Another benefit is less load on the stock wire and Headlight switch, which was a notorious issue for Ford for about 30 years, they always undersized their headlight lead wiring, LED draws alot less so even with the smaller guage wiring it does wonders. Later Trucks were more well known for headlight wiring fires, but even on Dents it was the same switching system.
Yeah it tends to be a fairly hot topic, alot if people used to run a relay system off the power wire and then lead fused power from the battery with a larger wire to feed the old sealed beams, this is actually what modules for HID do nowdays, same base concept. 👍
Absolutely Amazing. I want some for my Traxxas RC 1979 Bronco. Because that's all the Nanny State of Texas will allow me to drive. Anyone that treats me like a punk gets knocked out.
I do love what LEDs have done for vehicle lighting. It is so nice being able to see. We put ones that have the halos and turn signals on the Vanagon. It does look pretty cool.
Absolutely. I was thinking of getting some of them and testing them after I saw them on the Vanagon. There is a ton of vehicles that run the 7" round headlights. I need to come down and check out the ones on it in the dark and see how the beam on them is.
Hell yes brother, You will not be disappointed. The drivability at night time just got so much better. One of the better upgrades. Also thank you I will get back to cranking out the videos
Hey brother i enjoy your channel! I got a 79 F150 ranger that was my great uncles and I’m fixing it up, and I’m looking for headlights thank you for sharing!
I love them for sure!!! But do they make the round ones for a 1969 Chevy?? I’ve been definitely wanting to upgrade all my lights to LED lights!! But the price of some of them are just out rages & im definitely not wanting to spend over like 50 to 75$ but I probably can spare another 10 or 15$ ea if they are definitely brighter!! Awesome video buddy!!
They do have some round ones and I'm going to pick some up for my earlier fords and see how they work bud. There are several out there and they are all pretty close on the cost. Some may be cheaper but then you have high shipping and handling. Thanks for checking out the video bud :)
@@nathanarmendariz5606 Thank you so much. I'll pick up some round one soon and throw them on Stim Check because its scary to drive that thing at night now. I really needs that upgrade.
Hah! What sort of violent monster installs Phillips trim screws with an impact gun?! The headlights look pretty good. I'd be interested in comparison shots of how they compare with the old ones for distance down the road, not necessarily brightness up close.
I am a monster lol, Yeah the impact was a bit over kill but do to pacing for the video I didn't want to use a normal screw driver. As for the comparison with the old one for distance down the road I thought I had covered that @8:45 but if that's not what your meaning then let me know what you want to see for distance. Thank you.
@@PaperBeatsRock Thanks for pointing that out. I went back and watched that section again. It is a pretty good comparison there. I guess, mostly it's just hard to tell without being there in person. I have a cheap set of LED headlights, the ones with multiple rows of a bunch of small LEDs and I'm pretty unhappy with them. They are very bright, but don't project light out far enough to really feel ok at higher speeds. I've been considering the type you got as an alternative that may work better, trying to avoid spending on the JW Speaker ones that everyone seems to universally like.
@@cwegga I said something on the video but didn't point it out enough. The LED headlights with the multiple rows are just Off road lights built to only flood the area with light. They just took out the middle normal leds and added hi beam that flood even more. So they don't achieve any deeper vision because there is no focused light. I'm going to be doing a review on some 7" round headlights from the same manufacture as the 5x7s I got. They are a knock off of the JW Speaker headlights but I really don't want to spend $300 plus on headlights. I may do a side by side review of some down the road. Anyway the depth of view is pretty damn good and at no times when I was going from 25mph - 65mph+ did I ever feel like I couldn't see enough ahead of me. Granted also this is coming off the halogen and it was kinda scary driving at night with them. Hope this helps bud and if you have any other questions I'll be happy to help out.
@@PaperBeatsRock Yeah, I just went out to the garage and checked. Mine aren't DOT marked. I'll have to move up replacing them. They were from the PO who seemed to really like cheap LEDs. Within the first year or so, I had to replace the failing dome light, dash light, and marker light LEDs with good old incandescents. Bonus, I was able to remove the electrical tape blocking the high beam indicator because with the correct bulb in there it isn't blindingly bright. I also kinda like the goo green stock illumination of the gauges. When I replace mine, I could send them to you and you can do a video on why they aren't good. XD
@@cwegga Dude that would be great stuff. Ill hook you up with a tee shirt for doing so. Just let me know when you get your new ones in and mail the old ones over and I'll send a shirt your way just need your size
Any update on how they are holding up any faults lights stop working?? I have a 79 used for recovery off road n floods been struggling with light output from factory lights
No upgrades to the harness. 100% plug and play and it actually draws way fewer watts because they are LED and that really helps with the crappy wiring that is in these older ford trucks.
Hey man, just wondering would any 5x7 work for these trucks? I have a 78 and need some new ones but I don’t want to waste my money on a pair labeled 5x7 that don’t fit.
Wally, Great think about is you don't. The upgrade is actually better for your system. I'm going to quote my friend Craig on this one "Another benefit is less load on the stock wire and Headlight switch, which was a notorious issue for Ford for about 30 years, they always undersized their headlight lead wiring, LED draws a lot less so even with the smaller gauge wiring it does wonders. Later Trucks were more well known for headlight wiring fires, but even on Dentsides, it was the same switching system." If you have more questions we will be more than happy to talk.
@@PaperBeatsRock I appreciate the reply and good knowledge to soak in. I know that LED headlights would do wonders for all of these trucks. I had always seen the headlight harness as an extra feature to purchase. I just hadn’t dug into the subject any deeper until now. Have a great day and doing a really good job with your channel.
@@wbj1984 Thank you a ton bud. I always encourage everyone to do some research and find what's best for them. I have look at other products before these and there is a lot of junk ones out there.
For the love of Christ people, properly angle your headlights! I nor anyone else, want to be blinded when driving at night because you’re too dumb to care about yourself and other people.

Hell yes, brother. That is one of the bigger questions I get messages about and I'm glad you hit this up.

Installed these and just drove around on my 78 bronco. Boy do these lights light up the night!
Absolutely Amazing.
I want some for my Traxxas RC 1979 Bronco.
Because that's all the Nanny State of Texas will allow me to drive.
Anyone that treats me like a punk gets knocked out.
Wow dude I'm sold I was hesitant about putting LEDs on my 79 but after seeing this video I'm definitely doing it
HOLY MOLY!!!! what an incredible difference. A very smart upgrade.
100% absolutely. for the amount of money we put into our trucks, this is a very smart upgrade for your money.
I do love what LEDs have done for vehicle lighting. It is so nice being able to see. We put ones that have the halos and turn signals on the Vanagon. It does look pretty cool.

Cool !! Getting me a pair for my 80 Bronco!!! Good to see ya brother!! Was missing ya in the Tube!!
Peace and love my friend!!!

Those thing rock. Great lights look very old school. Might put on my 87 e 150
sold on h4 headlight upgrade on my 78 bronco!
Hey brother i enjoy your channel! I got a 79 F150 ranger that was my great uncles and I’m fixing it up, and I’m looking for headlights thank you for sharing!
Just ordered some for my ol 79 Ranger
Wow what a difference nice job man
Thank you so much. Yeah, I was blown away by how much better they are.
I wish I had those headlights (& the Bronco to go with them).
Yeah, when I was editing up the video I was amazed by the side by side. I knew they were a lot better but damn.
Yeah!! I was dying for a new video. Awesome content!! AD-DEEM!!2🤗🤓
Thank you so much. :)
man those are so sweet! Nice video
Thank you so much bud. They are a very solid upgrade for any build and make life a lot better when driving home.
I'm going to order a set for my 83 bronco
They are 100% worth it. The quality of life when driving your bronco at night goes from sketch to OMG daylight.
Lookin good bud! Keep up the good work.
Thank you bud. I really do appreciate it.
I love them for sure!!! But do they make the round ones for a 1969 Chevy?? I’ve been definitely wanting to upgrade all my lights to LED lights!!

@@PaperBeatsRock outstanding. I am going to wait to pick up some round ones for my 75 until you review them. Great video and content as usual!
@@nathanarmendariz5606 Thank you so much. I'll pick up some round one soon and throw them on Stim Check because its scary to drive that thing at night now. I really needs that upgrade.
I need to get led headlights for my bronco
They are a game-changer for driving at night. so worth it.
Just curious are those legal to have in Texas and do the exceed the lumen regulation

Appreciate this video. How have they held up for you?
They are amazing and I end up using them on any truck that has these square headlights.
What brand are this headlights, pretty cool man.
They are a knock off brand. link for them is in the description.
Any update on how they are holding up any faults lights stop working?? I have a 79 used for recovery off road n floods been struggling with light output from factory lights
they have been a pretty solid headlight. no problems as of yet.
Think these would fit my 79 F150 custom?
If you have the rectangle bulbs, yes.
@@PaperBeatsRock cool, gonna save these for later haha thanks man
did you upgrade the wiring harness to, any issues by not upgrading it?
No upgrades to the harness. 100% plug and play and it actually draws way fewer watts because they are LED and that really helps with the crappy wiring that is in these older ford trucks.
@@PaperBeatsRock thanks
Hey man, just wondering would any 5x7 work for these trucks? I have a 78 and need some new ones but I don’t want to waste my money on a pair labeled 5x7 that don’t fit.
Anything that runs 5x7 square headlights they will work on. The kit come with multiple adapters if your headlights are not the normal 3 prong
Will you need to replace the factory headlight harness with a thicker harness for this conversion?
Wally, Great think about is you don't. The upgrade is actually better for your system. I'm going to quote my friend Craig on this one

Will they fit a 1985 bronco?
what brand are they?
what.is.that.music you used...
Can't figure out why my high beams don't work. Lol
The light output is great, but they look too futuristic and out of place...
