So, H7 HID bulbs give better light output than H7R HID bulbs with out projector lens?

Has anyone used G7 Philips H7 LED in projector lens for dipped beam?

Nice. Are they for low or high beam? How difficult is it to change the bulbs yourself? Bumper needs to be taken apart to access?

Thanks bought another set for the dipped beam. I'll fit them when I get round to reinstalling the passenger side headlight

Just not liking the 35w hids, don't seem overly bright and take what seems like ages to warm up on initial start up on a morning

Yes mate, finally there is someone who agrees with me. I have more powerful 55W ballasts, but not so happy with light output.

Visibility is even worse when driving on wet motorway.

Is that photo with the headlamp in the car and aligned?

Wow - that's no better!

It makes me wonder as I have a very narrow spread of light, yet my high beams are much better aligned with the housing than yours.

It's strange as the lamp is obviously out of line with the housing, but flashing the main beam seems as though it lined up....

They're only £33 on ebay. Not sure they're exactly the same, but it says G7 Philips H7 LED.
