Mick, check these out. I have the 150w halogen, same as LandyAndy IIRC. R2D2 was doing some good deals on FYRLYT products, through Whitehorse I think.

No i don't, but i do remember posts that he was looking for lights from china to onsell, the first few lots weren't adr approved, then soon after had adr stamped on them. I questioned him about his lights, nothing malice, he went on to tell me that 6500k is the perfect colour for our eyes, fyrlyt are full of ****, etc..etc..then he blocked me, told everyone i was a troll, threatened me with lawyers, told everyone he invited me around to discuss this, not sure what he was trying to prove there and he never invited me at all, and on it went.
He has also blocked tombie, badco., and many many others, all just for challenging his interlect.
I looked at them and decided to try something cheaper first. I bought a pair of LED H4 globes with braided heatsinks, rather than fans, as the space is a bit tight, and you can retain the rubber covers. The improvement is quite amazing. Much longer distance, much brighter, and of course they are white. The only thing I found was that both the dip and main beam were lower and so I had to raise the lights using the adjusters. I centred the mains at the correct height and found the dip beam were spot on. The beam pattern is not as tight as the OEM LEDS in my other car, but the stock beam patterm was poor anyway, so no loss there. Overall I am very happy with the outcome.
Interfere with your radios?
My guess is that you thread the cover over the braided loops and onto the LED body at the rear.
With the philips, it's kind of a bit opposite. You assemble the light into the headlight, place the rubber boot over the LED body as you normally do then screw the heatsink(passive, no fan) over the led body.
So the heatsink stops the rubber cover 'coming off'.
A bit of a PITA to change the globe as the heatsink has to be screwed off first .. so in a sense it's tedious to do comparisons between LED and halogen easily.
I do have a pair of headlights I can fit up one day to do some comparisons to show how well these LEDs work.(no time tho).
My primary option was to get the same type as those braided heatsink types, for that ease of fitting too, but the only ones I could find were no names. So in the end I 'ponied up' and went with the Philips. That was simply for a bit more peace of mind with respect to the electronics side of them(ie. the driver box).
I'm right I think in saying that these H7 etc LED kits for Halogen based headlights are still illegal.
