My headlights are the same, bi-xenon… you don’t touch them. This is the other little light that’s in the headlight unit… it’s halogen and used with full beam xenons and when you flash the lights. Xenons no good for flashing as take about 3 Seconds to warm up……

the xenons do indeed use a shutter to flick from dip to main...the H7 bulbs are for flashing and giving extra light when on main beam.

Thanks, 4300 is the colour temp of sunlight i think - or near to it. The headlights are the best i have had on any car I think.

As Stan says, the halogen lights are like the spot lights you’d have fitted in years gone by. To be fair, colour wise, I can’t believe how close my new bulbs are to the xenons.

Aren't H7's 55W? Those appear to be 80W does that present any problems? Drives:

With LEDs they normally post wattage equivalent.

Yes, they take up much less power than normal/old style bulbs, hence why you need to try and get Canbus error free ones, or the car thinks the bulb is blown and throws up bulb failure messages as so little power is being consumed.

Good point, my brain obviously failed there, think how powerful 80W LED's would be!

I put some 10k lumens ones I found in the garage. No error and very very bright!
