Guvs Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Will be interesting to see if yours activates the alarm after locking (only for a few seconds explained in the thread below) not all the time very intermittent fault, but I think or hope it's my siren alarm battery playing up, mine is a 2012 year so could be due a new one, I've read about this fault on other threads and it sound very similar symptoms to that fault. Otherwise they work fine no faults on the Canbus system, there's another thread going same subject (LED's) here :- Here they are :- https://www.horizonleds.co.uk/led-headlight-kits/led-headlight-kits-generation3-philips/3rd-gen-v2-luxeon/h7-philips-luxeon-led-headlight-v2 but just noticed he has a Mk 2 987 Guvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrolhead Posted March 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Went for a quick boat. Seem better but distance of light not as good as I hoped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I put these in the dipped beam of my citroen estate. Great white light and I never get flashed even driving in Europe without beam deflectors. Might do the high beams too but the base is very big so I'm not sure there will be space. I'll prob do the dipped on the boxster too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
