V6reu Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I have fitted bright H7 halogen bulbs but they are still not great and wanted something with a Whiter light , the lenses are in excellent condition and not discoloured inside, spent a long time looking at the options but wanted some advice from anyone who has fitted and tested something that is a good option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.I.T.T. Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 The simplest solution would be to procure a pair of litronics, and fit in conjunction with a pair of decent D2S bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfprorich Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 As above, and don't be tempted to stick HIDs in non-projector headlights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Litronics certainly benefit even from fresh standard bulbs and are a decent step up on the standard H7 units for dipped beam, you are still on H7 main beams with Litronics, so don't expect too much.

V6reu Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Looked at a secondhand pair of genuine litronic headlights but they are £700 , more than I wanted to spend for used parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulQ Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just now, V6reu said: They all seam to be saying to only use in projector headlights , did the have a correct pattern when you used them ? They work just fine in reflectors (I've tried a few different types on my car) provided you buy decent ones and set them up properly. The beam pattern isn't that much dfferent from halogen tbh and will pass an mot no problem. They are all technically illegal though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must take care ensuring they are correctly lined up though. Bright white light. Expensive but worth it. Beware there are a lot of fakes floating about so, ensure you buy from a reputable supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulQ Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 You can buy lights for 30 pounds that do have genuine Philips LEDs, but yes there are some fakes out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
