Jbusch Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I put these lights in my 2013 Jeep ($400). According to the documentation they use 1/2 the voltage and last 30,000 hours. They were worth the money for my Jeep and the Z is getting them when it hits the road. http://www.quadratec.com/products/97109_0001.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also just visited your site and it seems you also have a nice option for headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPMS Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm about to find out for myself. My HID kit took a dump this week and stranded me at a gas station until the sun came up enough for me to drive to work. I used the time productively to order an LED kit off Amazon. I'm pretty sure I'll end up having to bump out the end of the headlight nacelle to make room for the fan, but considering how many HID kits I've burned through in the past five years, I'm more than willing to do a little fabrication in exchange for some reliability.

1969honda Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I have some TruckLites on the shelf waiting for my build to progress to the electrical upgrade phase of things. I can say they are a direct swap though as I put one in just for kicks and giggles after seeing this thread. I'll post a few pics up a little later of a comparison of how they look cosmetically, the right hand side still has the stock light installed.Interesting side note, almost all new military trucks have trucklites installed, the neawer Oshkosh trucks we are getting appear to have the JWs. Both are really nice and bright at night. Edited May 4, 2015 by 1969honda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takayuki Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I just installed the truck lite led headlight as well. If the 240z wiring Is like my 260z, you will need to rewire your headlight wiring with a 5 pole relay to properly make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88dangerdan Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Takayuki, is your 260z an early or later 260z. Can you post some pics of your install. Thanks Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takayuki Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have a early 260z. here are some photos that I took: Not a fair comparison since I didn't take the picture from the exact same spot. But as you can see, these are way brighter than stock and probably just as bright as HID's.\ low beam high beam This is where I spliced into to install the relay. I opted to go with this setup because it's a lot more simple than HID's. No ballasts, no addition of fuses, no need to add wires. Keeps it more Tidy. Just had to add one relay. It draws 1.8amps per headlight on low beams and 3.6amps on high beams. A lot easier on your electrical system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
