LED Headlamps on a Series ??

[vkjar]

I have the new Warn LED auxiliary lights on my F350 they are great an as bright as most out there. The big issue I have Found is if you drive during the shoulder seasons where slushy snow rain etc freezes to them they do not generate enough heat like halogens do to melt the ice and keep them clear. As main headlights that could pose an issue.

I've got a 22" LED light bar sitting on my shelf. Been there since February. Maybe one day I'll get around to installing it.

From what I've seen riding with others, the light bars bring all kinds of epic win. If you find yourself on dark lit, desolate roads often, then this is quite the investment.

However I try to avoid driving after dark. Things just don't go my way when the sun goes down.

Any issues with pattern coverage in a Series II/IIa with the inboard headlights?

What about LED's as AUX lighting?

Yes,
I have the Truck-Lite 27270C headlights on my Series 3. LOVE them! Over the years I did all the improvements to the headlights to make them more effective but still when I installed the LED headlights the difference was worlds apart. You still have the same depth of light on the road in front of you but it's the spread that makes the huge difference, you can clearly see objects in the ditch to the right and you can see so much more of the left hand lane. Even if you have properly adjusted H4 headlights before the conversion, you still need to get these babies adjusted as they do aim lower. We found that 2 full turns of the horizontal screw brought them inline. Oh and the light color is more pleasing for the eyes.

Here's a youtube clip I did with them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=LyehcOie5TE

As for the LED light bars, I have 4 x 18W light bars mounted on the roll cage plus 2 x 36W light bars mounted in front of the grill. The smaller 18W LED light bars are more effective in my eyes as they allowed me to adjust the spread of light to where I want it. Where as the 36W LED light bars give a more focused light in front of the landy.

These light bars, it has to be remembered that they are not replacements for driving lights as their light depth is too short even their "spot" beams. BUT as trail lights they are awesome, they light everything around you when your traversing a tight trail at night.
