Thanks - might try them on next change - in about 2 years time, by my average bulb lifetime so far

They should be OK, specification states that the working voltage is 9-22 volts. 64 plate TD4 SE Santorini Black 2021 Mazda MX5 GT Sport Tech |

I quoted the wrong one and answered my own statement. I’ve just checked the specification and it states that the working voltage is 9-22, so it shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll find out when they arrive 64 plate TD4 SE Santorini Black 2021 Mazda MX5 GT Sport Tech |

A couple of people have asked for pics of the beam pattern on these LED projector-specific HB3s. Just had the chance to go outside, start the car and shine the headlights at the garage doors - sorry for the delay. Here are a couple of photos...

Thanks for taking the time to take these photos. Beam pattern looks spot on. Definitely will be giving these a go. Freelander 2 XS 2013

Fitted. Now waiting for dark. I noted the collars are adjustable, so you could adjust the orientation of the led chips. Has anyone had to do this or do you know the correct orientation? Thanks. |

I've also bought a pair and just fitted them after Sunday lunch.
Comparison close-up of old (Osram Night Breaker Laser)...
Vs new:
Let's see what they're like when it gets dark and I can check the beam pattern. |

Did you see the led chip orientation when fitted? Googling seems to reveal they should either be both pointing up, or both pointing down (ie 10 too & 10 past or 20 too & 20 past). I didn’t see what mine were when they went in unfortunately |

The first one I fitted, the drivers side, rotated freely. I fitted that one with the 2 LEDs facing upwards (with no idea if that was right or wrong).

So mine were wonky! I’ve just been out and reset so the LED’s are pointing up equally. Seems like a nice even light spread. Has anyone tried them with LED’s orientated down? |

I’ve found the folllowing two sites, which seem to show the b2b manufacturer and showing orientation should be Upward
