So whats it like with just headlights?

How have you found them? are they an improvement?

johnbev · Feb 11, 2008

I see you spent a pretty penny this weekend then?

They look bright to me, especially the fogs [B)]

What are they actually like driving, it is near Xenon standards?

I have just fitted a full set as well, and to be honest am dissapointed at the dip beam, throws a lot of shadows around and the light is cut off very sharply, you can see a line on the road where they end, full beam is impressive though, but there is still a few shadows which come from the headlight glass ??

Wouldn`t reccomend them tbh guys !!

What are they like to fit? Unless mine turn up tomorrow I will be fitting the bulbs myself (if they turn up tomorrow the dealer will do it for me)

Cant give a 100% answer as I've never had xenons, but they are much brighter & whiter than OEM fitted bulbs

Really

I found them brighter than the Philips I had in, maybe your lights need setting if they have such a sharp cut off ??

Fitting is quite simple, use a small mirror (womens make up size) to get a look inside the lamp, helps a lot. Also, small hands help too.... I'd do the none battery side first, more room to get an idea of whats what.

Takes about 15 minutes to change all the bulbs

Fogs are easy, 1 screw takes the outer grill off, plus a few clips, so take it slow else you may break one

, 3 torx hold the unit in.
Time was about 5 min a side for these.

did you fit them with right side up? The notch should point upwards if I'm not mistaken...

ouch....spent a pretty penny then!

they look good, i just fitted philips xtreme power H7s to the Leon...but they still look very yellow against the 6000k HIDs on the Ibiza!
