Thank you Mr Lucky. Amazing the products out today. When i was working on these cars 30 years ago wish we had 1/4 of what's out there today. Y'all today is the good ol days for hot rods.
WOW those look great!! nice job And Lucky is wearing shoes today, no "safety sandals"...LOL What are we to make of this! Keep up your awesomeness Lucky.
Adjusting the beam height without measuring equipment; by eye, on a wall or garage door, is a bit of a estimating process. Like that your beam focal points, *looks* low. While driving at night becomes the real test.
These new Holly, LED replacement “sealed” headlight bulbs for old school cars that require them are a total no-brainer. While their initial cost is high, Holly says they last six times longer than incandescent sealed beams. That means you can either buy 1 LED bulb or 6 incandescent bulbs for approximately the same amount of money. The new ones only need to be installed once, and because of their vastly increased light output, you’ll be able to drive at night with the same confidence as those driving modern vehicles. As you’d expect from Holly, they’re SAE, DOT, and California compliant. So as long as they’re properly adjusted, you can be confident you’re not blinding oncoming traffic… as long as you remember to turn off the highbeams. They come with a two-year warranty as well. I don’t work for Holly. I received no compensation for writing this. I don’t even own a pair. Everything came directly off of Holly’s website. If they were made by a company I never heard of or had no history with, I never would’ve bothered to write this. I know how important it is to see at night while driving.
I have these in my 66 Charger. They look perfect and provide some great light. The plus side is they are such much lighter and that makes the rotating assembly so much happier
Lucky I had the same truck back in the day and I wish I still had it but the upgrades you did to yours makes it so much more amazing!!! Great job on the lights too!!! See you in the next amazing project you get your hands on!!!
They make a 4537 aircraft landing lamp with massive candlepower. They fit right in where original bulbs go, but the draw some current so run them off relay. The are for the 4 lamp round style
I'm not going to say yikes about the price because bright lights save lives, and that is no joke. The brighter, the better. I have the perfect headlight aiming spot on a building in town. Flat and level with checkerboard trim on the side. Makes it easy to adjust.
I love retrobright lights! I have them on my 67 bug and just ordered one for my road king. It is literally a night and day difference from a sealed beam.
Quarantine run, another great cruise.. caught video while taking in some In n out. I'll call holley tomorrow.. bet they won't hook me up.. me not so LUCKY 😂😂
Thanks, Lucky. I've been scouting around for the right headlights to use in a project I'm considering. Sometimes old-looking headlights just suit the look, but I grew up with those lights and they were barely adequate back then.
Wish I had my 1970 c10 stepside, 3 on the floor with the small block 400 I rebuilt..That thing flew..Big wide oval tires 6 lug wheels..A Cadillac blue thing was sharp..
I installed a set (4) on my ‘64 Galaxie . Low beam …. Good , high beams really bright and down the road where I want them . Sometimes you you have to go with the pricey . These properly fit the Ford shells . I had previously purchased a set from another outfit that were supposed to fit , but they lied . Rear finned shell of lamps were too deep .
I've got a set of the Hella's in both my 1967 Ford F-100 SWB and my 1967 Ford Mustang. Might be a good time to update both of them. At least these led's look like they belong in a classic car/truck. Some of the other one's that are the projection style look out of place IMO. 6=8.
Usually yes, but what Lucky is working with is called a “Sealed Beam’” headlight, which (correct me if I am wrong) you can not remove the bulbs from, it’s all one unit, hence Lucky calls the module a “bulb” rather than lamp and bulb.. I DO believe Lucky knows the difference. But I may be wrong?
Title confused me for a second because I was thinking of the other Retrobright, the hydrogen peroxide based solution to bleach UV damaged yellowed ABS plastics.
I'm curious on the light shining pattern at night, how far does it shine. I see it has sweet cut-off line to not blind cars up front, that's actually nice.
Hay Lucky did you ever fiqure out what year and make did you get the seats out in your chevelle ??? Dude there is there million of seats to look at to fiqure out what the out of ????? Thanks
