No plastic. OEM level wiring and connections. It took a little fiddling to get all 4 lined up, but I now have a pretty crips and consistent cut off with all 4 low beams illuminated. The high beams are actually better than the Dapper Lighting 5.75s. Obviously they weren't cheap, but this is definitely a case where you get what you pay for.

If you have any questions about the install, give me a shout....pretty much plug and play.
I was the general sales manager at a bmw/vw/honda franchise for quite some time. Nothing compares to BMW headlights. They are the pinnacle of production car headlights. Ruined me.

Hi Andrew,

I put together my own LED headlight kit and installed it in my '67 coupe, dramatically improving the headlight illumination compared to the stock incandescent T-3 type lamps. This all for about $170, including 4 LED bulbs and new glass headlamp housings. It was pretty much plug and play. All is detailed here:

FLYNVY30, I'm about to order these for my '67. Did you have to do anything special to wire up the high beams or no?


Thank you,


Rob
