Apologies to many thumbs
Having fitted my H7s a few weeks ago, used them anger last Friday, well Saturday morning actually en route back from Devon. We had to detour off the M42 to get to the M6 as around Birmingham airport it was at a standstill.
What a difference on A and B roads - if VW just fitted H7s everyone would be happy! My only criticism is when the lights are adjusted up to their highest and you flick to main beam there is a dark patch just in front of the van (hence why most code them so the dipped stay on)
I wonder if @CarpyT6 is up for another visit
?

Yea no problem, my obdeleven is in my van which is at paintworx Loughborough untill Thursday though. So would have to be after I get my van back. I'm also off to Wales Mountain biking on Saturday so would most likely have to be next week sometime.Having fitted my H7s a few weeks ago, used them anger last Friday, well Saturday morning actually en route back from Devon.

I just have normal carista - will it make the normal version before the clocks change?
Just apply for the beta testing, it's a guaranteed acceptance.
I wrote a short guide a while ago that might help. I sent it to another user via PM. I'll see if I can forward it on.
Guide sent!
It was written with screen shots from a earlier revision of VCDS but hopefully it will be of some help!
Definitely on the lookout for some of these after experiencing a trip down the lanes at night for the first time using the standard comedy headlights.
I went dogging with my H4's, flashed my headlights, no response.....

Mate mate of mine posted YouTube videos of walks around his local area for his mum to watch as she couldn't get around anymore. He was looking through her browser history and she had gone from, walks around the village, to dog walks around the village to... you fill in the blanks.
Managed to find a set of these on ebay. So before putting them on I might as well get the bulbs sorted. Is there any consensus about the best set of bulbs to get from those who've tried various? I'd like some whiter looking LED DRLs and then just the brightest, whitest main bulbs etc.
I've tried just about everything in THQ lights, not eggs with eggs I know, but the principles remain the same for main beams. Decent LED bulbs work very well in the inner main beams. They won't match even the whitest halogen dipped bulbs tho', but will be bright and won't dazzle anyone because they turn off when you dip. For white dipped beams, Ring Pro 5000K H7 477 Car Headlight Bulb Single Pack | Halfords UK
