LED hi beam, low beam and fog
LED hi beam, low beam and fog
Has anyone tried installing LED bulbs for the high and low beam H7 bulbs? What about the 9006 fog lights?
I am thinking of converting all these lights to the 6000K series for better visibility on dark roads.
Also, is the high beam independently adjustable from the low beam? I know on the Mercedes it is.

I do not think the H7 aftermarket LED bulbs are quite up to the task yet, give them another year or so.
While there is no delay to full brightness ( mr padgett ), there is just not enough lumens yet.
Best combo at present is HID lows and Halogen Highs. HID's are also OK in the 9006 fogs.
You do not want HID's in the highs because they take too long to come up to full brightness.

Re: LED hi beam, low beam and fog
I tried LED in both fog and low beam lights. I used 6000k lights as I find the bright white shows up the road better at night. The Fog lights work well, however the 1920 lumen low beam do not give enough range for driving on roads without street lights.
I am going to try some 3000 lumen and see if this helps. The LED bulb would not fit into the housing as the hole is to small for the size of the LED bulb
