LED headlight Conversion for your Classic VWs (You can do that for 6V and 12V system)

[@65bribri]

Eddy is the man! Thanks for the tutorial man. My 64 is all 6 volt and I’m very apprehensive about driving at night, but will look to do this soon.👍

[@yoshinoyajones8924]

6 volt h4s on amazon. i run them on my daily 58 bug

[@bigestudios3890]

Nice video, thanks for sharing. On the "to do list" now.

[@XxStanTheManxX1]

Hey Eddie/Shin, this is stan the man Bad Razz. Thumbs up your video. Just wanted to say the first thing I did to Bad Razz, was changing out my halogens to LED headlights. This was among some of the changes I want to accomplish before bringing out Bad Razz again.

[@philheese1728]

First time on your channel. Loved the video. Didn’t know they had 6v led’s! I’ll be back, I just subscribed.

[@Mikefngarage]

got these on my bus good and bright.

[@donaldprater5099]

Thanks for the info. I have an all og 63 ragtop beetle and plan on keeping it that way so this definitely helps.

[@TexasFinest_Collectibles]

Thanks for the tutorial I only see 12V lamps in the description. Just picked up a 6V 1960 Beetle. Want to replace the housing, lamp and bulbs to the halogens, any links I can use. Thanks

[@ruggedplus]

Thank you! Which LEDs would you advise for the 12V? looking for my T2 bus.

[@1of1RTR]

Nice and bright 🤙 🇺🇸

[@jimihendrix1575]

Just ordered all of it for my 1961 6 volt double door panel bus. Hope it is worth it!

[@jimihendrix1575]

UPDATE; Received the headlight bulbs, undamaged, simple install, fantastic results. Instant-on, very bright and precise beam. They appear to be of very good quality, heavy in your hand. Very pleased with them.

[@jimihendrix1575]

UPDATE. It was totally worth it. Super easy to install, and throws a accurately directed bright white beam. My bus can see in the dark now!

[@yoshinoyajones8924]

i love leds, but I just use 6 volt h4s

[@jacobgarza7026]

Are there any H4 LEDs that still have that halogen color?

[@hotvwsmagazine]

The one we installed was more white color. I think there are some warmer color LED available.

[@tomasalvarez6040]

Awesome!! I have a 64 bug. This will come innhandy!! 2 questions; the link for the housing onnamazon, has various sizing options, which do I pick? Also, could u send a link to the Led bulb that u used. Thanks a million!!!

[@hotvwsmagazine]

For the housing, you should get 178mm H4. For the LED Bulb, if you are running 6V, this should work. www.ebay.com/itm/182921429337?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nLD0IBWHRQW&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@tomasalvarez6040]

@@hotvwsmagazine awesome thank youu!!! Gonna jump on this project asap. I heard u say in video about a different video regarding similar issue with tail lights. I just subsribed to your chanel, but cant find that video. By any chance could u send me that link please. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻thanks again❤

[@snugbug5067]

I definately like the upgrade for safety sake. I'm curious about the the new bulbs. Are they hindered from vibration ? Is the life span less ?

[@hotvwsmagazine]

I am running this LED for 4 years now. It still works perfect.

[@gavanwhatever8196]

The 6v headlights were perfectly fine for night driving. The problem arrived as other cars got brighter and brighter headlights.

[@jeffbannon1345]

Any suggestions / links for LED options in European headlamps?

[@hotvwsmagazine]

European headlight might little bit tricky since it has P45T style bulb and I never seen LED with P45T. You would need P45T - H4 adapter like this. www.ebay.com/itm/282431057343

[@rickmeredith8953]

I was going to ask the same thing. I need some 12v LEDs with a P45T base. I've seen the adpaters but I've seen some talk about them moving the bulb so the beam pattern isn't right.

[@hotvwsmagazine]

If it's 12V, you can find P45T base LED like this one. www.amazon.com/dp/B095K67TGM/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_Q0J11B6CVED0W8EZXSPC

[@johnnieoddball]

is there good led rear bolbs out there 6volt or 12 volt ?

[@hotvwsmagazine]

For 6V cars, try this site. www.classicautobulbs.com/automotive-light-bulbs/antique-vintage/6volt_led_bulbs.htm

[@safarikick]

That’s probably a lot easier on the generator on those probably stay brighter than idle

[@justdiyit9683]

Wait… $130+ for the 6v led bulbs!?!? Dang, LEDs are expensive but these are HELLA expensive lol
