[mention]the swan fiend [/mention] can’t speak for them but last week I stuck some LED bulbs in and was disappointed, The white light just got absorbed in this winter weather. Stuck a HID kit in yesterday and it was a night and day difference. I spent more on the LED bulbs than the entire HID kit
. The beam pattern for the LEDs were fine in a projector but just didn’t have any distance on the beam. For fog lights I couldn’t imagine they’re too great unless you get yellow ones maybe.

Cheers for that oldgregg
I have heard it mentioned previously that LED bulbs aren’t great, but I was wondering if they’ve improved recently. Maybe I need to wait a little longer!

Back in October I did the wireless charger mod. I got fed up after waiting 6 weeks for the person literally across the road to cut this. So in under 48 hours on Fiverr I had this on my doorstep from Germany
If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is

I’ve just realised my phone has wireless Charing capability. This mod could be another small step into dragging my technophobic self into the 20th (sorry, 21st) century.

@Doc is this the same you're on about with coding out the bulb errors?

I pulled over on my way home tonight & took a quick pic only managed to get a picture of dipped beam.
I’m pretty happy with them, nice colour with a good beam spread & this was without having fog lights on.
Will try to get a main beam & fog lights tomorrow on way home all being well.
