squonk 38,942 #1 Posted June 29, 2017 $20 a pr from AutoZone. I had regular LED's in my 1267 but they really didn't cast out as much light as I needed for plowing at night. I was going to install Silverstar 1156's but then I saw these. Guy said if I didn't like them bring them back. Doesn't get real dark until late so here's an early morning shot in my back shed. I don't even have the engine running. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 16,950 #7 Posted June 29, 2017 I think a candle would be about as good as the factory lights. Now those led's look great. Hopefully they will last a while. Very nice Mike! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole area gets pretty hot from the exhaust itself. I turned the lights off and kept it running for a few min more and didn't feel that the lens area cooled at all so I would say the bulbs don't get hot. I will do more testing in the next few days. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,942 #9 Posted July 2, 2017 Ran the lights 10 min without the engine running. Lens stayed cool to the touch. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricF 589 #10 Posted July 2, 2017 Those are probably using the big metal base as a heatsink, which is in contact with the metal bulb socket, which is in contact with the sheetmetal of the hood... It might not even get warm to the touch. (LEDs can produce heat, but they radiate it back through the electronic components and leads, not the front that we think of as the "bulb".)

edgro 676 #11 Posted October 9, 2017 I recently put these on my plow tractor. They fit the hole, but were loose, so I shimmed with fuel line. I like these because the lens area is small, and it all shines thru the headlight bezel. My tractor now has brighter headlights than my car. bought on that auction site at a reasonable price. sorry don't have night photo 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,503 #13 Posted October 10, 2017 PAR 38 The PAR is the style of bulb - parabolic aluminized reflector 38 is the diameter in 8th's - 38 divided by 8 = 4.75 = 4-3/4" Just recently learned this about bulbs - slower learner Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
