Aloha Scottie , your timing is so on point with my rebuild. I just got everything to rebuild my doors and I was going to do a video but you got it covered. I’m so grateful we both are restoring and converting a 73 vw bus into electric at the same time 5,000 miles apart. Happy building
Scotty, this an exciting and educative video, I think many owners of VW T2 buses would like this video, I wish you and the family a Merry 2023 🎄🎄Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year 2024🍀🍀🇺🇸 but above all stay safe and healthy and take care, Greetings. Hubertus☮🇳🇴🇳🇱🙏🏻🍀🇺🇸
Good eye. I am planning on a doing a video on these at some point, but since it may take a while, this is the link to the product. www.roughcountry.com/product/jeep-led-headlights-rch5000. They are brighter than stock for sure and are a little more efficient. Like more expensive options, these have a 3 year warranty - which means they are probably built way better than an $80 amazon special.
@@FixItScotty Thanks. Would be interesting to know their power draw. Finished my lights wiring today and a pair of stock headlights draw ~10A @ 13VDC. Would be nice to cut some of this fat down if possible.
@@ruggedplus According to the specs, these LED headlights are 40 watts on low beam / 60 watts on high beam. Divide by 12, there's your amperage. So, for the pair, that's 80 watts to your 130 watts. Almost a 4 amp savings. Not a ton more efficient, but they are also brighter too.
Great video Scotti and nice to see the bus again. I have a feeling I will be watching this one again in the future 👍

That is very cool - I'm glad we aren't doing this on our own too.. If I missed anything in my video, let me know. Good luck on your doors!!

Hubertus, thank you. You have a Merry Christmas too.
Giant thumbs up! I learned a lot!
Glad to see the bus again.
great info, thank you!
Looks awesome! Mind sharing info of your new headlights? Are they more power efficient than the stock?

Shop is way too clean!
😄 Yes, I had just finished rebuilding my garage. We'll see how long it stays clean! Thanks for watching.
