Some time ago (2015, actually) Randall Young posted about converting his TR=
3 to LED headlights:

" I bought Hella H4 headlight conversions from BusDepot.com (who have a  gr=
eat deal on them at the moment)

http://www.busdepot.com/0301600118

 Plus 30 watt LED H4 inserts from eBay, like these

http://tinyurl.com/nwxm7w2

 There are lots of choices available there and I can't say for sure that th=
ese are any better or worse than others.  But I liked the fan

 idea (LEDs are very sensitive to heat and keeping them cool will make them=
 last longer) and felt they were worth trying."

I duly went out and bought exactly what Randall was suggesting, which inclu=
ded 60W 6000LM Cree LED Headlight 30W bulbs (H4 Hi-Lo).

They have lasted well, but one finally went out last night.

I can no longer find the Cree bulbs:  Does anyone have experience with alte=
rnative bulbs which would work (ideally with the fan function)?
