Holley RetroBright 4x6 LED Headlight Review in 73-87 Chevy Truck C10

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Love the sharp cutoff on those Retrobrights, don't so much love the price tag on them, though.

[@Roadhog0]

Yeah, the price is a little stepper than I like, but it's one of those spots where you definitely get what you pay for.

[@GUERRO06]

SOLD...Just orderd 4 of them for my 1970 olds-442-w-30 conv...Round of course....

[@Roadhog0]

They're pretty cool! I want to try the Bangin Headlights round headlights on something next!

[@roochiecooch]

If you’re impressed with the light output of one set you should replace the lowers with a set as well. And when you do ask them about the harness for a set of 4 lights. It runs all 4 as low beam and high beam together. So you’d have four low beams and four high beams working together. It’s actually amazing how well you can see. And if it’s aimed well you won’t bother anyone. I know from experience now. Have them on my 85 Camry with four squares like yours but I think mine. Side by side on each side though from factory.

[@Roadhog0]

I've thought about it but with how little I really drive this truck at night the singles are plenty. It's as good as my semi modern car.

[@Rumeel12708]

Amazing video on these, I need to buy 2 pairs for my fox 😍

[@Roadhog0]

Thank you! Definitely recommend them, even if you only stick one pair in for your outside lights they're worth it.

[@gmcminitruck]

Exactly, educate them suckers! Nice headlights, great choice!

[@Roadhog0]

Thank you thank you! Most stuff I don't get soapboxy about, but shitty aftermarket headlights that make it harder for the owner, and me, to see is where I draw the line! Thanks man!

[@dan_crouch]

GO BEAVS! Nice review too!

[@tratsch1063]

Nice video on those wish they was not priced so high. And nice shifting thru the gears I counted 4 shift was that a 4speed with a granny low or 4spd with a overdrive in 4 . Miss driving a stick square body.

[@Roadhog0]

Thank you thank you! Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the price, but they are definitely a get what you pay for item. I have tried the lower cost projector style you can find on Amazon/eBay which are better than sealed beams, but not as nice as the Holley's. As for the trans, that's actually a 6 speed behind a 12v Cummins.

[@vibingwithvinyl]

0:35 I'm curious as to why your headlights are (well, were) aimed like that? Why is the drivers side aimed so much lower? I mean, they're supposed to be aimed at the same height.

[@Roadhog0]

Yup, they should be aimed about the same. Some lights do better for oncoming glare with the driver a little lower. In this case though I had tried a different light the week earlier on one side and the H4 housing didn't get put back in the truck exactly the same so it was higher on the passenger side.

[@bigfun4212]

The diy marks you would layout on a wall have the drivers side aiming point lower than the passenger side to aid in beam formation at distance without undue glare to oncoming traffic.

[@kenqv3481]

They should absolutely NOT be aimed at the same height. The drivers side one should be lower and slightly canted right so as not to glare on coming drivers.

[@LiteSkinLatinPoetic]

Serious question bro: 4:45...what do you mean you have to flipflop them? And why do you have to flipflop them? Knowledgeable answer por favor=

[@Roadhog0]

So the factory bulb (H4651) is pinned different than an H4 bulb like these Holley's. Two of the terminals need to be swapped so it's wired correctly. Quick google will give the proper pinout and it can be done with a screwdriver.

[@oczuk32]

Do the low bean and high bean run on at the same time when high beam is engaged?

[@Roadhog0]

Yes! The low beam and high beam in the Retrobrights are separate LEDs so you get them both on high beam. It's pretty cool!

[@PghMtbRides]

Holly brightes are great, but one woild actually see better eithbthe vintsge white(yellow hue) or 3000k selective yellow(if legal in your state) then one would with neutral (pure white) or even cool white(blue hue) Useable light > perceived brightness

[@carlosaguilar316]

Nice,Where did you get them? Thanks

[@Roadhog0]

I bought these from HeadlightRevolution

[@michaelhood1291]

Are you in Kent or Auburn WA?!

[@Roadhog0]

Nope, but I do wind up that direction a good bit

[@buck4050]

Hey man on the original the low beams are the top and high beams are all 4 do these work the same way ?

[@Roadhog0]

These lights have both high and low in one like the stock light. I only put the uppers in and left the lowers halogen since they worked decent. Note you need to repin the truck side connector to H4 pin out when these are installed (can be done with a screwdriver).

[@buck4050]

@@Roadhog0 okay so they will not work like the original all 4 will be on all the time and just go high and low beam

[@Roadhog0]

@@buck4050 no, they will work as original as the lowers only have wiring for the high beams.

[@buck4050]

@@Roadhog0 okay I gotcha thank you

[@Terk131]

Why did you cover the lower lights

[@Roadhog0]

That was to give an apples to apples comparison when the highs came on. I wasn't interested in comparing the lower high beams, just the Holley's versus H4s
