I have the roundeyes and I don't like the pattern they illuminate.

Looks like city racer takes the day!

I order a set from cityracer on 11-16 and they will be delivered tomorrow 11-22.

And after you install them, you will say; "Man, I wish I would have done this earlier."

Roundeye? Doesn't that sound a bit like a slur directed at Westerners? It would be like selling American-made wedge-shaped headlamps in Asia with the brand name "Slant."

Bump on @CityRacer LED headlights ... quick turn around, communication, and wow can I see better ... took all of 5 min to install.

I have Roundeyes in mine also, and they are a vast improvement over stock, especially with a supplemental headlight wiring harness.

But if/when they ever go out, I'm buying City Racer's LED lights.

Are these also low

are these low energy consumption like the LED’s are ?

Here’s the bulb that came in my RE’s.

No! That's why the LED's are superior, and that's why you need a supplemental wiring harness that ties the headlights directly to the battery, if you're going to get full value from halogen lights (like Roundeyes).

Do the LED’s come with that harness ?
All the ones I see say plug and play ..

The harness is not needed with LEDs due to the low draw.

@Trialsallday
My guess is, you have a cruiser with the H4 connector. So if you order H4 compatible LED’s, they’d be plug n’ play. 7” round lamps.

That chart makes me want to try the Putco Luminix just to see what 12,000l looks like.

I have City Racer ledLED headlights in my 78 FJ40 and it is a huge difference. So much better.

I run the ARB IPF 920H Halogen headlights. I'm also running their aftermarket light harness and relays. I've been really happy with them, particularly over stock performance. They have a pretty crisp upper cut-off so, aimed correctly, you don't blind the folks you're driving behind.

Here's a couple shots with my OEM headlight before upgrade. Note you can barely see the split rail fence about 15ft from the truck:

And here is after the IPF upgrade:

Note the split rail fence was farther away in the second shot, PLUS, I illuminated the whole building behind it.

A slight hijack. Many years ago I drove and crashed rally cars as a way to deplete a bank account. Lighting technology wasn't great, Cibie was the best headlight replacement but for brights we used aircraft landing lights from GE. Two or three in front and one in back for high speed reversing !

That looks like a great find. If you have time, can you snap a picture of the beam pattern against a flat surface?

I don't have much time with them, but I love the @cityracer LED's. Great product. I don't think anyone ever flashed me to lower my stock high beams. They were a reasonable price and literally a five minute install.
