Hi,
Just wondering what people think of the LED headlight "upgrades" for the ProMaster?
Some examples listed here: http://www.carid.com/2014-ram-promaster-led-headlight-conversion-kits/
I'm thinking its always nice to have some more headlight reach, but the main thing to me is that it looks like changing headlamps on the PM is a hour long sort of job that involves pulling out the whole headlight assembly. This would be a real pain to do (or try to find someone to do) on a rainy night in the middle of nowhere. I'm thinking that maybe its worth it to do the replacement with LEDs and the life of the LEDs should be long enough that you will never be stuck doing it on the road under less than ideal conditions?
It looks like if you want to do both high and low beams that the bill is going to be about $300, which seems like a lot.
And, you are just taking their word for it that 1) performance is better, and 2) life is longer, 3) that the pattern won't have other drivers flashing their high beams at you for over bright headlamps.
Has anyone tried one of these kits?
Are there better options than the ones at the link above?
Is this a good idea?
Gary
