I was there with my wife to see family and some friends.
Never thought to post my arrival here to see if there were any Crossfire owners to meet while there.

I just installed Lasfit H7 LEDs in my car. What a difference! It's the same bulb for low and high beams.
These are the ones I used. They're Can Bus error free and have fans in them to keep them cool.

Lasfit H7
I put them in the low beams only in one of my cars, my concern about high beams is how quickly they come on. Any delay?

I didn't notice any delay. I can check tomorrow and let you know for sure.

I used Lastfit H7 LED Bulbs 50W which worked well. And I used 9006 LED Bulbs Fog Light 60W for the fog lights. I eventually replaced all the bulbs with LastFit LEDs. They work well and are very bright. I was most worried about the stoplights so I wanted something brighter than the standardbulb. The marker lights look better with the LEDs.

I too would like to replace all of them. If not to bother you too much, can you post the model numbers for the other Lastfit bulbs? Running, fog, marker, tail lights and reverse lights. Did I miss any? H7's were delivered today so that will be my weekend project.
Thanks

Here is what I purchased. I will tell you I used clear lights for the marker lights because they look better than when I purchased the amber and red ones. The trunk light is different than the glove box light even though LastFit said it was the same. This is the thing I found out in buying the bulbs because the car is 3/4 Mercedes and 1/4 Chrysler some of the light fixtures are not the same as stated.

I did not use Amazon but purchased from LastFit they were very helpful and when something did not work out they replaced it at no cost. Can't beat great customer service and the cost was the same.

I will say I occasionally get a bulb-out signal (backing up) but after driving a while it goes away. I have not had any other problems and I am very happy with the LastFit LEDs. At night they light up the road, I live in a rural area and I am old so they work well for me.

And don't forget the headlights have a certain way that the tab needs to be put depending on if they are used for the headlights or the high beams. So watch this video:

Also, there is a way to replace the small marker lights in the headlight compartment. Here is the link: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...t-cluster.html

I hope this helps you. Take your time and you will be very happy with the results. I am.

I tried my high beams today and there was no delay.

Thanks for all the input. My Memorial Day weekend will consist of changing all the lamps except the side marker lights.
