Halogen > LED lighting upgrade

[ZiMMie]

the take home message here is "filament" placement of LED bulbs is critical in picking the best lightbulb for any particular housing, and unfortunately, is extremely variable between bulb makers

Philip has obviously found a way for it work in different cars. This is why its approved on German/EU roads.

there is nothing wrong with proper approved LED in Halogen housings.

Here in Germany, Philip has design and approved LED lights to be used in halogen housings.

Please do not put Plug N Play (PNP) LED bulbs in a halogen reflector housing. All you will do is blind oncoming traffic, have a horrible cutoff and crappy overall performance.
A proper retrofit is the answer.

Thanks for the heads-up! Looks like I'll go with some brighter halogen bulbs for the time being.

Has anyone gone ahead and upgraded their halogen H7 low beams to LED lights? I'm considering the Philips Ultinon Pro9000 LED bulbs, but not sure how much of a headache it will be to find the right adapter to get them installed properly. Thanks in advance!
