I ordered for this again. lets see how it goes this time..btw, i swapped the bulbs and still problem exists...so its not anything else other than the bulb itself. 

Ask for refund then.10£ is 10£ still

[automass]

I asked for it fat41. but seller is a knobhead . he asked me to make a video and show it to him which i did, but now what he was saying me is to connect the light with voltage dc12v..I can't bother for this...I already ordered for another pair and left him a feedback about the first pair.

 

Well, i am also thinking to upgrade stop/tail light and also indicator light. I've found some good quality one which i tempt to buy but all of them are seem to be for off road use only.

will it really be a big problem following by an accident if I have led light bulbs inserted instead off standard halogen light bulbs? I am really bit hesitating.

Slightly off-topic but I have ordered these for my rear indicator lights on my FL. Been 3 weeks and worked really well without any errors - did a detailed research before deciding on these:

Weird no one mentioned this before on this thread, but... I ordered the same bulbs most everyone has recommended and, sure enough, they are bright... BUT!

...the light spread is rubbish - I still have to test them further, but I feel I am going back to the old bulbs, since I don't feel the road behind me is well lit enough.

I think if there is a wall behind, they might work better but, honestly, am I the only one noticing this?

If you mean the reverse bulbs? I find them super bright as you say but I don't have a problem with the light spread of them either! I was working late Friday night (England is getting dark now by 5pm onwards) & I was parked in a dead-end alley so I had no option to reverse out & the road behind me was well lit from my reverse bulbs, I could clearly see where I was reversing from using my wing mirrors & the light spread/pattern seems wide enough for me to see the road behind. I even said to myself "good job for these reverse bulbs" because the alley way was so dark.

Which bulbs you ended you getting? Mine is probably the brightest I have seen for a reverse bulb!

I got the same ones as everyone else on this thread- mind you, they are bright - no question to that. Just not so convinced yet about the spread.

[BATVANVRS]

I'll try & get you a few pictures tonight when it gets dark here so at least you can see the general light pattern

Well forgot to mention that I found mine very well lit/spread too - got the missus to reverse the other day while looking at them. In fact they been good enough to help with lighting for the reverse cam as what I shared few posts above.

[BATVANVRS]

A few pictures for you @Jaco2k as promised, hopefully will be useful 

 

[Jaco2k]

I need to do a comparison shot

Maybe mine looks the same and I am just blind..

[Jaco2k]

It's official: I am blind

 

 

To be totally true, the pic makes it look brighter than what it looked to my naked eye - I still don't think it is as dramatic as it sounds on this thread, but OK... I will live with it

Philips do a H7 LED which should be very good quality, however it's not cheap:

Also never seen a LED in a halogen housing in person so not sure how well the light focuses etc. With HID kits it was terrible.

I've read just about everywhere that you would be wasting your money swapping out the standard HIDs for LEDs as ahenners says you need the complete unit due to focusing.

Mine is standard halogen, not even HID..what I want is more brightness on the dark..I bought phillip racing blue or something like that which says will provide 150% more brightness..but this is all lie..

I want direct replacement of my H7 55w light bulb...not with any kind of conversion kit..

Did anyone upgrade their headlight and really happy about it?

nightbreakers seem to be the best option for direct standard halogen replacement.

[automass]

I bought "Philips Racing Vision 150% Extra Light H7" whereas nightbreaker claims to have 130%, but still i can not see any different. light output is as same as the standard one. this is all bull**** 150% or 130%. and by the way, one of the bulbs has got blown already..i bought them exactly two months ago.

[KevC_Derby]

MIne are 34 months old and still fine.

[Guest DobriKnotzGutenMorgan]

Osram Night breakers are better than standard and particularly good for country driving due to their wider focus....

Hi all,

 

just put the same reversing bulbs as recomended look to be much brighter, I found a little dab of lube on the pegs made the light pop in very easy.

I have attached some pics to give you a clue how they look

 

just the left changed

 

Both changed

On the end,  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2x-1156-BA15S-30W-CREE-LED-With-Lens-360-Degree-Shine-Driving-Lamp-Bulb-Auto-Car/32395328134.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.259.2ebc3c00ssB6bO 

 

1. Would you recommend these LED bulbs for reverse lights or not? Are they good enough to bright area behind car or just are bright and blind someone who are look at it?

 

2. Would be same bulbs (in yellow color) applicable for front and back turn signal?

 

3. Would be same bulbs (in white color) applicable for front auxiliary light (I am not sure what is correct word in English) on xenon headlamp?

 

Thank you for your answers.

Ok I will share my xp.

(if you get 3 products from MKCauto-the 3 products above for example- you get 20% off of the whole order. Also no need to code for these bulbs above. Also the light output is really crisp and nice)

For Reverse lights use these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2x-1156-BA15S-30W-CREE-LED-With-Lens-360-Degree-Shine-Driving-Lamp-Bulb-Auto-Car/32395328134.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dnG33Bi
(no need to code, and they produce pure nice white light, maybe about 5k)

Front Fogs: you need H11 fitting for vRS, 4 of them. I got mine from Argocity on Ebay, but the recent batch is not good because if has yellow tint so I dont recomment them anymore for H11 fogs, however the price is good as you can get 4 bulbs for 20£....but like I said now as of 6.3.19 they have yellow tint and I dont like that. I actually got 3 white and 1 yellow-ish bulb from them and now I need to source 1 more the same white bulb to match the rest 3. They said they dont have the "old" - pure white - batch anymore....OMG.
