T6 H7 Bulbs

[neekstan]

Hey folks,

I’ve just purchased some H7 lights for my T6 to replace the standard H4’s. G revision so should be good on the DRL holders.

I’d like to upgrade the bulbs now (before install) so I don’t have to worry about them for a few years. Does this set look like a good option?

If not, some recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The Osram LEDs will give you a bulb failure warning as they are not Canbus compatible. The Nightbreakers also have a shorter lifespan than lower power bulbs so you may find you need to change them more often. Depends how important ultimate brightness is vs longevity.

I went with Twenty20 LEDs from ABD for the DRLs and have no issues with bulb warnings. For the H7 bulbs I went with Osram Intense Blue. All have been fitted for 2 1/2 years now with no issue.

The VW factory original fit LED Lamps are quite good. I have no idea what comparative £price the might be. However Mrs has a Yeti Motion Elegance with HID bendy lights which are really excellent and shows up the Caravelle lights by a long way having far greater intensity, spread, depth and range and can turn with the steering, spoilt.

Colour temperature, it is better for seeing where we go if bulbs lamps and so, are in a temperature range that is not too extreme because the human eye is not linier in its efficiency. I believe this might become be more of a case as we age.

DRLs: Another vote for Twenty20 from ABD.

H7: Philips ExtremePro 150 (if they still do them or similar) give uprated output with OEM lifespan.

That is very good quality control. I think that Philips probably lead the field in lab work and attention to detail. I suspect that might be why bulb manufacture has improved particularly geometry and consistency which led the way for the EU to accept certain LED bulbs to have the OK for certain replacement with normal halogen bulbs. So some vehicles and Philips and Osram certain certificated LED bulbs can be used as replacements We would need to wait for UK Government approval which might take for ever as this may not be a priority for them. It might be interesting if an EU vehicle came to these shores with a EU Certificated LED replacement bulb and where stopped for having illegal LED over here. How would the authority look at the matter and the LAW.
