Is that plug on and play or did you change stuff? Sorry I'm clueless with power I'm a carpenter and stay away from sparks normally.

If you are not rushed for time then you can remove the headlights and install them without having to drill the rear covers - I done this with a spare set of headlights.

Cool. I'll take a look.

yeah they are simple plug and play, just search H7 110W 22000LM LED on Ebay. It won't let me post a link cos I haven't made enough posts yet
These are the ones I have fitted. No need to drill holes in the covers as with HID's. Extremely bright lights and for the price you can't really go wrong.

Hello everyone.
Like promissed I took some photos (not wedding quality but cannot afford a Iphone camera super dazzling to shoot at night) and hope you can get the point around this kind of tech.

You can also see how it fits all into the headlight and all the easy DIY job and connections.
Suppose some equal light pattern can be meet between LED and Halogen light on the wall's photos.
Any question feel free to ask.
Regards.

Thanks for putting those pics up, finally got to see them once photobox forced me to disable my ad-blockers and then had to get past all their ads.
I've ordered a set.

I thought the max wattage you could use on standard wires and headlight in these cars were 55w?
Damn it! Forget to tell you guys to watch out those kits with fans!! Avoid them. It generates plenty of heat that fans dissipates into the headlight rising its inside temperature. Not good for all the wires and plastic cover - especially in the summer.
The worst is that those fans usually die soon and without vent the leds will burst. Another thing that some people refer to: noise. The fans make a Zummm noise after some time of use. And drains more energy.
I hope these facts won't appear right away.
Go for fanless kits. They use the method like computer graphic cards with passive coolers - no fans, just aluminium core and designed vents to dissipate the heat throught the metal. Some even use 4 or 5 metal sleeves instead of a bolk cooler.
Mine never got hot besides 20ºC.
Bit late for that now, these do have fans. I don't recall seeing any in the UK that didn't. I have a hole in my
Headlight case from where I had HID's, perhaps that will aid in ventilation. I also haven't seen an increase
In voltage. I'll see how we go, if i notice the fans have stopped working I'll think about my next step.
Anyway, LED headlights. I think they're fantastic. I had HID's as I normally do with my cars, but I found the output to be really crappy. I've had problems with ballasts and flickering. I found these to be nice and
Bright, the beam pattern appears to be exactly the same as halogen just brighter and further. They are 6.5K temperature so give that pure white with a tint of blue which regardless of what people say i actually like. These were actually easier to fit that standard halogen bulbs because you put the plate that sits under the silver prong in first, then slide the LED through and it twists and locks. If your thinking of going HID I would say don't bother just get some LED's. It's a great compromise.
