Anyone have any experience with these?  Last I heard 6V LEDs  where junk.

while the ad is marked DOT certified I am going out on a limb and saying certified illegal.....lol the lenses are no marked as such.....these fly by night sellers will do or say anything for a sale.....

 

They marked H4 and still not DOT on the lens....the H4 lenses are NOT designed for LED bulbs.....I think you would be wasting your money and be a nuisance to you or others on the highway.

You would be better off going with this headlamp setup

 

and putting 6 H4 bulbs in it

I also noticed that in item specifics the required voltage is listed as 12v ...

You are welcome.  The linked source was a bit slow getting mine to me, but I got it.  I have not installed it yet so no idea if it's as quality as it seems, but being Toyota and from what others have said, I'll bet it is.  I have GE LED headlights in my 51, this kit is going in my 65 Cuda.

I'm a little late to the party, but I will say that back a couple of decades ago when my car was still 6V i bought a pair of motorcycle 6V LED headlights, and they were awesome!

Okay, Got my Toyota endorsed headlight kit,  Got my 6v H-4 bulbs.  All sorts of ready to start installing.  A thought occurred to me BEFORE I wv as neck deep in the project (A rarity for sure, but it DOES happen from time to time). I am Pro Relaying the headlights, especially as EVERYTHING (Horn, headlights, brake lights, EEVVEERRYTTHIHNNGG) goes through the ignition switch and I am keen to get some amperage AWAY from the switch.  Will the relays that come with the kit work on a 6v system, would relaying the system require 6v special relays, or am I totally safe Plug and playing the existing the new bulbs into my existing harness?

 

Edit : Read further down the thread posted by Sniper and read about relay issues caused to Sam Buchanan and ended up ordering the Bosch 6V relays.

With 6v bulbs and relays you should be ready to start installation. Get a good ratcheting crimper, a bunch of butt splices and a spool of 12g wire so you can modify the harness as needed. Yes, getting high current off the ignition and headlight switch is a prime reason to do the upgrade.
