If anyone wishes to install LED Projectors in their High beams please feel free to pm me for help. It has been some trial and error and I did make a lengthy thread about it, but the results have been spectacular. My current setup is a quad-projector headlight with Bi-xenon HID projectors for the low beams and high beam function in place of the original Valeo low beam, and a LED projector for the high beams. It's also possible to have 4 HID projectors doing Hi/Lo function if you do not want to have a dedicated LED projector like I have.

More details can be found in this thread: I advise you to read the entire thread before attempting this as I made revisions towards the end. Also, this modification is on the expensive side of light upgrades.

I’m satisfied with the LED’s I have now. So I’ll save the $$$ and forego changing to anything else, anything more pricey especially.

Even on low beams I can’t go fast enough to “out drive” them. With the front fog lamps on I have plenty of side illumination to be able dodge the occasional deer.

My last lengthy cross country road trip was to and thru Georgia, about 950 miles each way. I drove
mostly at night on 2 lane rural roads (by choice). The lighting was great, even on the occasional interstate with those higher speeds.

The reason for the illegality notice on some adverts is that all bulbs in the UK must have the E11 mark and as stated if they are HID should have auto leveling lights which the jag does not. Most if not all led and HID units will not be E11 marked
