Modern Headlights

Has anyone tried LED headlights from “flat six-illumination”? Requires 12 volt.

Easy to supply 12 volts even on a 6 volt car. Not so easy to justify the cost unless you plan on a lot of driving in the dark on badly lit roads. I was unsure of being able to justify when converting mine and the cost was about 10% of these.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

David,
IT is a safety issue for me. I want to see and be seen. Had a similar set installed on my 2000 Ford Lightning for more money...best purchase ever. At 73, eyes are not what they used to be.

Hi, yes I have the in my 356. They are very good. My car is a 356B T6 but heavily customized as an Emory Outlaw tribute. There is an image of my car on the flat 6 website.
