I've been reading threads on this for over an hour now, but this is the most recent on the subject. I'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be a consensus-best LED replacement H7 bulb for my stock halogen headlights. Lots of people trying/recommending fans, fanless, and even no heat sink models.

I'm going to give those Beamtech H7 fanless bulbs a try based on Billfitz's and others' suggestions. Can someone confirm whether those (or I guess any of these bulbs) need an adapter to snap into my the existing bulb housing? In reading through these threads, people seem to vaguely suggest that the base of the bulb might be too big and fits sort of loosely or needs to be reinforced somehow?

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks.

Hey guys,

I found Osram Nightbreaker H7 LED. Which is a led bulb for H7. I am thinking of buying.

According to their website, F31 facelift, is supported and it does not need the special canbus. And everything is legal, this is what I like the most. I am from EU.

The question I have, do you think I would need to do the coding? If I understand the Osram. I think, it is not needed.

Though, I have veepek adapter and bimmercode app and I have done the basic coding myself.

[Billfitz]

Coding is always required.

[Krenforum]

Thank you.

Will do the coding. I read few topics.
One question though.

If I change only the bulb low beam H7 to LED. Is it enough if I change only in Bimmercode: Led conversion low beam in normal user mode.

Or do I have to go to advanced user settings and change something there. I didnot find in normal mode:
change also position light warm monitoring, position light cold monitoring, position light lamp.

Each bulb set has it's own coding entry.

Would you mind telling me how much you payed for them? As i just bought an Amazon HID kit and I’m having trouble with the code and flickering. I’m scared to ruin my wire harness so I took them off right away.

Hello
I installed h7 LED bulbs on the dipped beam and it flashes while driving
and I installed v8 90w on the high beams, they also blink while driving
I didn't code, is that all there is to it or do I need a canbus decoder?

[Billfitz]

Coding is always required. Canbus has nothing to do with it. That's only mentioned by those who have no idea what they're talking about, which is the same crowd that says 'plug and play' when there's no such thing. They're not engineers, they're marketeers.

hello, I'm asking if his halogen bulbs are 55w, does it cause any problems when I put bulbs of 110w or more
some don't recommend me stronger than 90w

[Billfitz]

Assuming you mean LED there are no 110w LED H7 base bulbs, nor even 55w. LED bulb sellers often quote the wattage equivalent of an incandescent bulb for the same lumens output, but that's marketing nonsense. LEDs typically are 90% more efficient than incandescent, so the highest wattage an LED H7 base might use is perhaps 20 watts.
