LED Headlight bulbs

[briwy]

Just wondering if anyone has actually fitted these or similar. I'm so fed up with the crap 5.1 headlights, especially on dip, that for the cost I'm thinking of giving these a try. I have already fitted upgraded bulbs but they are still not much good imo.

Yes I am aware that fitting LED bulbs is illegal however our van has air suspension that keeps a constant ride height so I am thinking that should stop any undue dazzle.

You'd have to take them out for MOT also...

Get the Phillips LED bulbs. They are great and our old T5.1 Joker went through its MOT with no issues with them fitted as they passed the beam test.

My 4 has sailed through every post Brexit mot with HID converted halogen headlights which apparently is in contravention of the MOT law.

As long as the beam pattern passes I believe it’ll pass.

As stated, revert of stock for MOT.

Do they give a very white light or not too obvious?

I think the MOT is a farce with regards to headlights.
I bought a Golf recently with Hid lights and a recent MOT.

First drive in the dark revealed the lights were set way too high.
Further investigation found a non OE front level sender unit.
Once that was replaced and the height reset with VCDS, all is fine.

How it passed I’ve no idea?

They are whiter (same as more recent cars), so also worth changing your other bulbs to match. Don’t switch to led indicator bulbs though, they will ‘tick’ inside the van as double speed and display bulb error on the dash…but when you stand outside the van they work as normal!…
