I did look on www.ultraleds.co.uk where I had my interior ones from but I couldn't find em , ANY IDEAS FOLKS

Legal?

Doubt it, because you wont light the road up at all :S

Why do you think that?

IIRC there are cars with LED headlights already ............. whether LED's will work in a halogen lens is a different matter altogether.

I think you will find they are meant for fog light H7. I do not think they are suitable for headlamps ,may not satisfy the CANBUS power requirment.

I would find the manufacturer name and spec before buying off EBAY if I were you.

I'm very doubtful that they would be road-legal. I notice there is no mention of them being 'E' marked.

As with all things, you pays your money and you take your chance. But getting a prohibition Notice on the hard shoulder, that would not be fun.

Thanks for the replies

What are the best bulbs to get to give you the HID effect etc rather than the yellow glow of OEM bulbs , same goes for side light bulbs ???????

Philips seem to have the HID effect range in abundance!

They dont seem to last longer than 12 months though!

The Philips blue vision 501 sidelight bulbs give off a bright white light (despite the blue coating on them) and they will last longer than an LED - mine are now 3 years old.

i have purchased these cheap led.s before, for the house and the car only to have my fingers burnt i bought a set of bulbs from china only to have the wrong ones sent then wait 2 weeks for replacements only to mess on fitting them and the were rubbish so replaced with halfords for £30 and for the house they blew the pcb in my new cooker hood ( never again ) hope this helps ..will

If you are looking for a cheap xenon H7 bulb upgrade but don't want the expense/hassle of a full HID xenon conversion kit, then these are very good - xenon max H7

I matched them with the Philips blue vision W5W sidelights (that to me are not blue but a very white light - loads better than the OEM yellow bulbs). Fitting was very easy for the H7's (couple of minutes each side to swap over, no tools required), but the sidelights are more fiddly and I needed to ease the old bulbs out with a couple of screwdrivers eventually (but long nosed pliers would have been better, had I had any). The results are good - brighter white light (compared to the previous yellow), quick and cheap - and road legal
