Is Anyone Using LED Headlights ??

Interesting. I'll give those a look myself.

Mine are glass..

I suspected that since the back side is plastic. I guess it's going to have the same problem
as all modern cars today with oxidation, might need to apply a clear coat for protection.

I'm surprised nobody called me out on this one !!!

Upon further research, most are made of aluminum for heat dissipation.

I see where Space Coast Rodder has a lens made of glass. SPR, can you post a link to your LED headlights???

The lens in my two Jeeps are 6 and 8 years old, and still look like new. Maybe someone learned how to make better and with UV protection.

Now you're talking.... although every other light on the T is LED.

These headlights use LED's for the halo and Halogen for the headlight bulb. If I change, I'm thinking of going all LED.

Thanks, but not sure that would work with LED's behind the glass lens. Seems it would scatter the light.

Thanks ! Yea I would have been surprised if a LED headlight came with a glass lens.

Glass would be great. Plastic gets pitted from road grime, sand, uv, etc.
