LED-replacement for halogen high beam

[TrondOstli]

Hi. Has anyone tried LED replacement for the high beam on the 3T4? The car has bi-xenon headlights, and I believe tha the high-beam bulb is a H3.

Eagerley awaiting the results. I have been asking for a while bit no response. 

 

I think ebays novsight or nighteye is the best kit, but im worried about fitting as the main beam doesn't have much space for the fan.

Job done!

Went for xenons on high beam after strong recommendations from the dealer. So now I have all 6000k lights, except for the fog lights. They will follow, and they will be replaced with 6000k LED.

How's the beam pattern? Are they 35W?

[TrondOstli]

They are 35W, but I have'nt tested them in the dark yet. Did the job yesterday, and took a beer to celebrate😄 Will be tested to night, though. But I am not worried, because the high beam bulbs are just helpers. It's the xenons that are doing the job. So I imagine that with xenons as helpers as well, the pattern will be the same, and the light will be much brighter. But I will be back after testing to night.

Put a link or pic of them pls

[TrondOstli]

Will do.

[TrondOstli]

It was raining cats and dogs last night, but I managed to take a couple of pics.

Have no "before" pics...

 

[foru2justnv]

Any pics of the bulbs

[TrondOstli]

Lit or before mounting?

[foru2justnv]

Before mounting.

Also in the pics its hard to tell, what do you say the difference in light output? 

[TrondOstli]

Pics taken from the dealers website. I would say the light output is radically enhanced.

[TrondOstli]

...as well as the color of the light. Much whiter and better looking, wich was part of the reason for doing this in the first place. Had to replace the original xenons as well, as they started to get pink. Went for 6000k instead of the OEM 4350k.

These are hids and not led. 

They wont last long. They are not suitable for main beam. They take 5 seconds or so to warm to full brightness and not instant. 

 

But yes they will be brighter

[TrondOstli]

I know that. As I said earlier LEDs was taken off the table, since they are not recommended for main beam. Why do you meen they want last long? There is'nt room for LEDs with fans anyhow.
