Wow, did we just revive a 5yo post from the depths of thesamba?
There are a lot of LED replacement bulbs out there now that could be very suitable for our headlights too.
I just "upgraded" the headlight bulbs on my BMW motorcycle. Those are H7's, same old halogen / reflector technology though.
There are two sided LEDs, 3 sided that give better light patterns and just recently there is a full 360 degree led bulb that almost exactly replicates the halogen bulbs light pattern, much cleaner and brighter light.
Then the other factor is whether we can fit a heat sink and fan behind our lenses or if we have to use one of them without. The heat sink bulbs are brighter, but ones without are still an upgrade over halogen. _________________ Current: '87 Westfalia | '16 Audi Q5 3.0T S-Line w/sport package.
