Polarized yellow lenses. They work wonders, and I use them every night. I still have problems with someone sitting across from me at a light with their high beam/brights on. I turn mine on and pull the visor. Usually works sometimes doesn't. But the bright LEDs don't bother me as much with polarized yellow lenses. You can buy them on Amazon, there is a variety to the quality.

Thats my low beam (55000 Lumen LED)

Thanks for write up, that spreadsheet is very useful 

I've seen some threads about this on /r/fuckyourheadlights and people have found some that worked for them.

I have astigmatism and bad night vision so I looked into these. From the reviews, it seems they don't help with night vision and in fact can make it worse. I wish though.

I think your best bet is to buy reflective tape and slap that all over your bumper/trunk. 

Cool temperature headlights on a classic car just don't do it for me. The warmer softer lights fit the vibe way better.

Forget the fact you're going to blind everyone with those.

Gotta love people that downgrade thinking their upgrading their headlights.

So much free information online about headlights and this still happens

From focused beams to shitting light everywhere. You’ll be blinding everyone on the road and if you’re ever honest with yourself you’ll realize they don’t really work very well at putting light on the road in front of you. It’s just lit up the ceiling and the walls. Better headlights would illuminate the same area as the dim ones, but better. They’re not supposed to light up the whole room. This is just dangerous.

I hope it was headlight units, and not just off the shelf LEDs. Good to see everything, but not great to he blinding the oncoming traffic

Looks like an MGA! I bought a basket case 1959 MGA last year. It is my favourite body style ever. But all I can do is look at it occasionally for the next few years until I finish the 71 240Z that’s on the rotisserie now.

Also interested in what lights you went with. I am starting to stockpile parts.

I appreciate your research🫡

Nice, any links?

Thought of installing them in my car too but gave up as it needed slight alteration in the headlights' electrical wiring (installation of relays, fuses etc). LED bulbs are excellent for projector lenses but when installed in reflector housings the light goes all over the place. Thats why most cars here have blinding headlights as they are using LED bulbs in reflector housings.

Auxleds and Novsight are two popular LED bulb companies. Suggest look them up.

It depends on the Watt of the LED lights. If you go really high then there is a strap for heat dissipation. Don’t modify the headlights your car has. Just get like 300 Watt LEDs and it should do the trick.

I am in the same boat. I have decided to retrofit a good set of OEM Bixenon projectors that are easily available from scrapyards. However, finding ones in a decent condition is a challenge.

Anything from Aliexpress or Daraz is guaranteed to be crap. Those cheap LEDS and projectors are for people who don't know about beam pattern, hotspot, cutoff, width, foreground lightning, and gradient.

The only good LED lights that are proven to be good are all American brands and cost 100s of dollars brand new, without shipping and taxes. GTR Lighting Ultra or Morimoto 2 Strokes are a couple of examples.

I have no idea about Novsight or Auxleds, since I haven't personally tested them myself or seen a review by someone knowledgeable.

HID or LED projectors retrofits are a practical solution, but it requires either time/expertise or a lot of money.

try this maybe? https://www.facebook.com/reel/582112207928059/?rdid=U5Lsqgw8zxMA9Mmc

Ive put in Auxleds. They have a perfect cutoff in normal light, not blinding anyone at all. Superb to have light but not bother anyone.

Full beam I use to make people shut their full beam. Best chal rha

These headlights and taillights are a huge upgrade.

.2 right? Wondered about these (a lot)…. Better than bi-xenons?

I was wondering about the Morimoto… the reviews seemed to indicate that some had issues with error codes after the installation. No issues for you it seems? I just got my new-to-me 2010 997.2 Cab 2S and am wondering whether I should upgrade the headlights at some point. I made a few other mods but brighter headlights would be nice

Love those rims.

As an aside, how do you like the gt3 and what was your previous car? I’ve always thought about making the big leap.

I picked these up off eBay and like them. Regular bulbs not LED. Thinking about putting in new main bulbs as well. The amber bulbs were so old that the amber coloring had cooked itself off.

Also updated the bulbs in the fog lights. Overall things feel good and bright.

I have an '04 4.0L and I'm also looking for new lights. I'm still using my stock lights 21yrs later and they are so worthless at night (I did out led spot lights on my headache rack but that's for driving in the country at night) I'd rather not get LEDs and blind people, what's the next best option?

Don’t have any recommendations for ya but just don’t put LED bulbs in your stock housings. That’s how you blind other drivers. If you go the LED lights, you should get housings specifically for them.

CAPA certified headlights. Mine have held up great.

OEM headlights are almost always the way to go. So if yours are original, just restore them.

Sand them down removing all the old surface damage, step up the grits to a polishable level, and re-clear.

The main killer of all headlights is the intense heat output from halogen bulbs. I went through two sets fading and peeling within a year before I decided it was time for LEDs. Of course, you shouldn’t put LEDs bulbs in the stock housings so I went with the LED protector headlights from Z-off-road. Very pleased with the quality on these.

I got the cheapest ones on Amazon and they’re fine two years later 🤷‍♂️

I've had good luck with TYC brand
