H4 To H7 Upgrade
- Thread starter Howler
- Start date
Got my H7's in, looking for a Carista Beta user in North Yorkshire for the dual beam option. Love the look of them, particularly the DRL's...
First night drive around the dark lanes of North Yorkshire, travelling home after work. I can actually see at a good distance now with the H7's with the dipped/main beam functionality. Like being born again, driving with a smile
I got round to fitting mine yesterday. Phase 1 of 4 for this year. If I'd have known what difference they make, I'd have pulled me finger out a lot earlier. I'm really impressed. No error lights on the dash - Everything worked perfectly, even the level adjuster for when towing worked without issue.
I also installed the DRL panels from Travelling-Lite. They were an easy job while the front end was off.

Was the wiring easy enough for the drl's?
I fancy adding them but hate doing electrics
Yes it was pretty good tbh. I was scratching my head a bit initially but I was over-thinking it. I wouldn't like to tackle it with the bumper still on but it must be possible with the undertray off so you can work up rather than down. I don't mind simple electrics and this was pretty easy. The hardest part was tapping into the N/S headlight block connector. Now I've done it, it'd be simple to do again although I used a soldering iron & heat shrink tubing rather than the supplied posi-tap connector. The harness is already made up and has decent splash proof connectors.
Happy to help if you decide to get some. I'm near to J31, M1. The Control module mounts near the battery - pic 5 in the last lot.

Thanks for the offer.....very kind of you
I'm in Stannington so not too far
I should imagine it'll be a 2hr job though by the time the bumper has had to come off and back on?
They may be marginally? I'll have to give them another push to make sure they're in fully.
Quick comparison pic from existing photo's show they are not far off. These DRL's stay on for about a minute after turning off & key removed. It seems to be in conjunction with the fuel pump relay clicking off?
I've been doing a few little jobs around the van today and after thinking about the DRL query, I took a couple more pictures and yes the new panels are slightly bigger. Maybe to hold the light housing or to avoid a patent (less likely)??
I hadn't realised this myself, either. It does stick out quite a bit IMO. Its certainly noticeable with the lighter coloured vans.
