Talking Here's a new one= LED Headlights?

I saw a Q-45 Infinity and I remember the headlights on those are LED headlight bulbs. Anyone know of a mod like this?. Could it exist?

If there is a will to create and experiment, there could be a way you try and we'll follow if it comes out

i dont think an LED headlight will produce enough light to see 6 inches in front of the car. HID on the other hand is awesome, assuming it's installed correctly.

LEDs can be pretty bright, but in order to light up so bright, they need to be very tightly focused like the LEDs in LED flashlights. Since they are focused so tightly, you'd need LOTS of LEDs to actually output a wide enough stream of light in front of you. And white LEDs are expensive - they can run a couple bucks apiece depending on where you look.

Anyway, probably feasible, but probably not nearly worth the cost.

Yeah, LEDs can be very bright. I just saw a Q-45 two hours ago picking up dinner and standing behind it it lights up the front of the car as well as HIDs. I don't know about the need to focus LEDs, but the Q-45 didn't seem to have a focused beam of light in front of it. Had a fairly wide field of bright white light.
