LED Headlights for our Zs
 

Looks like GE is selling 5"x7" LED headlights. Price is bit steep at about $240 each but installation is a simple plug-in unlike HIDs that require splicing in ballasts. Also, according to the sales literature, quality of light (color temp at 5,600k and even distribution and cut off) seems to be right there with HIDs. It's seems to be an interesting option for our ZR-1s.

Nice, looks like they may be better than Hella?

Re: LED Headlights for our Zs
 

Hella you are referring to is probably euro spec glass housing. These are typically mated to halogen bulbs or can be, I believe, mated to HID bulbs.
Based on light spectrum comparison, definitely better then halogen.

cheaper than the JW Speaker ones at $500 ea

still a bit much though

Re: LED Headlights for our Zs
 

The cost benefit of the LEDs though is longer life.

15,000 hours is a LONG time and carry a 3 year warranty. Color me impressed.

Where did you find for $240? Thanks.

Re: LED Headlights for our Zs
 

Interesting. I saw these installed on a car show that was doing a custom build, was wondering how they performed. I wasn't able to find the $240 price, but Amazon has them at $280 and they had a few reviews and all said they performed well.

Actually you are refering to the $99 and less Ebay HID kits. My kit was plug and play from CorvetteHID.com including the ballasts. All 'Kits" and I use that term loosely are NOT the same.

Neat with the LEDS. I was wondering when that was going to come along. I wonder if they use one large LED or multiples to acheive ALL the light? I wonder if the housings are plastic.... I hate those as they tend to haze vs. glass

Re: LED Headlights for our Zs
 

Those are very cool - but I think I'll wait til they get down around $50 apiece. Or I won't get em. $500 + for headlights is ridiculous in my opinion...
