 This guy evaluated a bunch of after market LED headlights and raved about the 
Holley.

I recently dug through the current offerings in this space, and decided 
to put in the "Holley Retrobright" sealed beam LED units, made by 
Morimoto. They're ... not cheap, but I liked the idea of fitting an 
entire unit rather than worrying about the alignment and heat issues 
associated with LED capsules in H4 housings.

Also, I was replacing sealed halogens, not an H4, so I would have had 
the expense of decent E-code housings anyway.

I couldn't be happier with how they went in and how they work. No fan. 
Big heat sinks on the housing. Easy/direct electrical connection. I 
opted for "modern white" but you can get "old skool yellowish white" too :-)
