Hello all. Does anyone have any recommendations on what specific manufacturer/brand to use if considering updating from original halogens to LED headlights? I have a Mk1 Cobra. Thank you.

I've been doing some research myself. Found a great channel on YouTube for review:

That video was bulb replacements, they also have one reviewing various 7" round headlight housing replacements as well. They show beam patterns and more.

I also have a Mk1 Cobra.
I converted all my lights to LED.
Mark Reynolds at Breeze has the complete conversion you are looking for.
Mark is a supporting vendor and you won’t find better customer support.
It’s crazy how much more light the LED headlights make over the FFR supplied lights.

Just finished installing Breeze LED headlights yesterday in my MK3. Simple install with great results. As mburger says Mark's customer service is great.

I was thinking of getting these as well for the front and rear. Do you need any diodes or different wiring since they are LEDs?

The kit from Breeze comes with the correct turn signal relays. Just swap them out.

Just look for 7" LED headlights like the ones used on Jeeps. There are a lot to choose from. These are the ones I bought - I think they are at a decent price and performance, and have the retro, reflector headlight look that I like.

You can also replace all the bulbs in your turn and brake lights by finding LED compatible bulbs. I bought red LEDs for the brake and tail lights, and amber for the turn signals up front. You will also need to replace your flashers with LED compatible ones. You are looking for an 1157 LED bulbs. Here are the products that I bought and they are all working great so far.

Breeze's kit is a complete package and and at a great price too!
