Free LED headlights for three lucky people.

[CatsRock]

I wondered about the legality of running red lights on the front like that… It doesn’t seem like a great Idea, but if I understand it correctly the color is more or less infinitely adjustable. I have seen something like these on a few different colored cars where the lights matched the car and it looked pretty good. Those cars were parked at a show, and not being operated on the street. I suppose you could put a switch on them. I do think that these would be fun combined with the electric headlight motors… kind of a big cat opening it’s very sinister looking eyes, but that might just be my imagination working overtime.

Don’t know about other states but FL doesn’t allow red or blue as stated below.

(1) No person shall drive or move or cause to be moved any vehicle or equipment upon any highway within this state with any lamp or device thereon showing or displaying a red or blue light visible from directly in front thereof except for certain vehicles hereinafter provided.

For use on one of our cats the colored lights need to be green. Only a demon cat would have red anyway.

Any update on these? Wondering if they are a straight up bolt in or if the buckets need to be modified.

Glad someone bumped this thread. I was just driving home from the grocery store wishing I had better headlights and wondering if I’d missed the contest.

[Mike_from_NH]

I’m glad too, missed the original discussion completely. But maybe someone realized colored lights on hide-a-ways wasn’t the smartest product line?

[Lxg44]

Lets try this again…Any update on the contest or the availability of these?

Looks like the vendor has had some second thoughts. I now have a list of what they can provide and as soon as I finish the ROTM I will start working through how we can change the contest to make this work.

Thank you for the update. Are they available for sale yet?

Any new info on direct fit LED headlights?

I have been wanting to do LED headlights on the 67 XR7. I would do it. 67’s in the shop now waiting for warmer weather.

I think the easiest/most fair way to go is to draw names/VINs from a hat for each model year range. I don’t think there is anyone on this forum that doesn’t trust you to do a legitimate drawing, at least none I am aware of. If the draw is done in an above board manner then there should not be any exclusion of past club volunteers. Most club volunteers do not get enough recognition and swag for their efforts and they should not be excluded because of that.
I do think that their should be an installation time frame and condition of car. The company donating these want to have them installed and functioning with pictures in hand so they can use them for promotional purposes. I’m sure they have some ideas on when they need to go to press with the completed kits. They will also want to see them being promoted on cars that look like they are in good usable shape, not on a car that can not turn a wheel under it’s own power, or has no completion time before the deadline (whatever that will be).
This modification is probably not going to be done on a concours car, but I would think their market is going to be resto-mods, occasional drivers, and daily drivers looking for a safety upgrade.

Agreed, on all counts.

Are these the headlights? https://www.npdlink.com/product/bulbs-led-conversion-by-delta-tech-lighting-5/195985?backurl=search%2Fproducts%3Fsearch_terms%3DLED%26top_parent%3D210001%26year%3D1967&year=1967

Looks like it’s over $600 to get a set of 4.

I’m still tempted to try to the high/low set to see if they fit the headlight buckets without modifications.

Also, came across these sideview mirrors while searching LEDs on the NPD site: https://www.npdlink.com/product/bulbs-led-conversion-by-delta-tech-lighting-5/195985?backurl=search%2Fproducts%3Fsearch_terms%3DLED%26top_parent%3D210001%26year%3D1967&year=1967

I don’t really care for the LEDs in the mirror, but I like the price. Does anyone know if they fit the same holes as the stock mirrors?

This is the information I am looking for! Thanks JETEXAS! I am about to start a grille replacement project and want to use LED headlights as part of the project. Not interested in the contest as much as information on a direct fit LED replacement headlight. So two questions:

1:Are these the headlights they are offering as a direct fit for the contest?
2:Has anyone installed these and do they fit with minor or no modifications to the bucket?

Thanks

PS JETEXAS the second link in your post is the same as the first link not to a mirror.
