92-97 LED headlight bulbs.........

[Kevs97GM]

Anyone done the conversion?
What brand bulb?
Happy with 'em?

I've just been running a 9012 bulb on my low beams with an upgraded headlight harness in my '97. More lumen output on that style bulb at the same wattage, just a more efficient design, just have to trim the upper tab to match a 9006 profile. Clean and properly aimed headlight assemblies help. Can't say much about the LED in headlight business, only ever stuck them in my taillights.

I used the SeaLight 14000 lumens set. It's not on Amazon any more, but I'm more than satisfied with that kit. The brights are about 2x halgens and the lows are about 1.5x halogen lows (using xtravision as a basis).

You can get 9005/9006 individually in pairs though.

Zero issues on my 93 CVLX.

Same stuff used on my Expedition. Post swap shots on this post: http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthre...l=1#post864005

I had to add resistors to the high beams on that one due to the LCM.

Added resistors to both vehicles for LED blinkers and tails. One resister per tail on the 93 and one per corner on the 03 Expedition with LCM.

Its a bit premature, but the Sealight that Sly used I will give a preliminary thumbs up to.
Based on my early dawn driving into work the beam is much better than the previous LED I had (I'm still running with one Seallight (9007 variety in the 2008) and one whatever its name is as I've been intending to take a night drive to compare the two but always end up in my truck for some reason) there is also a distinct difference between high and low beam which was also lacking in the previous led--which is very apparent with the two different leds in there. One just brightens up a bit, the other has a distinct high beam that is better spread out.

I wish LEDs (conversions) were legal here. The headlights in my Caprice are total ASS.

If you have access to access to Sylvania XtraVision bulbs, that can help. They're a little brighter. If the bulbs are original, they may just be worn out and crap.

I just put in Philiips NightGuide Platinums a week ago or so, supposedly the best 9004 halogens there are. Still crap visibility.
Thought about buying new headlight housings, they're 90€ a pair on RA. But, looking at the current ones, they aren't too hazed or faded. I would probably be spending a bunch of $$$ for little to very little improvement.

I have been using Beamtech fanless. So far no failures on two vehicles. They, Beamtech, have a new generation of fanless now. My friend bought two sets the other day so will see how the new design units workout.

check the voltage supply to the lamps. Any drop in the harness makes a big difference in light output.

+1 If you haven't done a relay mod for the headlights, the power is going fully through the dash switch and is probably dropping a few volts easy before getting to the headlights. This was the case all the way up to 94 IIRC. I know my 93 was still putting all the power through the switch until I did the relay mod.

[gadget73]

All 3 of mine do it that way, but oddly enough the drop on the Mark VII is pretty small, under half a volt. Both the Towncar and the Continental were losing a little more than 2 volts if I measured battery voltage vs across the headlight voltage. Relay harnesses on both made a huge difference.

[sly]

Yeah... same on the 88 MGM I had. The 93 didn't improve much, but taking the load off the switch for some peace of mind is a good thing. Don't like fires in the dash.

[Arquemann]

The headlights are getting a nice and solid 14V +-0,2 when running. Very little voltage drop from the battery. I did check, no relay on the Chevy either. Sly probably didn't catch the fact that I was talking about the Caprice.
Relayed headlights are due for the MGM at some point though, but it's not too big of an issue since it's mostly a summer cruiser.

Are HID bulbs an option?
