Upgrade Your Headlights: Modern Lighting Options For Your Classic Car

There are a lot of headlight upgrade options for classic car and muscle car owners: Halogen, sealed vs non sealed housings, HID, LED, and more. In this video, Evan and Nick break down the pros and cons of several popular options. Then - they install some new LED headlights into the 1953 Chevy truck that we call the "Farm Truck".
The headlights we installed in the truck are: Delta 01-1179-LED2 Classic 7 Inch LED Hi/Lo Beam Headlights

What about for cars like my '77 Ford LTD Landau with quad bulb headlights. Will that be an issue with modern headlight conversion like this?

[@71dodgecoronet84]

I replaced the sealed beam with the bulb option but the pins were flipped after a few minutes my switch would get hot&started smelling like burned but the brightness was just a bit better not huge diff, my next shot is try the bulbs my E34 had as those were as bright I like

The new LED headlights are too bright. Sealed beam headlights is all you need.

New car lighting sucks it is very blinding for oncoming With the blinding lights on new vehicles I totally disagree

[@mikeadams2677]

From what I've seen of modern cars the beam is fixed, and I fully get what you're saying and agree 100%, but I know for a fact that on old classic cars you can adjust/aim the direction of the beams. If the new lights mount to the existing adjustment screws you should be able to get the better brighter lighting and be able to adjust them enough to give you plenty of visibility without blinding the on coming traffic.
