Help with H7 LED headlights

Post by T33beh »

I've just received some h7 led headlights for my Rocco. I have no idea on how to fit them. I was planning on putting them in either my fog lights or main beam. Any help in fitting would be appreciated.

The fog lights are not H7 fitment, so they won't fit.

The dipped beam and main beam are H7. I probably wouldn't use them in dipped beam as the reflector is designed to accept light from 360 degrees where as LEDs are more direction and may not give as good a spread of light.

I would assume you fit the bulb as normal into the holder but instead of plugging the plug into the back of the bulb you plug it into the flying lead.

Following....I wanted to fit these style night eye led as dipped beam. Like yourself couldn't work out how the would fit with the bulb holders etc. As the main contact is on the edge of holder?

I figured it out, kind of straight forward and the scirocco has quite a bit of space to put the ballast and wires inside the bulb space, so you can still leave the rubber cover on without needing to make any adjustments to it.

I was just confused as I'm used to plugging a red and black wire into the flying lead.

I thought that plug thing was for a socket, as I did order these from an American site LOL.

Straight forward plug and play, the light output is crazy!

Good alternative to the bi-xenon flash [emoji57] if you need further help fitting I can always take some pics of mine.

If you want some pics let me know.

Thanks cuprabob for the help, it made sense as soon as removed the bulb!

In regards to h1, yes you can I believe so. I can't remember the exact website I purchased mine from but they're the same as these, and these are h1. http://m.lightinthebox.com/en/2pcs-90w- ... rm=1.5.1.1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
A quick google search for h1 led bulbs should point you in the right direction

I would go for it in the projector fogs I have that I guess will add a better vision to what I have now.
