4 1/2" led lights for F & S light bar

Rdfroese · 04-06-2017, 11:23 PM

I am asking if the fire and steel light bar which has 4 1/2" sealed beam units on it will accept 4 1/2" led lights, specifically the 60mm or 2 1/2" depth of the led? Thanks.

Theres alot of bolt in LED bulbs....yes, they should fit. The makers of these bulbs will usually tell you if they are a drop in replacement.
If your lamps call for a H4 halogen, go with a H4 LED conversion. If going from a sealed beam to a LED, look on their charts. This one says it does.
Its had to go wrong with Cree....I've been running them for many years....
I love the LEDs for the longevity and their brightness....you won't be disappointed.

I just converted my bike over to all led. I ran new bulbs in the head lamp and in the spots. I went with Stark LED products and ordered from Amazon. I have them in both my vehicles as well. So far so good. Wide beam is amazing. Only thing with LED is distance projection. Not quite as far as a traditional halogen but the amount of light they produce in front and side is amazing. Maybe worth a shot.

My bike had two different driving lights and I wanted to make them match and also wanted to use LEDs. I finally landed on Show Chrome 16-37 replacement spots. They are not cheap, but I am happy with them. They fit on my lightbar with a Memphis Shades batwing and they provide much more light than the old lights did.

I found it really hard to get the depth dimensions from the online websites or the manufacturers.

Those are really nice, and not too expensive. If you get them, I'd love to hear how the install goes

I installed these led aux/passing/driving/fog lights in my fire and steel bar. Not easy when you want to use your light visors; required more patience then I had and so I left them off. http://m.ebay.ca/itm/2x-4-1-2-4-5-LE...ATCHING_ACTIVE
