Do 5 3/4" Daymakers fit into stock buckets?

[wordwarrior]

These look like a more value for money option than the Daymaker here in the UK. A pair for less than one Daymaker! Anybody tried them? Any good? Will be getting my tape measure out to check if they'll fit with minimum grief.

5 & 3/4" Headlight 3850 Lumen LED Pair Headlamp - Furore Products

I've never before heard of Furore and know nothing about the quality record of their product.
I also can not find any testing data for comparison purposes regarding these lights.
It is more expensive as well at $350 per light USD.
Let us know how they works out.

Okay guys. Took the headlight out of one of the shells and with the imprecision of a steel rule measured a few dimensions inside to see if the LED headlight will fit. It might be a little tight but I've taken a punt and ordered a pair. I appreciate that this will be more useful for UK based R3R riders (they do 7" aswell) rather than in the colonies but over here, the Haymakers are prohibitively expensive. at £392.02GBP each ($606USD) the ones I've ordered are £229 for a pair ($354USD) which makes them a whole lot more affordable. Once they've arrived I'll document all the work as best I can so you can make your own minds up. They don't just have H4 Connectivity (they say) there are DRL 'angel eyes' and amber indicators if you want to connect them all in the one package.
Part two to follow once the headlights have arrived.

They use 4 x CREE LED's in the headlight bit apparently.Here's what they say on the website.

"Price is for a pair of lights, drivers & wiring

Brilliant, bright white light, headlamp upgrade for any vehicle fitted with 5 & 3/4" headlights!!!

Will fit any vehicle currently fitted with 5 3/4” headlights (NOTE!! may require minor modification with some headlamp housings - see picture with all dimensions)

LED Projector Headlight - Low Power Consumption (around half that of a halogen headlight)

*** Brilliant 3850 Lumens on main (high) beam & 2400 on dip (low) beam ***

Bring your Lotus 7, Fury, Sylva or any car or motorcycle (we sell these singly for motorcycles, see our other items) fitted with 5 & 3/4" dia. headlamps, bang up to date with these fantastic LED headlights, not only do they look great, but they have built in “Angel Eye” white sidelights & amber indicators & throw 3850 Lumens of brilliant white light (compare with typical 55/60W halogen has 750/850 Lumen) also saves power at 30W per unit

Each light has Dip (low), Main (high), sidelight/DRL (led Halo), & indicator (led Halo). The white Halo light can be used either as a sidelight or as DRL (Daytime running light). When the white halo is switched on & the indicator is selected the halo will flash amber for indicator, when indicator is switched off there is approx. ½ second delay then white halo light switches back on automatically

The white DRL's can be set to rotate/flash around the halo, this should only be used for show purposes or if legal in your country of use - please check your local regulations if using this feature

Service life is 50,000 hours – never change another headlamp bulb, units are supplied with control unit for sidelights/indicator halo

9. Supplied fitted with H4 plug for headlight – almost Plug & Play on many vehicles

10. Wiring instructions included

11. High Quality Aluminium construction for high thermal conductivity

12. Tough Polycarbonate lenses far more durable than glass!


*Some headlight mountings/buckets may need minor modification, if you have doubts about fitment, see drawings for size of lights. The lights are supplied with a Canbus included so will work with Canbus systems

Full wiring instructions are included with the units"​

Nice...thanks for the info.

They could be a bargain or an expensive mistake however, I think I can offload them to a Caterham 7 owner up the road if they don't fit. They're 5-3/4 on his car too.

 

[idk]

Is the 3850 lumens for the pair of lights together or for each light? The wording is very ambiguous.

Good point, I'll let you know. I think their data is based on one looking at the data for one rather than the pair. 5 & 3/4" Headlight 3850 Lumen LED Single Headlamp - Furore Products but who knows. I'll make the commitment so you don't have to
This will be documented.

Anyway you can verify that claimed 3850 lumen? - sounds like a very high claim to me.

Claims are easy, facts are harder to prove but if they're better than the standard candles I'll be happy. Mind you, I think a candle would be better than the OEM.
