Led dipped beam

Post by Asamoli »

Does anyone know any decent led replacements for the standard halogen h7 dipped headlights I have on my car, I've tried both Philips and osram halogens and I want something a bit whiter and clearer. Thanks in advance

You can try a eBay LED kit. You'll need the kits with the ballasts, much like the HID kits, not the standalone bulb.

But note that LEDs get extremely hot at the rear and their light output is governed by temperature and these kits may be unreliable.

HID kits also offer whiter light at 6000k, or slightly bluer at 8000k.

Without the correct headlight mechanisms and types, neither of these are legal.

For standard halogen bulbs, I rated Osram Night Breaker Unlimited very highly.

my LED headlights are self levelling is this a feature or are they required by law.
Can you swap halogen for LED with manual adjusters ?
