LED headlight bulbs

Postby Inimbrium » Mon Mar 20, 2017 9:17 am

Hi all

So I like the idea of having brighter, bluer lights, but I don't want to spend too much, so HID Xenons are out of the question. I've found some LED ones on ebay.

Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they any good/reliable? Are they easy to fit? Or are they compatible at all?
They seem to have fans. does that mean I don't put the plastic cap on at the back of the headlight? I'm worried water/dirt will get in.
I want to replace both the dipped beam and full beam. Also the side lights.

Here are the links:

Well this is a late reply but since noones answered.... general consensus is LED is not powerful enough to be minimised to fit in a headlight, without having extreme heat dissipation issues. Also, the spread is not 360 like from a filament, so these chinese bulbs are no way near as effective over long distance as a good xenon/standard bulb. You'd be best getting a quality Philips/Hella/OSRAM bulb etc
