Title: Euro LED Headlight Conversion
Post by: johnk on October 09, 2025, 16:26:46
I am having a difficult time finding the correct LED conversion kit with adapter for my Euro Headlights. I have searched through the forum and cant seem to find a description or current link to get the correct adapters and bulbs. In addition to exact adapter, I am looking for a recommendation on the bulb's output as I read many can be too bright. Any help from a recent purchase is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
John

John,

This is lifted from a post I made in May of this year, for someone asking the same question:

The subject of headlight upgrades, especially LED, comes up often.  Here's a 4-year old post from me about what parts I used to upgrade to LED headlights (which work great!).  (BTW, I believe I got the basic info from an earlier post by Peter Lesler.)

I will add two additional bits of information.  First, look at the specs of the bulbs I ordered; you may not find the same listing, but the wattage, color, lumen output, and bulb configuration are the important bits.  Second, the lights have perfect cut-off on low beam, and make a huge difference for night driving.

Thanks David,

Sadie shared a detailed email you sent him with the specifics from your previous endeavour which is very helpful.  Having a hard time now finding a US supplier of the P45t to H4 adapter.
