    I'm not talking about those cheap Chinese led bulbs. I'm talking about factory equip cars with led projectors.

    Nope, paid enough for my retros, going to milk those bitches til the end. Besides, I hang out at the old malls, and there we still use incandescent bulbs in big round housings, none of that LED crap. ;)

    Agree that if I was looking now, would seriously consider an LED retro, but, at the time LED wasn't a decent known alternative.

    Now, the LED bulbs on the other hand, are about as effective as the HID bulbs in the reflector housings were......

    The integra housing is pretty deep. I was able to out the whole led projector in it. Nothing sticking out of the back. My scooter was a hack job. That was the first time doing led. And the back of the housing is wide open almost. With the led heatsink sticking out of the back. I'm sure I can do your headlights. I might have to make a plate to hold up the led.
