    The Amazon lights are flat. But like I said, nobody has even noticed or said anything.

    I did not have to modify the buckets. I did have to stuff the wires in behind the light but they fit. Click image for larger version

      I hope those replaceable "Bulbs" for the special Not-Seal Beam LED "Headlights", are available somewhere cheaper than $100.00.

        Thanks DB, the pics look like the LED is akin to comparing a flashlight to a lantern, MUCH brighter. The flat face would not bother me. How about the light pattern, going down the road at night?

          The bulbs are replaceable. They are H4s.
          As far as driving at night, I think they do much better than stock. I don't do much night driving. Some shows that I go to require an early start. I am glad that I upgraded.

            I am guessing, the mod to the headlight bucket included cutting, or hole sawing through the back side, which would leave the rear of the light exposed to the elements, i.e. water slinging off the front tire. If so, that's a deal breaker for me, since mine are driven regularly, including rain sometime. But I am betting you used creativity to seal the back side up somehow?

              He said he did not need to modify anything Joe.

              When I changed to H4 type lights I did have to open up the "adjusting bucket" center hole a bit to accommodate the large rubber seal around the bulb mount/wiring. I also did not need to cut through the fender pocket/bucket though. Many LED headlamp bulbs have fans and such making them
              real deep requiring a lot of room but these appear not to have that and fit like any other H4 bulb.

            I did not have to modify the headlight bucket in any way. That would have been a deal breaker for me too. I have driven in the rain and suffered no problems.

              Oops, looks like I mis-read DB's post no. 31
