Mine are Bi Xenon,probably the best OEM lights i have ever had on a vehicle.Quote:

Wow. I have bi-xenon and while they’re better than halogen, they’re still poor compared to the additional light of a bar/spot.
With the OEM lights we seem to be comparing apples with oranges.
If you have halogen lights then low beam is H7 halogen (projector or open) and hi beam in the inner light is also H7 halogen and I agree these are not good.
If you have bi xenons, then the HID in the projector is your low beam, however when you switch to hi beam the shield in the low beam projector moves giving you Hi beam from the same HID globe. The H7 halogen globe next to the low beam light which comes on when you switch to hi beam (and also provides the headlight flash funtion) is not your high beam (like it is with the pov pack halogen lights). If you removed the halogen H7 globe you would still have hi beam in Bi-Xenon equipped vehicles.
In bi-xenon equipped cars hi beam is from the Bi Xenon light with the halogen light just fulfilling a secondary function such as headlight flashing and hi beam fill in.
Bi Xenons are good, halogens are crap.

Has anyone tried a LED headlight bulb conversion, I have Bi Xenons and LED spotties so I don't need them, just asking??
Garry, can you describe what area the halogen globe fills in? e.g. wide to the sides or whatever?Quote:

I will be fitting the Stedi H7 Copperhead LED's in the headlight assy where the halogen globes fit once they arrive. My fog lights are also led, as are the bullbar DRL and indicators.Quote:
