Yes Martin they are. They are designed specifically to work in the H4 housing and look just like stock.

Re: 6V LED Headlight Replacement
Jules, I will be ordering a pair of yours next week, just too busy with Car Week, are you in Monterey? I didn't see them on the website, send me the info on the 6 volt headlights.

Re: 6V LED Headlight Replacement
Hey Steve, they are in production but not ready to ship just yet. I will add your name to the list and work that off before I put them online. I did not make it to Monterey regretfully. I was all set, house, passes etc but something unexpected came up and prevented me from going. Have fun! My parking and admission passes were put to good use!
Hope to see everyone at the Paso Robles WCH next month!

Re: 6V LED Headlight Replacement
Jules, Yes to WCH and Paso Robles, should be an outstanding event, just being on the Central Coast makes for a great weekend. You should also plan on coming to the North South, Cambria Pines Resort, first full weekend in May 2023.
I was out this evening getting gas in the 356, and while the halogen H-4s headlights are pretty good, there is no comparison to the ones in 993, HID with projectors low beams from Tore, and LED High beams, both High and Low come on and put out like 12,000 lumens. And the light control is very good, making it easy to see a long distance away. Are LEDs sensitive to voltage like the halogen, most bulbs are rated at 6.2 volts, and if the "running voltage" is bumped up to 7.2 -7.4 volts the H-4s get much brighter, just wondering about LEDs?.

Re: 6V LED Headlight Replacement
Hi Steve, NMS will be put on the agenda as well great excuse to get out of Phoenix!
The LEDs will be full brightness from just under 5.5v to 8v, so no difference in brightness between idling at a stop light or running the twisties.

Re: 6V LED Headlight Replacement
Any update on time frame Jules? I thought I read somewhere a couple of weeks away and that was a few weeks ago. Thanks James

James,
I have them ready and am working off the list as I have sets ready to ship. The only way I could think of doing this in a fair way. You will be up shortly
