LED Headlights?

LED Headlights?
Have any of you tried LED headlight bulbs? Apparently, they are very, very hot. They run so hot that they include a 10,000 RPM fan, and you can use them underwater!

I recently installed the Beamtech LEDs with the fan. The housing of the lights without the fan was too big for the wire locking mechanism. Im satisfied....Im not sure if the fan speed hits 10k rpm but it is very quiet and the low light LEDs are a huge improvement over the factory bulbs. The high beam LEDs are weak as sh*t tho.

The locking mechanism (you're right, it is a PITA for oversized bulbs), is thin enough to be bent and twisted. So I basically shaped it so it fits over the fan. The dust cap you'll need to invert to make it fit over the fan.

I put HID on a couple of other cars, and I wouldn't do it again. Too many parts. Too many things to go wrong, and if one part fails, you don't have a headlight, and the police notice that.

I used fanless LEDs from Superbright LEDs. They run much cooler than the halogen bulbs that I was using before. The heat sink gets warm, but not too hot to touch. I'm delighted (no pun intended) with them. The DRLs even work with them.
It's not that the LEDs run that hot, but that LEDs can't handle the kind of heat that incandescent bulbs can without failure.

I depends on the LED unit. The ones I use duplicate the location of the filaments of an HB2 lamp and produce a nice sharp cutoff on low beam. I’ve been using them for over three months and haven’t been “flashed” by traffic yet.
