Just wondering if anyone has tried Led headlight bulbs, if they were any good and where you got them?
Many thanks
Many thanks
Just fitted a set of H4 Nighteyes to the Range Rover. So both dipped and full beam. Direct fit plug and play.

Dipped beam on halogen (Ring 120% bulbs)

Dippd beam with LED bulbs

Pictures are hard to capture right and the camera changes focus and that walls nowhere near smooth, but they are definitely brighter and have a sharper cut off, halogen has wee flares.
No full beam picture as the Range Rover has a second H1 full beam which is still halogen so hard to notice the led, but I'm very happy with them so going to order another set for the full beam H1's

fitted these to my bike, 2 mates use them. direct fitment. straight onto the beam setter. no ugly over bleeching like HID. direct bulb replacement with no modifications or lens or wash jets like law on HID. they are just a replacement bulb. might not be as good on a car as it needs air for the rear heatsink/fan. but might fit older lights with the rubber boot round the connector.

H4's AND H1's? So effectively 4 full beam bulbs?
Yes, lights are pretty damn good for the age of the vehicle.
Rover 200 only has a H4 bulb for dip and full beam?? Dont think the lights are that good in mine, will try the LED bulb in it at some point.My 1994 rover 200 and 1987 golf had the same setup. Why car manufacturers stopped doing them I don't understand.
That big heat sink sticks out the back of the headlight in the Range Rover, no cover over it so gets loads of air.if you have room to fit the fan type like mine, do it. they're waterproof, but like anything it has its limits.
i'v heard of a few melting lens.
I'm talking older shape rover 200, they have an h4 and an h1,, not the bubble shapeRover 200 only has a H4 bulb for dip and full beam?? Dont think the lights are that good in mine, will try the LED bulb in it at some point.
Ah yes, sorry. Is a good job, full beams on the Range Rover are greatI'm talking older shape rover 200, they have an h4 and an h1,, not the bubble shape
Someone removed the s3 xenon headlights and fitted h1 projector headlightsThat big heat sink sticks out the back of the headlight in the Range Rover, no cover over it so gets loads of air.
H1's I've ordered have a fan as they are a bit bighter.
Cheers bud. Will just stick to a hid kit as it's easier and knowing my luck il melt the lens with led@ruairi83
I would have a look online before ordering LED replacements for projector lenses
Apparently they don't work well in projectors because the body of the LED blocks too much light, HID is the better job for projector lights
No bother bud thanks for reply.As roverspeed said @ruairi83 they may not always work in projectors.
Brother tried a set in his golf the other night that has Hella xenon replica lights and the bulb left a dark unlit circle in the middle of the pattern.
Lol, can't wait to get the H1's to complete my set, Range Rover will be a drifting machine then.View attachment 134963
Bought a set for the wife's 1.6tdi golf, looking forward to see what extra ponies it's going to liberate. Might even take 3rd gear
