Mine on a 25 pickup are great. I use 6 volt duals.

Re: Anyone running LED Headlights?
I'm running them on my 1919 racer; both headlights and the tailight. Put them in last August. All good.
Here's a link to the ones I got. A little pricey, but I like being seen when necessary:

Re: Anyone running LED Headlights?
I've been using them for about the last seven years. Very happy with their performance. The ones I'm using are 6V with high and low beam. They were obtained from http://www.classicandvintagebulbs.com/
I also replaced the reflectors which probably made more of a noticeable difference than changing to LED bulbs alone.

Re: Anyone running LED Headlights?
I'm one of those darn 12 Volt people and have good reflectors so my lights are very good, but the first bulb that burns out I'm going to LED's
they are far suppirior to the regular ones.

Re: Anyone running LED Headlights?
I run 12 volt LED Headlights, tail lights, side lights. Very happy with all. My headlights are single beam and give plenty of illumination for the speeds I drive.

Re: Anyone running LED Headlights?
None of my cars have generators. I rewired for LED bulbs to run off the battery, now I have constant brilliant light while drawing a fraction of an Amp.
I love 'em!

Re: Anyone running LED Headlights?
To build on what Keith wrote - I don't have a generator either. My Odyssey battery rides under the back seat and is kept charged by a John Regan Hot Shot charger that uses the magneto to charge the battery (AC to pulsating DC.) The LED's don't draw much current and the Hot Shot keeps the battery fully charged.
