Possible LED headlight group buy
Hi guys
I don't know how much interest there is in new technology here, but we've been selling LED headlights for about 18 months now. We fairly
recently took on what I think are about the best looking 7" headlights on the market which we stock with either a black or chrome fascia (chrome
currently out of stock). These aren't cheap, we've been selling them for £324.99 a pair (still the cheapest in UK I believe), I have just
one pair left in the black finish. They come with a built in halo ring which does both DRL & indicator, these work in the correct way, in that DRL
turns off with dip beam (providing you wire them correctly!) & when using the indicator the DRL goes off & reinstates after about 1/2 a
second. These are a massive 2800 lumen low beam, 3700 high beam (about 3 to 4 times the light output of a typical halogen) & throw a flat dip
beam pattern, fine for UK MoT. If we can get a group of at least 10 together then I can do these for£280 a pair + P & P - yes I know it's a
lot of money, but it is nice to see where you are going at night & the bright DRL's just might stop some moron turning across you! The 5
& 3/4" units are a fair bit cheaper ..........

We will be reordering these from our Taiwan supplier shortly & they now offer both an alternative 7" unit & a 5 & 3/4" unit I
thought there might be a group buy opportunity if I can get sufficient interest. The alternative 7" unit is a whopping 75W with a lumens output
of 4500 main, 3450 dip, it doesn't have the halo, but has built in DRL/indicator top & bottom, again flat dip beam pattern- it's
slightly cheaper & if we get a group buy together then I can do these at £265 a pair + P & P (they will be retailing at around £310)
[img]
[/img] [img]
[/img] [img]
[/img]
Finally the 5 & 3/4" units, which are the best price & probably of most interest to you guys, as I'm sure there must be plenty of
you with 5 & 3/4" lights who can't see where the road is at night! These again have the halo ring which does DRL & amber
indicator. Dip beam is 2400 lumen, main is 3850, again a flat dip beam pattern. All of these lights have been submitted for DoT approval (the 75W has
E mark & DoT approval, the others are new & DoT not yet granted, not that it matters for UK use). These I can do at £199 + P & P on the
group buy (retail around £230)
[img]
[/img] [img]
[/img] [img]
[/img] [img]
[/img]
If we get a group buy together I will need a 40% deposit up front for these lights, I can't afford to have loads of stock I may not want, we are
still testing the water with these. Delivery should be around 6 weeks from time of deposit, we ship air mail, not sea, but suppliers usually want 35 -
40 days to get the order sorted in - don't ask me why, it's just the way things work in the far East! If any of that sounds a bit wobbly
or like a scam, I'm quite sure there are sufficient people on here who have dealt with me & know my reputation.
The lights carry a one year RTB warranty (that's RTB to me, for you guys, NOT Tawian!), but have an expected life of 50,000 hours, of the LED
headlights we've sold we have not had one single failure to date.
I'm away on hols for 2 weeks as from Mon 27th Apr, but should be able to access the internet from time to time & I have a colleague who may
be able to help, so please register your interest or ask any questions & I'll get back to you when I can. I would like to get the order in
to them as soon as possible on my return (May 11) & won't be asking for any deposits until I have confirmed timings/prices etc

They are intended as replacements for existing units, so yes "bring your own bowl" - I should have mentioned there are a few more pics in
my archive, but I don't have any attached to a 7 or similar.

they look interesting,... I have the standard cheap plastic bowl in my Fury le mans bonnet, would these still fit?
Are they available as for fitment to Land Rover Defender,. they have round headlights?
Are there any issues with MOT as there are with HID?

To the best of my knowledge the 7" & 5 & 3/4" respectively will fit anything which currently has 7" or 5 & 3/4"
circular headlamp units or sealed beams. We've certainly had no complaints of the 7" units not fitting, I guess there may be the odd case
where a minor mod or adjustment is required, but they should be pretty much plug 'n' play, they come with a male H4 plug which will go
direct to existing headlight connector in most cases. So shoukld fit Fury or Defender.
Re the MoT :-
from the Mot Testers manual
"Vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) or LED dipped beam headlamps MAY be fitted with headlamp washers and a suspension or
headlamp self levelling system. Where such systems are fitted, they must work;"
In plain English if the systems aren't fitted they aren't testable items, so no problems with MoT

Defiantly interested in the black 5 3/4, that have the angel eye, DRL and the indicator all in one unit. Any chance you can also supply the head lamp
bowls?

No, definitely a post IVA fit, I believe you would have to show they are 2000 lumens or less for IVA (which they aren't) or you get into the
issue about needing headlamp wash & self levelling

I knew it was a bad idea coming on this site...
I actually really like the middle one with the creepy spiders eye’s, I’m very tempted to get those for my old landy as these look just evil. I could
easily sell a few things next week to pay for them…£265 a pair + P & P? I take it these would pass MOT??

Yes, should be no problems at MoT as they are a flat top dip beam pattern.

Hi Howard
The Le-Mans bonnet for my fury is in storage at the moment, so I can't quickly get to it to measure up - can you please help me?
Are our lights 5 or 7", and do you think a 7" light could go in there?
If so, I am definitely on for the turbo nutter 3450 lumens dip, 4200 main. I like the idea of blinding the ISS.
I can concur that the light given out by fury lamps is dangerous at its worst.
And to Russ's other point, I and many others would vouch for him - top chap and totally passionate. I'm also going to go for the Lithium
battery when I can as part of my pathological approach for lightness and reduction in polar moment of inertia.
I wonder how much lighter these units are, if they are
Thanks

I'm 90% certain the Fury has 7" lights as does anything similar like the Stylus, if they are the same size as the Classic Mini/Escort then
defo 7" & thanks for the vote of confidence!

Sorry, something I should have said back at the start, if any of you use the Haynes/Westfield/lotus or any similar forums, if it is legit to post
group buys on there then please put a link to this. I already have a couple of other interested parties who've emailed/u2u'd me, so I
think it's looking very likely this could go ahead & the discounts are well worth having!

Mark.
I have measured the hole the bowl fits through... approx 4 3/4" and the front fixing ring is approx 6". I don't think that there is
space for the 7" lamps under the covers, so I conclude that it takes the smaller 5 3/4" fitment.
Russ,
How soon do I need to commit to a purchase?
Thanks
