Why I chose LED headlights. <\/strong>

Lower power consumption:<\/strong>
LEDs draw significantly less power \u2013 important for older trucks with weak batteries or when the vehicle is stationary for extended periods.
Reduced battery load:<\/strong>
This is especially relevant when additional appliances (heating, refrigerator, etc.) are running. LEDs = longer battery life.
Minimal heat generation:<\/strong>
LEDs don't get hot \u2013 ideal for tight installation spaces or poor ventilation in older housings. However, this can be a disadvantage when driving in snow.
Improved visibility:<\/strong>
Clear, bright light color \u2013 you are seen better, and you can see more yourself. A plus for safety.
Longer lifespan:<\/strong>
An LED often lasts 10 times longer than a halogen lamp. Fewer replacements mean less cost and less work.

However, I had to make some modifications. The lamps I bought were significantly smaller. Therefore, I had to fabricate a subframe from aluminum checker plate. I then used the smooth, reverse side of the aluminum checker plate and the original mounting brackets from the old H4 lamps to attach the plate. I used long screws with springs so that the lamps could still be adjusted. The lamps came with a plug connector, so I didn't have to rewire anything. A parking light needs to be added next to the LED lamp, as this wasn't included in the LED lamp (not yet visible in the pictures). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warum ich mich f\u00fcr LED Scheinwerfer entschieden habe. Geringerer Stromverbrauch:LEDs ziehen deutlich weniger Strom \u2013 wichtig bei \u00e4lteren LKWs mit schwacher Batterie oder wenn man viel im Stand steht.Weniger Batterielast:Besonders relevant, wenn Zusatzverbraucher (Heizung, K\u00fchlschrank etc.) mitlaufen. LED = l\u00e4ngere Batterielaufzeit.Kaum W\u00e4rmeentwicklung:LEDs werden nicht hei\u00df \u2013 ideal bei engen Einbauverh\u00e4ltnissen oder schlechter Bel\u00fcftung alter Geh\u00e4use.
