I bought these for my fogs, but they didnt fit so I thought I'd stick them in the hi-beams as the Xenons give 99% of the light and the inners are really just used for flashing.

Where else? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...K:MEWNX:IT This was proof of concept, I would now go for the 68 LED ones rather than 18: £11.99 - these are the cheapest in the UK, you can get cheaper from HongKong Foey http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/H7-68-LED-FRONT-FOGL...20b804571e Update: 120 LED: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-Car-H7-120-SMD-LED...0597605143

Dan, do you get the bulb failure message with these?

Nope - I was suprised as I didnt think they were can bus friendly. You can turn the bulb warning off with the likes of nav-coder of course if you have it. As I say though, no warning on this for mine...

I think you're right, on a single LED bulb I guess there is hardly any resistance. Where as on these bad boys there is probably enough for the puter to know the bulb is present. I've just ordered the 120 version.I still want some for my fogs I think. Unless I can get some 200W ones in there?

led's will dim down to about 10% then they will go of, but why would you want to dim them....if used as DL's would you not want them as bright as pos V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

They do look pretty good Dan, nice and bright colour temp. I'm thinking of some for the spot and fog lights on the Mini, when all 6 lights are on, there's 450w of light output going through the loom via relays, no wonder the volt gauge drops to 12.5v, I dare say they would be ideal. 2006 Mercedes CLS
