Led low beams
Has anyone done this successfully? What source? Will the Amazon ~$40 set work, or is something more elaborate needed to avoid Can buss errors? BTW I searched this first & it failed to provide any useful posts.
Extremely pleased with these...

AUXITO H7 LED Light Bulbs 6500K White
Still very pleased with mine after 6 months. It does (to my old eyeballs) improve low beam lighting significantly.
One note - I would avoid the fan-cooled version of LED bulbs. 1) I cannot see how a fan is really going to help in a sealed container like the XJ8 lamp housings, its just going to recirculate the heat, and 2) if they need a fan, it means they could be pushing current beyond what the LED OEM (Cree, Nichia, TCPI) might recommend in order to advert high lumens.
If I am out at night, I will post a pic, but its too late for a before

FWIW, I bought these for $29 on Amazon and installed them yesterday. It took me about an hour because it was sort of tricky to put the bulb in. On my car, at least they are a little longer than the stock H7 bulb and so they rub against the "deflector" making it difficult to seat correctly. Eventually, I installed them, and they are definitely better than the stock low beam bulb. My complaint is that, while they are brighter and have the cooler / bluer light, the light pattern is a little more diffuse than I would like. We'll see if they last, but I hope they do.
