Such useful information! Thanks for taking the time to make this for all of us "in the dark" on headlight choices :)

man, this is gold! thank you for comparing all these options...

Greetings from Brazil. I've searched the whole web looking for this kind of material. It's a huge help for people buying new headlights for VW. Thank you for this and your VW is awesome.

This video is exactly the kind of information I've been looking for. Thanks!

Appreciate the comparison. Looking to swap out the headlights on my 73 Type 2 so this was very helpful. Cheers.

Great video!! Excellent information and demos, I think the Cree? sealed unit work perfectly so I added them to my list. Wow your Super Beetle is mint!!! Thanks!

Thank you for this... Helped me decide the style to put on my sand rail.

Great video! Glad to see you posted!

Thanks for the informative and thorough testing. Good stuff. However, I am wondering about the black bars on the last set (the H4 mini projectors) and that you thought it was something to do with the lenses. I think it may be that the point the light emits from may not be in the right place (either too far forward, or back). Remember, the reflectors in lights (headlights, torches, flashlights, even satellite dishes, etc) are parabolic and that means there is a focal point where the lamp is placed in proximity. It might be worth placing a standard H4 bulb next to one of these projector bulbs lined up at the p43t flange and see if the position of the light source is significantly different.

That beetle is 🔥

I have those last one in my 69 bug. They have been pretty good. Had to modify the backing plate to get them to sit good. They have been in about a year and have the halo as a running light all the time because I have running lights on the top of the fender. And turned the yellow halo into the turn signal. But very happy with them. But good video.

Be glad you don't have to deal with the crap sealed beam headlights used here in the US...definitely inferior to the standard headlights used in Europe (and apparently Australia as well). Upgrading them to something better may technically be illegal but definitely results in better visibility!

thanks for posting!!!!!!! good stuff! i did the same recently... i bought blue laminx film to protect the lenses as well.. more content🙏!!

After long time

Thanks so much for a great video! Lots of valuable research you have passed on. A bit off topic but do you know how or if I can convert headlights in a 1971 Type 3 to something like this? It seems there's nothing for them to mount to? Any help is very much appreciated.

Any links to these?? the cree style ones

Datsun Zed's also suffer from dim/high draw amps. From the original set up.(low output gen.) We use HIDs. Because after it fires up. It only needs a few volts to stay lit.

Fancy purchasing some of the Halo lights for my Beetle 1300. Do they come with a mounting plate or do I need to purchase this separate?

I have some of the 7" Projector Jeep lights. They don't come on. How did you get them going? Did you use resistors? Thanks.

Can you please post a link to the H4 mini projectors. I can’t find them with the correct round base fitting

Hi will the Jeep LEDs work for my Mk1? In terms of brightness I am struggling so much

That happen to me, I put the black sealed ones in my car around 2 and a half year ago, it drives me crazy when I see another beetle with them. Know I want to buy ones for wranglers before 2017 that's gives the look of the last wranglers. I really like the DRL and turn signal but if not I will go like yous. Pd: my black sealed ones when I put the turn signals the DRL goes off then goes on automatically

I have a 72 1302 I'm doing up and I have halo lights - do they need a special mounting bracket - Ive looked and cant find anything - how did you do yours?

Are they still working without moisture inside?

Hey! I’m wanting to know how you mounted the projector style headlights into your beetle. I have some of these headlights for my beetle and I’m having so many issues! Thank you so much!

I’m curious what you did to soundproof your bug??? Sounds great. 👍🏼

At the 9:00 minute mark, how did you install the male-male jumper wires to the loose wires for the halo?

need to chnage the relay ? which type relay ?

Miss your videos

My question is how did you adjust the light to aim down?

If you using aftermarket headlight do you need universal bracket?

LOVE the light output and beam pattern on these. Sadly though i only got to see it for 10 mins and the low beam stopped working on one of them. The replacement came today and only lasted for 30m. I love these lights but damn, two duds back to back is bugging me. The ONE working one is better than the 2 stock as far as usable light. Hope 3rd time's a charm.

Hey Mate. We make a classic style LED projector 7” sealed beam. Zero glare unlike these LEDs in a reflector housing. Made right here in Australia, check us out!
