Diode Dynamics SL1 Headlights (1 Viewer)

[suzuguru]

I'm looking for a headlight upgrade for my 80 because the low-beams just don't put out enough light. The range of light emitted is very short. I don't need to spend a ton of money. Just looking for a decent product that puts out a decent amount of light, that won't blind oncoming traffic. I've heard good things about Diode Dynamics SL1's, but don't know if it's kosher to put them in the factory housings. I also have no clue what Diode Dynamics SL1 part number is needed for the LC 80 series.

Try 9011s in all 4 positions.

Thanks

The only 9011's I could find was in a SL2. I know so little about these, I don't even know what the difference is.

This is what you need along with h1 hid bulbs and ballasts of your choice.

Anything that cheap can't be good. (or good for very long)

Sounds like he is using factory headlights. Personally, I wouldn’t bother to put projectors behind a fluted lens.

I see more “quad” headlight retrofits being done these days. They’re OEM and look great IMO. It looks like they have LED replacement lenses for them too. I wonder how the light output of those compares to an US market DEPO headlight with a D2S retrofit.

 

[suzuguru]

I would love to a quad retrofit, but that could get pretty pricey. I don't know... might be worth it.

I ordered...

High Beams- Wagner 9005 BLX Extra Bright Long Life
Low Beams- Wagner 9006 BLX Extra Bright

They were $10 each, so if I'm not happy with them, I can always go a different route.

I tried a bunch of bulbs, with a slee harness.

Diode dynamics were my favorite, until I put in quads with Lasfit bulbs. Selling the Oem glass pays for a good chunk of quads and the glass is way cheaper to replace.

Good luck

Where is the best place to source a set of quads?

 

[Outsane]

I would get them from @jcardona1

He also sells a harness to convert the bulbs

Thanks Lee! More info on the harnesses I build:
