Holly RetroBright LED Headlights - MrE - 04-17-2022

There have been numerous posts on this forum about converting to LED headlights. It has been pointed out that it's not as simple as replacing your halogen bulb with one of the many LED bulbs. The halogen reflectors are not suited for the LED bulbs, resulting in bad and possibly dangerous headlights. Holly has come out with a new line of LED headlights where the headlight housing is designed for LED bulbs. I was hoping to find that they were manufactured here in the United States, but found no evidence. 

From Motor Trend magazine; "Though you can find aftermarket LED headlights, they tend to look weird, with multi-element fixtures in the housing that can take on the look of the compound eye of a biting insect. Many also include the trendy "angel eyes" illuminated ring around the perimeter of the housing. Not everyone wants the front of their car to look like a horsefly or have the styling elements of a 2000s-era BMW. That's why it was a big deal when Holley released its line of LED headlights. They actually look like the sealed-beam lights you want an upgrade from."
