Having said that, I'm really happy with the way it looks after just popping an led in place of the standard bulb. Now I just gotta upgrade my low beams, high beams and fogs to LED |

Any instructions on how you opened up the housing?

Crazy coincidence. I just posted a DIY. Not easy though. Good luck.

Don't go there - ain't worth the trouble of converting the headlight and all the coding etc.
You have D2S Xenon HID low/high beams (the projector lens is half sheilded on low beam and full projector when on high). Converting to LED is going to require changing a bunch of stiff, both physical and coding (the Xenons are at least self-levelling and are monitored etc.) The jury is out as to which is better - LED or Xenon - but the split seems to be 50/50, so it seems like there's not a lot in it. Maybe add some new D2S Xenon lamps though - many folk swear by Osram Nightbreakers. Also, I thought your ADR laws forbid installing LED in housings made for halogen etc. - I know ours do.

Well heck - they look just like the Bi-Xenons in your photos - who knew? (not me!).

Old Halogen to the left of the image, new LED to the right. These are what I put in. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pair-H7-...gERvLbvQcpLZWw No complaints, yet |

Nice - noticably brighter, even in daylight.
But as I suspected, not legal. Not that anyone will care... Check out the dim grey fine print on the bottom of page 2 & 3 of Narva LED product PDF... https://www.narva.com.au/attachments...20NPR_Sc-1.pdf So what halo lamps did you use?

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-CREE-...72.m2749.l2649 These are the halo lamps I used. I'm very happy with them given the limitations involved with the standard rings. They dont throw any codes or cause any problems. |
