Some time ago (2015, actually) Randall Young posted about converting his TR=
3 to LED headlights:


" I bought Hella H4 headlight conversions from BusDepot.com (who have a  gr=
eat deal on them at the moment)

JZ51kh4ZURy4G3D5XC1FDilVZrbUXMDt2E74bfJslvIad4Dic$>



 Plus 30 watt LED H4 inserts from eBay, like these

 There are lots of choices available there and I can't say for sure that th=
ese are any better or worse than others.  But I liked the fan

 idea (LEDs are very sensitive to heat and keeping them cool will make them=
 last longer) and felt they were worth trying."



I duly went out and bought exactly what Randall was suggesting, which inclu=
ded 60W 6000LM Cree LED Headlight 30W bulbs (H4 Hi-Lo).



They have lasted well, but one finally went out last night.



I can no longer find the Cree bulbs:  Does anyone have experience with alte=
rnative bulbs which would work (ideally with the fan function)?
