ajharris35 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Looks good. Im thinking about going the led route myself. Just cant get around how dull the stock headlights are on the DJ. If you don't mind my asking what kit did you go with. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Welcome to the forum. If you had to adjust the aim, the light source is in the wrong place for the reflector and your high beams will be too low. Note too, that LED and HID conversions are not technically street legal.Yes, Halogen bulbs are a lower colour temperature than overly white bulbs, but they work just fine.For my part I went for lumens, rather than tint in my ride and installed HIR bulbs which work perfectly in the reflector (yes, you do need to trim the bulb tab to allow them to be installed) and they don't require re-aiming. But even though technically they too are not street legal (because they aren't approved as an assembly with the reflector) no one will ever be able to tell that it's been modified without pulling out the bulbs and looking at the part numbers.

dhh3 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I just saw an ad for Phillips, and they make an LED equivalent for all the incandescent/halogen bulbs on our DJ. I punched in my zip code to find out where to buy them, and all the stores listed are closed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigunclejethro Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I haven't experience this myself, but I have been advised to stay away from direct drop in LED's as they get hotter than standard bulbs and can melt connectors. Those look great though, and I hope I'm wrong! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
