I have never had any issues with HiDs being running hotter than Halogens, I’d be more worried about the heat and heat sink required for some LED bulbs.

I tried LED replacements for my HB3 bulbs- very disappointed - brighter nearby, but distance was worse - could not get a good beam pattern despite rotating them as instructed. I returned them for a full refund. Ive had two HB3 blow within a couple of days of each other. I worried about loosing both on a long trip and then having only the LED sidelights. So I carried a set of HB3 bulbs in the car and a 10mm spanner. I've since gone done the HID route. Jules |

An Idea that maybe if someone on here has HID headlights could take a picture of the headlight HID labels LH & RH I could make some stickers to replace my halogens. Just an idea but would look a bit more authentic. 2014 Freelander 2 HSE Orkney Grey. Now sold.

Not sure about the stickers but my FL2 HSE had the bulb type moulded into the headlamp lens rather than a sticker. Regards David Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me...... Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again...... |

Yes, no problems. There is plenty of space to get everything inside the housing. Jules |

Mine had a sticker - which peeled off by itself after 7 years. I searched but could not find any markings on the housing or lens to indicate the lamp designation. Jules |
