LED headlight bulb

Post by LeeU1978 »

Any recommendations for a decent LED replacement bulb for my 2013?

I'm pretty sure led bilbs are now an mot failure but if you're determined there's loads of threads just coveting led headlights.

Maybe but when your best mate is the MOT tester it’s surprising what he doesn’t notice! :lol:
I’ve seen loads of different bulbs but all seem to be pretty cheap shit, I’ve used Nighteye lamps before and they’ve been great but I can’t seem to find them without the built in fan on the back which stops them going in the original lamp holder.

I'd stay away from drop-in LED bulbs. Apart from being not legal, they actually perform quite badly. Philips Racing Vision GT200 halogen bulbs are legal and will offer nearly twice as much output as a regular halogen bulb

I agree on the above, im running halfords 200% brighter bulbs and they're really good and not too harsh on the wallet either cost wise.
