You can use a Cebie glass housing & install any H4 bulb , I have tried both HID & LED , LED Rules , fantastic lighting , lower power draw too

I tried H4s and LEDs and wasn't completely satisfied. The H4 draws a lot of power, although quite bright, and I didn't use them because I was worried using the original wiring. I have 2 different sets of H4 reflectors and couldn't get an adequate alignment with the LEDs, again the LEDs are absolutely quite bright.

I have the standard halogen bulbs with relays like Wild RT mentioned and the headlights are actually quite good. Every other light when the headlights are turned on is an LED except the headlights, the total power draw is excellent with the stock system. There is no discharge at idle in gear.

what # bulbs did you find for the dash light?

Get the lens with the metal reflector cans and glass lens instead of the plastic version. I am running relay kit made by Crackedback (member). It is all plug and play. I am using H4 for high beam and LED for low beam. All LEDs are not equal, get the ones with focused light pattern instead of the type that has LED diodes all around. There are a lot of reviews on YouTube.

My dash bulbs are green BA9s. They can be dimmed.

thanks

I use H4 wrangler lights with LEDs. The pattern isn't great but they work out pretty well. I never bothered wiring in headlight relays since I planned to use LED.

Did you actually use these?  Would like some 1st hand experience.
This set looks pretty good at a great price if they work.

I agree with wild r/t. I installed the halogen bulbs 25 years ago and finally did the relay install this year. They work great and at almost 70 years old I try to avoid driving at night.

I use the LED bulbs in my Caravan & I love them , my reflectors are different but there is no reason this cannot work well in a round reflector

[BIGSHCLUNK]

Did the relay's and the video...... blah blah blah..... works great
