LED Headlight Conversion - Delta

Back 2 years ago when I 1st got the Holleys' retro-brights I did visit Octane Lighting shopping for LEDs as they are local.
At that time, they did carry a couple of 5.75" LEDs, but all of their stock they carrried had a very deep depth that would have required
cutting/modifying the Mopar bucket for clearance. This was something I didn't want to do. So when I found the Holleys' @ SEMA and
confirmed their short depth, I searched the market for stock availability, didn't find any stock as everyone was sold out as Holley was the 1st to
have the shorter depth. I continued to search, contacted Holley and they suggested I contact this specific auto-parts distributor
in the east. I did talk at length with the distributor, and they offered me a very special promo price with deep discounts so I bought them.
I did fabricate a custom wiring adapter and have been running them without any reliability issues for almost 2 years.

Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:
 
I used the black ones below in my 72. They are great lights and DOT legal. These are a different looking light so all depends what you are looking for in the looks department. I attached a picture of what they look like when they are on and off. I rewired the entire car so low and high are all 4 lights but they would connect into the OEM wiring. You do have to modify the headlight buckets to make them fit.

My preference for LED headlights was to use the Holley Retro-brights, note there are cheaper options
but many require modifying the headlight mounting bucket to accomodate their depth. The Holley LEDs have a
wide dispersion without the bright hot spots from the OE incadescents. Also LEDs draw about 25% of the
current compared to the OE incadescents so no wire or relay mods are required.
Just my $0.02.... :thumbsup:

Thanks for the input. I've been looking at the Holley's but they don't have the Halo type that I am looking for. The Delta's do but there hasn't been anyone that has responded to this post that has used them. They are extremely expensive but appear to be a quality product.
