LED Headlight Bubs

JTHSPACE · 05-20-2015, 06:36 AM

After reading about LED headlight bulbs elsewhere in the Forum, I investigated them for my car. I have a Nissan Juke which had pretty poor normal bulbs. I changed them for an after-market HID replacements which, technically, are illegal in Europe unless fitted as a factory option. I wont bore you with the regulations . . .

Anyway, the light pattern is "scattered" due to the glass pattern and other drivers often complain about the glare, so I decided to replace the HID with LED.

I have purchased the lamps as per this link - Ebay UK. I looked at lots of options, did not go with the cheapest and hope that my choice is going to be O.K. Delivery is by slow-boat from China, so a few weeks to wait.

Those are pretty dear, but the design seems to be excellent. Please let us know how the installation and operation goes for you.

Yep, there were cheaper ones listed, but I thought, looking at the construction, these seemed a better buy. I will update when they (eventually) arrive from China.

I also bought some of these to stick to the lower forks of the Skyteam Raptor - for the money it was worth an experiment.
