    I did'nt go LED, due to CANbus consideration. But there are LED twin filament options now.

    I don't think I will need them, I am very happy with the result. I hope they last longer than the OEM ( 3 months )

    Where did you find the globes? I have been wanting to do this since the day I picked up the car.

    I assume you have the dual filament globe 21/5?

    I ordered online a place in vic, bling work automotive. Very helpful via email. Quick del too.

    Yes, my lights are 21/5w . T20

    Straight swap . I think the OEM yellow spoils the whole front end.

    Hey BJM
    Ive ready changed the HIR2 for HID 55 watt.
    Really brought them to life out in the bush.
    Looking at the LED for the fogs. See if I can prise a little usefulness out of them.

    Wouldn't those LED lights you posted above be for the headlights and not the fog lights though?

    I did see your HID thread already. I'm not overwhelmed by the OEM HID lights in our Subaru Forester... I'm still undecided on that upgrade.

    D4 MY2014 DRL Upgrade

    H11 fit into the fog light fitting. LED shouldn't have heat issues like upgraded halogens.

    I have missed my bi-xenons from
    My old D3 since switching to
    The D4. I had no
    Option to get factory ones, as time was very limited, and there were no discos available at the time.

    I was worried the projectors might be patchy with the upgrade, but I am delighted with the range and fill. The HIR2 were very average compared.

    Interesting reading guys. I have had great success with a set of Narva 71910 DRLs which set nicely in the grill.IMG_0027.jpg
