I've been looking for led bulbs to swap out my halogen low beams. Came across these and wondered if anyone has tried them.
They specifically told me that they will work and come with the resistor to eliminate the error code. I need to measure the opening for existing bulb and make sure it would fit as well.
I tried in the past to use led in lowbeam on other cars but they were the old reflector style. With the projector lenses on the xk8, I wonder if they would work better?
Thought about having retrofitted with hid kit but some members say they don't fit well and vibrate.
Any thoughts???

 

Forgot the bulb photo.

 

But why?

When halogen bulbs are cheap, work well and last for years!?

Mabe a wattage increase would be better.

 

I want a whiter look. I've changed out most of my lights to led and really want the headlights to be whiter not the yellow dated look
No secret I'm going for a more modern look with my car. I'm not a purist that thinks these cars are holy relics that can't be modified.
I'd not go so far as to rice it out but clean white lights do update the cars and since they did have optional hid, I don't think it's out of place.
I did go with the Sylvania super white halogens but still look yellow. And they were 59.00 pr.

 

Hi there.

Perhaps you could give a Xenon HID conversion a thought. You could choose whatever color temperature (4300k, 6000k etc.) you prefer, and the light intensity is unmatched...Check out the thread below:
