For high beams I would do LED so they are instantly bright and don't have to warm up like HID. Especially to flash
look up this seller on eBay, I have ordered numerous bulbs from him with good luck and super fast shipping..seller:dt-autotech

I checked his whole list of products....no LED HEADLIGHT bulbs that will work with our cars. Has a ton of DRL and other light bulbs listed.

I emailed him to ask....


Do the LED bulbs just wire right up to my 2-wire factory power wires?

So just cut and splice them in....?

Will the bulbs mount behind and into my factory glass square lenses....?

I'm not familiar with the T/A headlights, if you still have the OEM H4701 sealed beams it will not plug and play. I would think you have to replace them with headlights that accept a replacement bulb.

Well I just remembered that when my friend bought me this HID kit for a xmas gift years ago it also came with two new glass lens housings. In the back it just has an opening with a metal tension clip. My H7 HID's fit perfectly in the hole and the clip holds them in tight and sealed.

So can you tell me which LEDs to buy that will work with my high beams..........when I buy those same glass lens housings to use in my high beam slots.

Thanks....

....and thanks for telling me about the high beams using HIDs will have to warm up and the LEDs are instant ON.......I actually never thought of that.
