Looks like I could use these 15 LED head lights as low beam but they have to be partially blocked and pointed right at the ground, I don't even know if the head light aiming adjustment can point them that far down.

I got the 4x6 LEDs off ebay. I just searched "H4656 LED" and they came up. These ones were $99, shipped. They can be had a little cheaper but I paid a few more $ to get the "Cree" LED lights.
You can get a set of 4 for a little less than 50 a pair. I got the pair because I wasn't convinced they would make good low beams.

About 2 years ago I searched "H4656 projector" or something to that effect and got those projectors with standard halogen H4 bulb (because there were no H4565 LEDs to be had), I figured I would just get an H4 LED, but 2 years ago the H4 LED selection wasn't that good.

I will post up some pics of the head lights as is pointed at something, then I plan on putting the LED high beams in this weekend and then post some halogen low/high beam + LED high beam pics.
I am pretty sure I will have to butcher the lower light pocket a little for the 15 LED high beams and butcher the upper head light pocket a lot to make the H4 LED fit in there.
