General: - Headlamps... again...

Tannaton · Jan 21st, 2020, 12:44

At times headlamps and upgrading them feel like 20%-30% of the threads on this forum... when my wife had a V50 I put in some £20 projectors with a £25 HID kit and although no longer legal or MOT compliant, the upgrade worked well in that the beam pattern was exactly what it should have been and you could actually drive safely at night...

My old thread no longer works as Photobucket want about £2,000 for hosting now...

Anyhow I came across these guys at the weekend whilst researching a 7" LED upgrade for my Triumph Spitfire and I just thought it might help a few people looking to mod their headlights and there is a wealth of knowledge on their YouTube channel. Hope it helps someone, apologies if it's been shared already.

I use Flickr as they allow the free hosting of up to 1000 images which should be plenty enough keeping your threads useful and relevant on here.

I've been using VGY.ME since, seems okay and very free...

but yea, saw it yesterday :P I really cant comment on LEDs properly as until I test those personally, its all "he said, she said". I suppose its great that nowadays there is more options than simple "halogen or HID" but it also opens another can of worms - I have never seen so many "road legal" LEDs implementations in cars that are nowhere close to be able to use them (take Ford Transit for example...) as I see now. Its almost too esay now to retrofit LED source and put in into any car, without even second guessing yourself. HIDs atleast were treated my many as more "wizardry" and complicated...
(to clarify - not having a go at anyone in this thread! just my random thoughts..

)
