head light upgrade to led

Just wondering if anyone with a land yacht has upgraded their headlights to a LED system? If so, what did you use, and where to buy?

Not sure that LED headlights would be an improvement. At least not in a visual performance way. The idea of LED headlights has been discussed on various motorcycle forums. The general consensus is that LED headlights don't provide any marked improvement in lighting power (lumens) and in most cases it was less along with a distorted beam pattern. Personally I wouldn't do it. Good quality halogen bulbs are your best bet.

I resemble that remark🤔...

The AS B/U lights.👍

I've also replaced all the Burb exterior bulbs with LED's
from here... Hi/Lo, fog, driving and all signal lamps. Huge improvement.

Are you bulb or seal beam?

Marker, turn and brake lights are good candidates for LED. They're brightness or beam pattern is not critical and the longevity/durability makes gives them an advantage. Headlights, not so much. If sealed beams you may be stuck either way.

My headlights are very bright as is but I am considering changing my lower driving lights to LED. Already changed my front marker lights and rear tail lights last year.
