Great vid. Thanks.

[@michaelorlando6159]

Great video the x has a long path to supply the haed lights . Many of us add relays which make the lights brighter and saves the load on the ignition and columswitches highly recomended. And cleaning the grounds on the car is important the lights should not be dragiing that much on the alternator unles several grounds points are corroded. Yes the led is a big help as well

I deleted everything off the front of the car - lights, grille, tow eyes, bumper irons, bumpers, headlamp pods, motors. I modified a Serie Speciale chin spoiler and put it at a shallower angle, I made a grille and various other pieces of trim, tow eyes are screw in type, I also slightly modified the headlamp apertures below the plimsoll line and fitted 4x 80mm (Hella) projector headlamps in a fixed position inside the body behind flush outer lenses. I also made fibreglass inserts to close off the airhhorn outlets. My intention was to lose weight, clean up the front aero, make night driving safer.

I was considering getting the VC5000 with the factory round lens choice, but according to Duncan, co-founder of Vintage car LEDS. The standard economy lens options are out of stock, due to some production line issues. And there is no ETA on when they will be back in stock. Huge bummer, but will have to wait and see if & when their production line starts again.

[@GarageTimeTV]

I think they were out of stock for me too, but the flat look pretty cool. It’s about preference really. Just keep checking and make sure to use that discount code at checkout to save some $$

[@samhicks97]

@@GarageTimeTVpreference for sure, but I'm quite impatient and I might have to spring for the Hella lens option even though I still prefer the "factory" round lens look. But the dark back roads of Texas is no joke with Halogens, coupled with huge amp draw and an under charging system is a no bueno for me. For real on the discount though, without the code I'm at around 900 USD almost 1K including taxes. But with the code, it drops the total to around 780 USD, more realistic price tag for headlights. But I surmise that Vintage car LED's are having problems standardizing the economy/round lens option to meet DOT regulations, in Texas DOT regulations are pretty lax compared to California for some odd inane reasons. Hopefully VCL releases the stock lens choices soon!

[@kedelbach]

which version did you get? Vintage LED side shows 4 models. thx!

[@GarageTimeTV]

I got the VcM3 model. It is their newest design.

[@kedelbach]

@GarageTimeTV "Classic" or "German Hella upgrade"? Website doesn't explain the differences in models very well. ~$250 isn't unreasonable, assuming they're quality LEDs. I'm replacing the headlights (surprsingly well constructed knock-offs for $125 a pair) on my '12 Town and Country minivan today - going with Sylvania "ultra" halogen bulbs - after that will think about the X1/9. cheers

[@GarageTimeTV]

@@kedelbach I went with the classic look, but the hella ones are nice too. The difference is the lens. It’s between a normal rounded one, flat faced (that’s what I went with) or the German style hella lights to look OEM. it’s really preference to style, but they all work the same.

[@peterhirt991]

head lamps do not take any significant current. If your voltmeter goes down on turning the headlights, something else is bad like a bad wire or so. Alteranteors can feed tens of Amps, lamps need just a few.

what about changing the ugly US bumpers?
