Jeff Balazs Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Was wondering if anyone here had tried LED headlight conversion on a 6 Volt Pilothouse? I am looking to improve the headlights on my truck. This is my daily driver and I have tried 6 volt Wagner halogens and an aftermarket kit with separate housings and I believe H4 halogen bulbs. I believe the later kit was marketed for early Porsche speedsters. Neither are very good by todays standards and I really want to come up with something better. This time of year I tend to be on the road a fair amount after dark and this includes some areas that are not lit up at all. I am hoping that someone here may have already gone down this path and can offer some solutions that perform better. Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylesadamson Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 You bet. Every light on my truck is LED bye the way. Regards, Styles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylesadamson Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Jeff, Also be aware that any LED lights you use must be designed for AC not DC(the link I provided works for both) as DC LED's will not work on POS ground. AC lights will work for either POS or NEG ground. Styles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I contacted Octane lighting directly and they say their LED bulbs will not work with positive ground. Not certain what my next move is. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
