Headlight options

[AZmoto]

Well it's time to purchase some headlights. There are a million options and I'm overwhelmed. What have you guys found that you like and recommend?

 

[Ark :D]

I love mine. Amazon cheapies, but they work great and the price was right.

Headlights

Matching buckets

There's 3D-printed mounting rings and tabs that @Mayor West designed that are needed, as well. I think they're in the 3D-print thread.

And I gutted these headlights to use the buckets.

@Ark :D i got nearly identical buckets and lights to upgrade mine. How did you mount the bucket to the shock tower?

@Mayor West sent me some 3d-printed tabs/brackets. I was just looking for them in the 3d-print thread but don't see them in there anymore. Perhaps he'll see this and provide the .stl files. I swore they were in that thread ... I may be blind.

I got these on Amazon.

They're there. The first post has a link to his original post in the tech section where he attached the .stl files are attached.

5.75" Headlights under 100$ with Highs/Lows, DRLs, & Turn Signals

I have finally finished my headlights, I ended up buying a metal housing from Amazon to go along with my cheap eBay headlights, but the included setting ring didn't even fit its own product so I successfully 3D printed a correctly sized one that works well. Figured some others may be...

Do these lights have DOT stamped on the lens?

 

[Jareth]

MJP61 may need to confirm but the image on Amazon shows the DOT stamp at the top, along with one of the answered questions indicating that they are.

Yes it does.

Second this. The low beams are actually really good. The high beams don't add a ton of extra light but the lows are good enough it that it doesn't really bother me.

Thank you! I totally forgot about that thread and I even commented on it... I printed a pair out of ABS. I did have to run a 3/8" bit but they fit really well.

I went with a small set off lights off of amazon see post 78 for pictures

 

[Mayor West]

I haven't driven my car in a while because of the wreck, but I really like my headlights. Both low and high seemed to have very decent coverage and it cost very little.

 

[AZmoto]

Thanks for all of the input. I ended up with the same ones as MJP61. I liked the fact that they are pretty much ready to bolt on and go.

I will be going with LUMEN 4x6 LED headlights on mine with an integrated turn signal HALO for maximum visibility on the streets and some cheapo mounting brackets (if the brackets are trash I might make my own better version) I do love the look of rectangular headlights here.

Where did you find the brackets for those?

$10 on ebay
but I have seen that not all 4x6 lights have threaded holes on the back so gotta make sure of that first!
JW speaker makes a 4x6 headlight with a pedestal mount built in but they are way expensive.

Pardon Our Interruption...

JW Speaker is absolutely worth it though
