even adjusted yet. They aren't cheap but I don't mind spending money for what I deem a safety item. I just got on this site tonight so when I get a chance I will try to post a pic.

These are the best possible choice for LED:

How long have you been running those for and any issues with aiming/aligning the bulbs?

I have a similar set of bulbs for the car and they make a world of difference but were a bit of a pain to align the bulbs to the correct orientation with the reflectors. I also had 1 of my bulbs stop working within a year, the manufacturer sent out a new set as they updated their design so no complaints there.

@Nightmare:

Cyclops bulbs are aligned correctly.

They know their stuff!

Contact them and ask if you're not sure...
