Hi,
When I built my Ulsteroid some years ago there wasn't quite so much concern about originality so when it came to headlights I bought some brass spinnings and made up my own using the reflector part only (not the glass) from a classic mini.
This means the bulb holder is designed for an H4 bulb and at the moment I have conventional 6-volt tungsten filament bulbs fitted.
I would like to fit LED bulbs to reduce the current required, especially as I am still on a 6-volt system and have seen some bulbs on e-bay which are 6-volt and dipping. (See https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H4-LED-ATV-Mo...3052998507).
These are very cheap by comparison with some I have seen which are specifically aimed at vintage cars so am I missing something?
Any advice would be appreciated.
John.
