I'm considering them for my '57 panel and wanted to see pics and hear feedback.

These look interesting:

I ordered LED headlights a couple of days ago. Not like the ones in your link. The ones I bought were plain 7" headlamps designed for H4 halogen bulbs; bulbs need to be ordered separately. I also bought LED bulbs designed to replace H4 halogen bulbs. The bulbs are only 26 watts, so they draw less current than the old sealed beams. (no relays required)

I'm sceptical that they headlights will fit, but this review on amazon was encouraging:

Hi there
The glass profile is flater.
Other than that it fits my 50 chevy pick up perfect.
I installed a set of LED bulbs and the difference is night and day to the old bulbs
I had no issues with my headlight bezel or inner ring
Hope that helps you.

I'm sure it's a typo and he meant flatter. i.e. The curvature of the front of the replacement headlights is less than the curvature of the old sealed beams. Hella replacement headlamps are like that.

Evan may be a member here. If you are reading this, thanks for the review.

I was totally kidding, thus my smiley face.

I knew what they were trying to say.
