Hi All,
I seem to be changing my headlight bulbs about once per year. Have tried various brands - Phillips, Osram, Bosch - all seem to last about a year. the premium ones are quite pricy and don't seem to last any longer. I have now reverted to cheapies, but they are not great for night driving...
Has anyone changed to LED H4 replacements? How are they? Do they last? Which brand can you recommend?
If not, what should I be looking to install?
Thanks!
Bruce

Re: Headlight Bulbs
Hi Bruce

Anyway, see my post below. It's now 6 months later and no complaints, the LEDs are fab.

I just fitted a set of LED headlights to Adrian Powrie's series 3 4.8. He seems adequately satisfied

Thanks again Ant!!Anthony Forgey wrote: ↑28 Sep 2022 19:35 I just fitted a set of LED headlights to Adrian Powrie's series 3 4.8. He seems adequately satisfied
Super happy with what I would roughly estimate as 4 times the light output compared to what my old globes emitted.
Cannot wait to fit my BZT's and add the fog lamps to the array.
