Are these the only LED's that will fit these headlights (Main and dipped beam): http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/headlam...-led-headlight

What about these or are LED's (http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/headlam...en-4000-lumens) or are LED's with any type of heatsink other than the braided copper not fit at all?

Thinking of going all LED, but I'm unsure.

I'm really pleased with the colour of the 6000k's, light output is a world apart from the halogens, main beam in particular is like a new sun rising! Dipped beam feels like a narrower spread than before, but I can put up with that for the improved light levels, might have to get the turning fog lights coded in...

'Scuse the sh1tty photos - I really don't know how BrennanF30 and others get such good shots uploaded.


Hey Dude where did you get your HIDS and LEDs?

Don't bother buying anything from them. I've had a really terrible experience buying overpriced, but terrible quality stuffs from them. Once they have taken your money, they won't even put an effort to reply your email or enquiry regarding with delivery or products. You will also lose delivery fee when ordered and also postage fee when return the item and take ages ages to get the refund.

Apologies for the lack of photos guys. I've had the car back to garage to check the installation as the angel eyes and signature line still go off when dipped beam is on, I'm now thinking they may need coded?
Anyway, I'm still pleased with them as they make the car look a lot better and the light output from the HID is worlds apart from the halogens.
Managed to get a couple of quick photos on the way out of the door this morning

Oh wow, Cheers for the heads up. Do you know of a good place to get LED's in the UK? Still thinking of HID's for the dipped but all LED is quite appealing to me and will be the closest colour temp wise.

It does mate, black spade connector goes to the black wire slot, the red/blue spade connector goes to the yellow slot

Best thing to do mate is get them coded, If the problem still persist then you need replacements.

I've been mulling over what bulbs to get for the headlights but I've finally got them. So now, I need to decide which garage to get them fitted at. Anyone recommend any good ones around the Cardiff area? I got an online quote from Lewis Motors Cardiff for £72 Inc VAT for the installation, which has me wary they don't know the how much work is required..

HIDs and LEDs from Aurora bulbs:-

PRO 35W Xenon HID - Couldn't see the point of going for Canbus ones when they were going to have to be coded anyway. Good light output - one seems a bit brighter than the other but could be alignment.

Philips LumiLEDS H7 - expensive but worth it IMO given it's bumper off to change. You can find what look like identical on t'interweb for significantly less, but I wasn't prepared to take the gamble.

Foglights from ABD -I bought these a while ago but hadn't got around to fitting them - it seemed like a good time to do so.

Good buying experience from Aurora, found a code on the facebook page for 20.17% off - NEW2017 - think it's good till the end of Jan. A glitch on the web page meant the confirmation of order didn't have the all the lines from the entered address and I was a bit concernced to find they didn't have a phone number on the web page to clarify. However, I had a positive response back from the web page contact form within an hour of business opening the next day. Bulbs turned up within 2 days, packaging of HIDS could have been better, as entire kits were loose in a box with no foam or bubble wrap. HID bulbs themselves were in protective containers though and they worked when installed.

I would also have considered the Stealth kit from ABD, who are the same company as HIDS4U, but they were out of stock when I was ordering.
