No problem Ash - Bob

Which particular type Mark?

Any chance of seeing the LED headlights on at night compared to some bog standard H4's?

If i could find that photo of the "light-out" then yes, still hunting though.

*** EDIT ***

Remembered an old flash-drive so had a look :


Left, Chinabay Xenon-look Halogens, Middle, these LED bulbs, right a few month old Nightbreakers


From above the rear lights so the real difference can be seen!

All 3 cars used the same headlamps, all headlamps in excellent condition and earlier aligned on the same Beamsetter. Closest real-world comparison you're likely to get.

yeah, not showing in Chrome @ work, but ok in Chrome @ home. Weird.

I contacted the supplier - they were unable to identify any recognised standard the lights comply with. Lovely people and very helpful though!

Depends whether your MoT centres (WoF centres even!) demand to see the paperwork or not. The LED headlamp bulbs certainly give a better output, crisper, whiter etc and no light in the dazzle zone so shouldn't be a problem unless you have one seriously fussy tesster.
