Okay, so the time has come for some new headlights. It's a toss up between the Truck Lite 7" or the Hella H4 conversions with Raxion LEDs from Extreme Terrain.
Now, I had the rectangle Truck Lites on my old XJ, so I know how they perform.
I've never seen the Hella H4 conversion with Raxiom LEDs before, but I've heard a lot of people like it.
I'm curious to know if there is anyone at all on here who has run both setups (or has at least seen them in person) and can tell me which one they like better?
The Truck Lites are obviously a bit more spendy, but I'm not worried about cost. I'm just looking for whichever setup will provide the best light output, that's all!
Then you shouldn't have a problem. I'm running Hellas, they aren't converted to LED but I'm pretty unhappy with their performance and will be looking into other options soon.
I've got Truck-lites (the unheated version) and even with the last couple of Chicago winters, it hasn't been an issue. I've had to clean the headlights off a grand total of once.
I should have read your whole first post. If price isn't an issue I would go with the Trucklites. They're going to have a superior pattern and light output. The Raxiom is a great set up for the price, but I can't say that it out performs a headlight that is built from the ground up to be LED.
I'm not interested in running LEDs it gets way to cold here to run a light that's not going to heat up at all. Frost will become an issue I would rather not have to deal with every time I drive.
I used to have ice and snow build up on my factory sealed beams and Silverstars. I don't know how much worse it will be on these. I'll let you know when the snow starts falling and I get the plow hooked up!
The last couple of winters, temps have been averaging about 20F here in Chicago, many times dipping down into the minus teen range. Not far off from your temps at all.
