Title: Holley Retrobright Headlights
Post by: OysterSlayer on December 16, 2022, 21:41:40: Has anyone tried the Holley Retrobright LED Headlights in their w113? I'm in need of an upgrade.

Keep the old bulbs to revert back to original if the next owner prefers, or if you are showing the car.
See photos.

Hi Dave - did you have to use an adaptor or the P45T bulb base on our cars?

When I went to buy mine here in Australia I checked the reviews and the Varda H4s' had an extremely high early failure rate so I opted for the Lightfox H4s'.
