We saw these @SEMA and was very impressed, Holley sold out the 1st production lot but we were able to procure (4) Classic White 5.75" pieces. We installed these in our 70RR, after I made a Y connection harness so both pair of LEDs would be switched simultaneously to high & low beam. The LEDs fit perfectly in the RR buckets, and total install time was about 45 minutes. To say the least these LEDs are most impressive, very bright with a wide light dispersion. Yes, they are pricey but IMHO well worth the $$.

Just my $0.02... wink

Normal...
Their dispersion is lower and wide...
I compared their output to my standard OE headlights against the garage door, about the same height but wider and brighter.
To date only been driven @ nite 2X times but no issues from on-coming traffic...

Just my $0.02... wink

So there's no separate lo/high - high beam bulb? I see three 5.3/4" bulbs, yellow, regular white and bright white, all with three wire connections.

The LEDs are low/high, there is no high only LED.
For my setup, I fabricated a "Y" harness using (3) prong H4 connectors so each pair of LEDs are wired in parallel..
So (4) low beams or (4) high beams, but the low beams are pretty bright I don't see using the high beams very much..

Just my $0.02... wink

I am running GE Nighthawk 7" LED headlights in my 51 Plymouth. A vast improvement over incandescent or halogen bulbs, expensive and required converting to 12v negative ground.

A review with pictures

One issue though, they don't get hot enough to melt snow or ice off of them.
