Yes they won't fit in my rectangle headlight spot, Yes they are expensive. But ...
I have a clear grill block. (Shrink wrap plastic for extra insulation over house windows in the winter). Everywhere I drive is urban with street lights.
Maybe ---- get a set. Mount in grill behind grill block. Normal night driving turn on LED lights. (Inspection or rural wild animal area I turn on the stock lights).
Now maybe I can do the alternator delete, dashboard solar charger ....
Any thoughts?

Thought:

Maybe you don't waste $600, and you just get a set of LED panel lights to put behind your grille for city driving where you don't need headlights.

Hello -

As Neil has just discovered in his LED thread, this headlight is being used on the Illuminati Seven in the X-Prize competition.
