I came across these LED projector lamps that have a great retro look but are modern LED projectors with crazy bright white light but the light comes out in a semicircle (flat on top, curved on the bottom) array so the super bright light does not blind oncoming traffic like a round wash array would. I am very happy with the look and the performance.
I had to cut the back of the bucket they sit in and I also had to toss the three pin stock plug but it was not too much trouble to fit in.
