I love Hella, they are period correct, and are at least 200% brighter white than the original T-3. $88 for the pair.

This is an older thread, but most of what has been said is still accurate. There is a lot more options for LED headlamps now, especially for the 7" round lights. Still not as many choices for us GMC guys with our 4 little weak headlamps. It looks like the best options for the 4 headlamp setup is the Hellas with relays.

Thanks for pointing out the time that might be tolerable for rehashing, or beating a dead horse. :uhmk:

How about totally replacing the round unit, and install a 4" (or close) LED in each '69 grill opening continuing across?

Like this (= each smiley an LED bulb):

These pictures are of mine. I have the relay's and the HID bulbs. I think they work great and I drive my truck a lot day time and nights and I have never had on coming traffic flash their lights at me.
The relays I think are the biggest help to any light you install in these model trucks.
I would like to see the light pattern of these projector bulbs if anyone has them.:chevy:

Chassis is still being built, although finances are tight right now anyway, hopefully the project will start back up soon.
