H4 headlamps with LED bulbs

Here’s a low and high beam from new lights, I’m happy with clean cut off and white light

At Smr72 and are the LED H1 and H7 lamps those supplied with the THQ Mk2s as I think it was on their sister site CamperGlass where it read like the new Mk2s were MOT compliant with LED lamps fitted... I could be making that bit up or more likely wrongly attributing the claims out of blind optimism.

Cheers Zombie, will add the links to my list, was originally looking at some Twenty20 lamps on ABDs site after buying my LED DRL lamps and getting no errors and a satisfactory eye watering crisp white light, weirdly the cheapie LED wedge side light lamps don't throw up a fault either and they were a fivers impulse buy so happy there too.
 
Zombie do the lamps in your link fit in the housing as according to the advert they're 90mm deep, just wondering if the caps will clip back on with these bad boys onboard?
 
I considered these too but was unsure of the legalities around insurance or an accident using led headlights.Instead I went for the H4 halogen 150%, led DRL's and led sidelights (all Twenty20), purchased from autobulbsdirect which I think must be an affiliate of HIDS4U.
 
Very happy with second hand H7 headlight units in place of the H4.
Proper H7 driving lamps on main beam, much better than the H4 units.
Considered all of the LED and high power alternatives but reliability and MOT made the H7 look like good sense.
@Ed Webb posted a very good thread on the conversion
H4 --> H7 journey

Hi,

Keep looking at replacement LED H4 bulbs to replace the yellow candles.

Anyone used any and how do you get round any error messages on dash.

I see some reputable makes are now selling them hopefully that means an improvement in quality.

I've been really happy with these What Have You Done To Your Van Today?
They were only supposed to be a temporary solution but they're so good I've just dropped the idea of upgrading my lights altogether. I'll probably have to take them out for my MOT in Feb, but I might leave them in anyway and if they fail just resubmit it with halogens in for the day. If I do upgrade it will be to the full factory LEDs, I can't see the the factory H7s or the chinese copies being noticeably better at light output so I'd resent spending £3-400 for no real benefit.
