I tried their 7" halogens on my '54 and was not overly impressed with their beam pattern and was completely disappointed with their LED's because eventhough they were supposed to work on 6 volts they would barely glow. When I called their support I was told "just crank the car and you may have to adjust your voltage regulator". I asked what happens when my fan belt breaks and was met with silence. I realize you are in the 12 volt world but still their support left me with a very sour taste. The smaller lamps may be fine. I went with Holley Retrobrights (eventhough they don't make 6 volt lamps but that wasn't so hard to outbushwhack). I'm willing to bet I have the best headlights on a 6 volt Corvette and I couldn't be more pleased with their brightness, current draw, and beam pattern. The real trick was installing 12 volt lamps while not cutting or splicing the harness nor drilling any new holes anywhere. The only downside is that the Holley's are pricey but in my view well worth it.

Only headlight I would put in there are the Holley Retrofits.
They have the best review. Otherwise don't bother.
Expensive, but what isn't these days for the best.
