Re: LED headlight bulb question
Ohh .. didn’t see that. Thanks. What is the source for double contact for model T application? The last threads I read suggest they are not as bright as filament types. Is that still the case?

Re: LED headlight bulb question
New reflectors made a huge difference to light output. Even better was when I tried LED bulbs from here http://www.classicandvintagebulbs.com/page6.html
You can see them installed in my car here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1012&p=7358#p7358
The high and low beam works as it should - the LED elements are positioned differently for high and low beam - unlike the repro incandescent bulbs. It's a totally different experience driving at night now. And the much lower current consumption is easier on the generator, battery, and the contacts in the headlight switch.
