    Can you remove the cover of that box? Looks like an aftermarket LED or HID lamp with driver.

    With that giant heat sink and braided wire it definitely looks like an aftermarket LED.

    I think your pictures just show the bulb holder. I'd suggest you open that "spring clamp" arrangement thing, pull the bulb holder back, and look at the actual "bulb" -- might just be a (now) conventional H1 or H4 or something else bulb.

    Well, at least you know they are LEDs, so that will help narrow the search.

    Try using Google image search. I just did and saw many possibilities, too many to list here.

    When trying to find parts like this, Google image search is your friend. Best to start with an image of the part on a neutral background, or cropped in close for best results.

    I would also offer there are probably better H4 type replacement LEDs out there today.

    +1 -- the good thing is that that was a "plug-n-play" installation and no harness modification (and I know that there are "just plug it in" modern options out there).

    Thanks guys. My Google Foo was weak last night. Never crossed my mind to use Google image. I found some Philips H7 that have a fan in them to keep them cool . I also found some on Amazon that will work but they are a brand I know nothing about.

    We all in this together, so why not help out when you can:). I know I've learned a ton on this forum, from many contributors.
