Bi Xenon - anyone upgraded Main Beam?
« on: November 26, 2016, 08:48:50 pm »
As above - dipped is the oem gas discharge jobbies but main beam are halogen.

Has anyone binned off the halogen for LED yet?  LED bulb seem to have come on significantly recently.

Maybe even in the fogs?

Something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232031128548

I've not looked under the bonnet yet.  These are the measurements of the LEDs.

I've  got these beauties:

2014 New 72w 6400lm H8/H9/H11 Cree LED Headlight Conversion Kit Lamp Bulb White

A good bonus I have found so far (finger crossed) is that as they have the little pack to run the bulbs / fans they don't throw a error code on the dash!
