Hi,
Im going to be selling my H7 bosch al style projectors. I've had them for just over 1 year. Used a H7 halogen for 3 months, 55w HID for 4 months and H7 led for 5 months. Still in good condition. They have the bi xenon flap. As others have said on this forum, they are a great replacement for the volvo projectors and are a lot brighter and shine further. They are compatible with any H7 bulb. No modification will be needed to use the projector as they are the same bolt pattern as the oem projectors. However the buyer will need to use a wiretap or something to get the high beam flap to work. These are RHD projectors (UK, JAP). Selling due to deciding to change to a Bi led projector. Currently they are not available, as im waiting for my bi led projectors to arrive in thr post. Hopping sometime at the end of this month. Will keep updated here. Once taken out I will take some photos and post here. I'm only looking for about £60+PnP, open to offers. I also have a set of metal based 6000k H7 HIDs and 55w Ballests. Happy to sell these too, looking for about £20, again open to offers. Any questions drop me a dm or post in the thread and I'll try to answers them. |

I already have a pair of replacement projectors, but I'd be very interested to hear of your experiences with H7 leds.
I'd also like to know more about your bi led projector upgrade please - that sounds very tempting. May be worthy of separate thread in the 'General' area! |

The projector bowl is shiny but I'm not sure why but for some reason Bosch/Al decided not the make the projector bowl a mirror like finish, instead opting for a dull shiny. This results in less brightness (I think). The other half of the the problem is due to leds being left and right. There is always going to be a dim or dark spot as leds cannot shine 360. So, the top of the projector is going to be dim at best or have no light at worst. Unfortunately, we need that top part of the projector to have light as that is what projects onto the road. |

But from initial testing, driving round the city after is started to get dark, I can say they are 100% more enjoyable to drive with. My main issue with the Bosch/Al projectors was that hard dark light zone. Literally no light above the cut off. That made road signs at night almost impossible to see. But these projectors have some spill to light up the road signs. |

I know what you mean about the projectors and the lack of light above the cut-off, even with halogen H7s. In fact I'm just about to try fitting the OEM lenses to the Aharon projectors; someone on the forum has successfully done this and it disperses the beam to some extent.
So what & where are the LED projectors? Do you have a link? Thanks Last edited by Trellis; Nov 3rd, 2022 at 15:39. |

Thanks for the update - much appreciated.
Your workmanship and the results all look very impressive. I'm seriously thinking about doing something similar as a winter project. One slight downside is that mine is a facelift car and there is quite a lot less elbow room in the headlamp unit. I reckon loads of other people will be very interested in this thread, so it really deserves to be moved or copied into the 'general' forum area. Is there anyone reading this who can oblige? |
