Re: LED Classic Style Sealed Beam Headlights, from Holley/Morimoto
Here is a good drawing of the pin-outs, haven't confirmed it is correct. It would be nice to see it directly from the manufacturer drawings. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/sea...ation.1012504/
I just looked more closely... those appear to be the EXACT connectors I got.
the open wire end has a connector you push those ends through (in the way you want to pin it) and that plugs into the car side.
So far so good. Working on the bezels today for easy bulb changes lol

Re: LED Classic Style Sealed Beam Headlights, from Holley/Morimoto
Reviving this thread for the Holley Days.
On the Holley/Hooker website, these headlights are on sale until December 31. Not huge savings, about $20-$80/pair, depending upon size, which is better than nothing. Also, and more importantly, there are some new options listed for the 4x6 headlights.
One change is that the wiring has been updated and additional harnesses are NOT supposed to be necessary anymore.
Holley RetroBright LFRB140-1 Holley RetroBright LED Forward Facing Light - Modern White (5700K) SUPERSEDES LFRB140
Holley RetroBright LFRB120-1 Holley RetroBright LED Forward Facing Light - Classic White (3000K) - SUPERSEDES LFRB120
Another change is the addition of a High Beam only headlight, which I don't see on any vendor websites. Camaro owners can now have their proper 4-headlight system: two low/high headlights and two high beam headlights. I don't think that was available back when people began buying these.
Holley RetroBright LFRB141 Holley RetroBright LED Forward Facing Light - Modern White (5700K) HIGH-BEAM ONLY
Holley RetroBright LFRB121 Holley RetroBright LED Forward Facing Light - Classic White (3000K) HIGH-BEAM ONLY
And it looks like housings-only are also available now too. They still only take their own LED light cartridge, so I guess these would be for the rare time when a lens/housing might get damaged, then you wouldn't have to purchase a whole new headlight, just a new housing and plug your existing cartridge into it.
Holley RetroBright LFRB190 Holley RetroBright LED Forward Facing Light - Housing Only - Clear Lens - Sold Individually
Holley RetroBright LFRB185 Holley RetroBright LED Forward Facing Light - Housing Only - Clear Lens - Sold Individually
Edit: Something worth noting is that Holley has these headlights listed for the Holley Days sale in the "clearance" section, lumped with the "clearance" parts. Not sure what that means, but people who might be interested in these headlights should probably take advantage of the sale now, or, at least, get in touch with Holley to find out future status. I don't think they're going away, but it would be sad to see them go already, IF that's the plan.

Re: LED Classic Style Sealed Beam Headlights, from Holley/Morimoto
Thanks for posting this updated info LAFireBoyD ! I saw the price drop and for $40 savings on each light, I decided that now was the time to pull the trigger on two 3,000K 4x6" lights . Grand total after tax was $345.38 and shipping is free. Its also a bonus that these are plug and play now too.

Re: LED Classic Style Sealed Beam Headlights, from Holley/Morimoto
One of my earliest Projects for Third-Gens...
Was to revamp and Update/ Upgrade the Entire Exterior Lighting System.
(Interior System came nest).
All exterior Bulbs, Sockets, and Connectors were Updated/ Upgraded to modern Parts.
For example, Front and Rear Parking Lights ... as well as Signal/ Stop Lights...
changed to 3056 and 3057 Push-In Bulbs (No more Push-and-Twist Bayonet Bulbs):
and of course Sealed Delphi Mixed Metri-Pack Connectors (most are re-buildable: Wire Seals, Terminals, Sockets, and Socket Seals):
I absolutely LOVED making entire New Harnesses for the Exterior Lighting System!

Re: LED Classic Style Sealed Beam Headlights, from Holley/Morimoto
I can...
However, I modify the Lamp Housings to receive the New Lamp Sockets.
This is NOT a "Plug and Play" change for the Lights.
This Modification requires cutting out the area of the Lamp Housing that has the Key-Way for the Socket to lock into.
I use a Drill (Hole Saw Bit) for the Diameter of the Key-Way and remove it.
Obtain a Newer GM Lamp that uses the 3056/ 3157 Blade Style Push-In Bulbs and harvest the Key-Way from it.
I Plastic-Weld the New Key-Ways to Our Parking Lamps and Tail Lamps, to use the 3056/ 3157 Blade Style Push-In Bulbs.
If you want the Connector information for this Modification, let me know...
I will Look it up in my Notes.

Re: LED Classic Style Sealed Beam Headlights, from Holley/Morimoto
There is really no cutting...
Just use a Hole-Saw Bit to make a 3/4" Hole and Plastic-Weld on the Donor Key-Way.
Takes less than 1 Minute.
