never thought of that, i know the right hand one is working, i will check the left one

i am stumped, i am trying to get the reflectors away from the black plastic cover
any ideasAttachment 170709

I have been looking at the same thing. On mine the Xenon are D1S bulbs and they are not that good. I am looking trying some D1S 8000k bulbs and I will upgrade the H7 high beam to something brighter.

LED's wont fit mine

i would like to know how you go

Im running stedi LED high beams, they're great. Low beams are more than adequate if you ask me.

from what i can see, the original globe, coulor temp is 4200.
this is a 35W globe, to go to a 6000 which apparently is no brighter, is a 55W globe
thats an increase in wattage of over 50%
would it be safe to do that

Correction - my L322's bi-xenons are 35W, contrary to the specs in the owners manual. It also appears that all D3S are 35W.

I run the + bulbs and are very happy with them, I also put a HID kit into the HIGH BEAM. Getting used to the different coloured light took a while ! No real bright spots, but also not getting the bright reflections of road signs you get with the halogen bulbs. I do run a LED bar light in the grill to give a good light spread to around 80m - 100m
