Hi, should a PM appear in my inbox? If so nothing received.
Should have done, I’ll try again.
How was the drive home Tony?

Relaxed....a ray of light now shines on the road. All the coding working, locking, lights etc. Great job and many thanks for sorting it all out.
No worries, nice to have met you!
Give me a shout if you need anything else.

Good to meet you to and thanks for the offer.
I did mine today also. Caravelle H7’s with Osram LED Side Lights & DRL. Osram Nightbreaker Laser in the dipped beam. Figured out the coding with some help from a mate.
They do perform better. It’s not “oh my god!” better but I can see where I’m going on wet roads at night now.
All in all it’s pretty straight forward job & I’ve only spent £110 in total & I’m still OEM which is nice.

I bought these
has anyone put Led's in the dip beams, if so which ones
I have read that the LED bulbs look brighter but arent actually better at projecting the light than the decent halogen bulbs. its down to the reflector/projector.
You wont get OE quality light projection using the lights designed for halogens.
Just my advice, I havnt fitted LED dipped bulbs, only decent Phillips extreme halogen so nothing to compare.
Do a Google search for "Auto Express H7 test" they measure the light at various distances using scientific testing things!!
Have a look at the Headlight Revolution channel on YouTube. They’ve tested a huge amount of different halogen, Xenon and LED lamps and while many of the beam patterns are a bit dodgy, they are getting better, and some of the LEDs are getting more than double the light output of OE halogens
I did try some hid in a Sharan with H7s. The beam was very dodgy, no flat with kick at all just round like a torch!!
Just another thought also @Richard Wood the problem with LEDs and the DAB reception on the T6.
I’ve never tried aftermarket HIDs, I guess the problem is getting the projector design right. I’m quite keen to try LED lamps though, I might experiment a bit if I do get round to buying some H7 lights
Main reason for considering led was the lifespan, looking at the light units that have arrived today bulb changes are going to be interesting
Me too. I offered £150 collected and he excepted. Still had 5 sets to sell when I was there.
Do you have any details? - he isn't listing any at the moment.
His name is Antony, try him at £150 plus post if that’s what someone else on here got them for, their a bargain, let us know!
I paid £69 for mine on EBay. Seller usually has sets for sale.

You paid £69 for a pair of Caravelle H7 headlights?!!!!
