Title: LED h/lamps?
Post by: missmouse on 14 August 2019, 15:47

anyone tried to fit an LED headlamp bulb conversion to these cars? I bought a set off Amazon ( fits most cars!) LOL, unfortunately I found our cars dont have same arrangement as most others & the bulbs are held in a plastic thing that acts as a connector too so cant see how to fit my LEDs! Anybody come up with any way to do this?

Not tried this but if you do get them to fit, you may find they don’t improve your night time visibility - it might actually be worse than with your existing halogen bulbs.

Fitting LED’s in reflector headlamp units designed for halogen bulbs is very likely to produce a poor beam pattern with a high degree of light scatter that’ll dazzle oncoming motorists. It might be better to upgrade your halogen bulbs with something like Osram Night Breakers or Philips Xtreme Vision.
