Reply To: LED Headlight Bulbs?

[Gregory Long]

My experiences are different than Bill’s..

With very good reflectors, and good clear lenses in my Series 80 touring, I CAN see the road reasonably well

when i’m out in the country, with no oncoming traffic.

BUT when just one modern car, with even weak modern headlights comes along, I cannot see hardly ANYTHING of the road in front of me..

I have used the 55w Halogen bulbs and while they are brighter, they really pull a lot of current.

I have a supply of 31cp extra bright bulbs that are the right focal length for the reflectors in the S80, and they do a pretty good job, until I encounter oncoming cars..

I think that regardless of the focal length and the shape of the reflector, since the S80 headlight reflectors have the feature of being adjusted for best focus, I’d be more than willing to try a 6v LED bulb if anyone can post a link to a bulb that is available..

I seem to only have found 12v LED bulbs when I have looked..
