Was looking at this and not only is it expensive but it seems the aftermarket kit is a bit of a nightmare to fit (beyond my skills anyway). So i've gone for changing the headlight bulbs to Philips Diamond Vision 5000K, £37 quid off the well known internet auction site. I've fitted them and not only do they look the dogs, they shine a crisp clear white light a lot further than the standard H7's. They do cheaper one's at about £20 but don't do it, get the 5000k type. Going to have to change the sidelights now as they look yellow and horrible.
I can really recommend them, thought this might be of interest.

let me know what side lights you get as mine look rather yellow against the xenons

I did get, (and can still get Ring Blue Side lights for next to nothing) but they didn't give the ultra white look I wanted.

LEDs do but i think i read they need transistors and stuff adding which is a bit of a PIA Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Udash - Is there anyway you could translate what you did into English as I'm certainly interested....
Thanks.

Thanks.

I have PIAA bulbs in my Landcruiser and there VERY bright!

Thanks Udash - your help is much appreciated.

MacPherson - Could you get a pic posted of how they look with the lights on and off???? It's says about the blue reflection in the reflector even when the lights off, I'm not sure if I'd like that or not! But thinking about it my car is Blue so it might look ok!?

@d@m - There's a couple of pictures in my gallery of them on but they don't do it justice......it really is a crisp clear white slightly bluish, tinge (is that a word ?). When they are off you can from certain angles see a bit of blue in the reflector. I'll take some pictures of them when there off later today and put them on my gallery.
Apparently they are not for Europe, i.e. a bit naughty here in the UK, but when the police start stopping people with their foglights on during the day, then I'll think about changing my bulbs back (Actually no I won't !!)

I'm not clever enough to answer that one but in theory, surely all a more powerfull bulb is going to do is project more light into the same area as a normal bulb, and shouldn't affect the MOT - I'll let you know in March 2011 when it's passed/failed

@d@m - Some more pictures on my gallery of the DiamondVision bulbs. Also trying the interior light replacement with 8 led's...can't make my mind up if I like it.

they appear to give the lights a blue glow when turned off, due to them been erm.....blue


Interior lights are 100% better been LEDs, I have changed mine, inc footwell lights and need to find some for the map reading lights and vanity mirror ones now Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
