Hi

I finally fitted LED headlights and thought I would post the results.

I didn't add it to the previous thread because it seems the technology has moved on, as it always does

These are the ones I bought, I have added a pic as well for when the ebay link no longer works

H4 LED Headlight Lamp 5600LM Cree COB Conversion KIT H4 High LOW 6000K Black | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121411771315)

The pics are one of the type of bulb installed, one of the light pattern with a halogen in the left and an LED in the right and finally one of the pattern with both LEDS

Overall I find them perhaps a little brighter than the halogens and I hope they are a lot more rugged

I was considering a set of these, thanks for taking the plunge!

Any dash error messages?

Will watch for updates after a few drives.

Cheers

Thanks Steve.

A suggestion if someone else does a conversion...

Set the camera in a fixed position on the dash or, if you have a tripod, on the driver's seat.

Don't use auto exposure- set the camera manually so the same settings are used for all pix.

Take a reference pic before changing any globes.

Hi Ron

It was a quick and dirty exercise, the comparison one was all that was needed really.

It would also help to park the car in the same spot at the same angle :angel:

Would like a photo on a flat road showing the real pattern, not the wall projection which can be a bit misleading...

No worries I can do that, these photos were more about the cutoff point of low beam, which seems to be fine when compared to the halogens. When I pull up behind smaller vehicles my lights are not shining through their back window

Once it stops blowing a gale and pouring with rain i'll take a couple of pics and post them!

Finally :angel:

Note that high beam H1's are a 6000K halogen, not LED's

That's a clean beam. No hot spots or dark zones.

Yes i'm pretty happy with them, I am even thinking they could be raised a fraction. I might try to get them on a headlight aligner and see how they look
