    I have found LED headlight bulbs to fit D2

    While looking on Ebay I found some LED headlight bulbs that looked like they would fit in the confined space of a D2 so I took the punt and bought them.
    They certainly are bright and the LED position is the same as QH bulbs so they have a good low beam cutoff. I noted that the same bulbs were sold by another mob in Germany.

    I have shown below the installation and what the beam looks like. please note that the installation shot shows them upside down as the wire input should be to the bottom. The beam shots have flared badly as to the eye they have the LH upward cutoff on low beam.
    The bulb has an Oring seal so the rubber boot is not necessary or possible to fit. So far they look great but I have yet to take a drive but they are brighter than my 130/90s.

    Despite the box there are actually 4 leds in each bulb.
    2 on top for low beam and 2 on the bottom that are added for high beam.

    Well I went for a drive and didn't get flashed from a line of traffic coming the other way.

    The lighting tends to be a bit patchy, however and I will have to find a wall with a flat surface to see if the alignment is OK as I think the RH light is too far to the right. I noticed a bit of reflection from signs on the right side of the road but not really much. The cut off is not as defined/ consistent as with stock bulbs though they do have a defined left shift on low beam. I looked at the traffic coming the other way and the light didn't seem to reach high enough to dazzle drivers

    They certainly put out the lumens on high beam although the 6000K colour temperature tends to wash out colours etc.
    Regards Philip A

    They don't usually check but AFAIR they are e marked as they are sold in Germany , and they are really strict over there with a yearly ADAC check.

    But the listing states not for use on Audi,Merc, BMW,VW so that rules out most of the DE vehicles.

    That is because of the bulb failure feedback on those cars.
    The German site sells resistors that emulate Q H bulb wattage.
