Re: Bronco headlight projection conversion Reply #31 – February 20, 2020, 08:40:29 pm This is a projector Led2 assembly installed into a modified aftermarket 1991 Ford headlight assembly. No fiberglass or paint work required, but these hi performance led2s are about $350 and the cost of new light assemblies. So their not a $38 dollar led bulb upgrade. The $38 dollar upgrade will be brighter than your stock bulbs but will be unfocused, blinding to oncoming traffic and will never compare in regards to focus or meet DOT requirments. Quote Selected
Re: Bronco headlight projection conversion Reply #32 – February 21, 2020, 06:49:47 am Ok.. but do they directly fit our GV? Is the 350 for the pair?Are they glass?Even if each, that is far less than any other altertive Quote Selected

Yet another option I found Reply #35 – February 21, 2020, 01:28:04 pm I like the LED projector option and updated appearance with DRL's, but not sure I'm tactile enough any longer to attend to all the fiddly bits and am 100% certain that any aftermarket buckets made in China are overpriced junk and not worth the wasted effort.

So at that point your at $940 minimum. If the lights work and don't blind oncoming traffic on low beams that's sounds like a home run. Bonus they are heated for severe winter use. LEDs don't run hot enough to clear ice. Function over Form. I like it. Scott Quote Selected As an Amazon Associate Foretravel Owners' Forum earns from qualifying purchases.

Re: Bronco headlight projection conversion Reply #38 – February 21, 2020, 03:23:49 pm Scott, they're the ones. Thanks for all your ingenuity and efforts in the projector mods....didn't intend to steal your thunder. I did put JWSpeaker 7" rounds on my jeep...they are simply the best out there and worth every penny IMO...plus made in 'merica. Quote Selected
Re: Bronco headlight projection conversion Reply #39 – February 21, 2020, 10:20:01 pm haha no thunder to be had. I am looking forward to comparing them in person. Again function over form. The older I get the better everything else has to work for me. I agree 100% on the plastic lens. But I am committed to the Projectors since I own them. Scott Quote Selected

Re: Bronco headlight projection conversion Reply #45 – February 25, 2020, 08:22:18 am I do have LED bulbs. They are 9004 HB1 LED Headlight 4-Sided Bulbs High&Low Beam 2000W 240000LM 6000K White You have to buy 2 1157A turn signal light bulbs. I did have a problem with the plastic ring that holds the 9004 in the headlight assy. The little fan on the back of the 9004 is too big to use the lock ring. The headlights came with studs to hold light assy. in MH, I had to unscrew them and use my original screws. You also have to take an adjustment assy. off the old(2 screws) and install on new headlight assy. I run with my headlights on, but the new headlights come with the "C-BAR" light wires just hanging loose, you can wire them any way you want. I connected "C-BAR" with the amber 1157a running lights in the turn signal. I will get some pics at night soon. I did keep the old Halogen bulbs and can change them out anytime just like changeing any bulb, just unplug. Quote Selected
Re: Bronco headlight projection conversion Reply #46 – February 25, 2020, 08:37:22 pm This is a few pics tonight and about 100' from my MH bay in the barn. First pic is on dim lights, second is high beam lights(notice the extra light close to the MH and on the ground. One pic I am outside in front(you can see my shadow) looking at the barn. One shot looking at MH from barn at 100'.I am sure if I like the new 9004 bulbs. They have 4 leds, on low beam only 2 light up and they are not across from each other. The 2 leds that light up on low beam are at 3 oclock and 6 oclock, high beam adds the other 2 leds. I will have to drive with them. They have not had any adjustment done. Pat Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Bronco headlight projection conversion Reply #47 – February 27, 2020, 10:39:04 am Pat. i completely understand how difficult it is to show photos of lights with our level of photography. While in the low beam position if viewing the at the lights from several hundred feet do they produce acceptable unblinding light to oncoming traffic. I want to see and well, but do not want oncoming traffic to be blinded and always flashing me to dim my lights with them in dim position. I've been unable to do this with reflectors and add on led bulbs. The Projectors are a completely different story. Picture don't do them justice. Zero direct light to oncoming traffic. Will have too, would like too, do a side by side comparison sometimeScott Quote Selected

Woody.These look great!!!! I had thought about trying to manufacture a bezel for mouting 5x7's into the stock housing after I did a home-made conversion. I am thrilled with my performance with 5x7 glass housings, but I suspect DSD's performance trumps these with his projector mods. Here are some details on my install for those DIYers:Headlights differences for 2000 U320'sNext upgrade is a relay and dedicated power to relay & headlights to decrease voltage drop through the headlight circuit.
