Coops’ stunning Ford XB Falcon Coupe has received a modern lighting upgrade thanks to Bangin’ Headlights.

As one of the winners of our second Bangin’ Headlights giveaway, Coops scored a set of 7-inch curved-glass LED projector headlights for his classic XB.

LED vs H4 Halogen Headlights

The XB’s existing lighting made night driving difficult, so George and Phil swapped the old setup for the new LED headlights.

We also compared the LEDs directly against a traditional H4 halogen conversion.

The difference was impressive. The LEDs produced a brighter, wider and more controlled beam, while also using considerably less power.

In our test, the LED setup drew less than 14 watts, compared with more than 60 watts from the H4 halogen setup.

The curved-glass design also helps retain the classic appearance of the XB while providing the benefits of modern LED lighting.

A Tough 351 Cleveland XB Falcon

The headlights aren’t the only thing worth checking out on Coops’ XB.

Under the bonnet is a 351 Cleveland V8 with 2V alloy heads and a Comp Cam, backed by a C4 automatic and nine-inch diff.

Other highlights include:

• Three-inch stainless exhaust
• 31-spline axles
• Custom Simmons wheels
• Massive 315 Mickey Thompson rear tyres

It’s a tough combination that suits the unmistakable shape of the Ford XB Falcon Coupe perfectly.

Would You Upgrade to LED Headlights?

For classic-car owners, LED headlights can provide much better nighttime visibility without necessarily taking away from the traditional appearance of the car.

But we know not everyone agrees!

Would you upgrade your classic to LED headlights, or stick with traditional H4 halogens?

Modified Land Rover Defender TD5 Gets a Bangin’ Headlight Upgrade

Rich’s 2002 Land Rover Defender TD5 is built for serious four-wheel driving and camping, but there was one part of the build letting it down—the headlights.

The Defender was already fitted with aftermarket LED headlights, but their light output simply wasn’t good enough.

After winning the Aussie Garage and Bangin’ Headlights Christmas giveaway, Rich brought the Defender in for an upgrade to a set of Bangin’ Traditional 7 LED headlights.

Traditional Looks, Modern LED Performance

The Bangin’ Traditional 7 LED headlights are designed for enthusiasts who want better lighting without giving their vehicle an overly modern appearance.

They feature:

• Classic glass-lens appearance
• Slim headlight housing
• Warm-white LED light
• Australian right-hand-drive beam pattern
• Simple plug-and-play installation

The traditional design is a great match for the Defender, keeping its classic 4WD appearance while providing a much-needed lighting upgrade.

Old LEDs vs Bangin’ Traditional 7

George demonstrates how easy the headlights are to install before putting them to the test.

Using the workshop wall, we compare Rich’s old generic LED headlights directly against the new Bangin’ Traditional 7 LED headlights.

The comparison shows why choosing the right LED headlight is about more than simply brightness. A good beam pattern helps put usable light where the driver actually needs it while reducing unnecessary glare.

This Defender TD5 Is Far From Standard

While the headlight upgrade brought Rich into the workshop, we couldn’t leave without checking out the rest of his impressive modified Land Rover Defender TD5.

The TD5 turbo-diesel engine has been modified to produce approximately 220 hp and 500 Nm of torque.

It also features an impressive list of off-road upgrades, including:

• Adjustable airbag suspension
• Front and rear winches
• Front and rear lockers
• Beadlock wheels
• Rock sliders
• Upgraded and sound-deadened interior

It’s a Defender that’s been built to actually get out there and be used.

Built for Camping and Touring

Rich has also transformed the Defender into a capable camping and touring setup.

A custom camping canopy and storage system provides plenty of room for equipment and recovery gear, while an onboard water tank and shower awning make longer trips much more practical.

Combined with the extensive off-road modifications, it’s an impressive all-round touring package.

A Better Headlight for a Serious Defender

The Bangin’ Traditional 7 LED headlights finish the Defender off nicely, providing modern LED lighting while retaining the traditional round-headlight appearance.

For classic 4WDs and other vehicles running 7-inch round headlights, they’re an option worth considering if you want improved lighting without losing that old-school look.

Watch the full Aussie Garage feature to see the installation, the old-versus-new headlight comparison and a closer look at Rich’s seriously modified Defender TD5.
