prondzy 3,867 #1 Posted January 30, 2019 Does anyone have before and after pics of HL5 lights with leds installed? How much more light do they cast over a filament bulb? Im working on a project and am trying to decide HL5 or aftermarket lights. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,865 #2 Posted January 30, 2019 From someone who loves HL5 lights and owns quite a few here is my take on them. I only use them because they are the correct light for that period tractor and nothing else looks better on them. However as far as lighting efficiency goes they are not good. Light intensity and spread area is not good. That type of light is really a backup light, not really engineered for an efficient forward lighting unit. If actual good lighting for night use is your intent, then I suggest another modern type engineered for that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prondzy 3,867 #3 Posted January 30, 2019 Thanks @formariz, im not trying to see a 1/4 mile away its just a show cruiser. Im just wondering if putting an led inside makes the light a little brighter than stock or not and if someone has pictures of the light emitted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,761 #4 Posted January 30, 2019 I don't have pictures of the difference between the two types of bulbs, but the led bulbs are like night and day. You'd be amazed at the difference of the led bulbs. And the led bulbs won't cost what new fixtures will, and your tractor will retain it's originality. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
