I have tried a few different versions of drop in lamps. Some don't even have
high-low beam capability. Still, with worn out reflectors and sand blasted
lenses bulbs are not the issue. Our headlights simply need to be replaced.
If this is not a complete lamp I will be a bit disappointed.

Sounds like a drop in led bulb for stock lamps. Will be interesting to see
how well that works. Pics on site showing beam pattern not conclusive.

I wonder if the led drop in has heat sink and fins sticking out at the back.
I didn't see any pics of the actual bulb on the site. Did I over look it?

Plenty of choices for drop in led bulbs already out there. What makes camper
van culture version different would be interesting to know.

Hers an example from bangood. Philips copy? Has fan on rear fins. Not sure
if van has space behind lamp for this model
