Led low beam conversion

[Skylarking]

I hate it how these threads degenerate into this.

The subject is “led low beam conversion“ and we’ve had 3 pages of discussion already.

I particularly like headlight beam pattern pictures as I find that informative of the quality of the globes.

But answering a question about price between two brands must include some comparison between the products themselves. Stuff like warranty, expected lifespan and ADR/CEC references simply provides a complete answer as compared to saying “nah, pricy”.

I’d have added comparative beam pattern pics if I had them

It’s also not off topic to discuss such issues about the roadworthiness of such LED/HID mods as some members who read this thread may simply not be aware of this aspect. Denying them such knowledge is denying them the choice to do or not do the mod based on their risk taking profile which may be different to yours.

So I’m not sure what you hate and why you think having such a discussion degenerates the purity of the thread. Or is it that challenging Holden‘s design is the thing that’s not on in this just commodores forum

Preferring such roadworthy issues are never discussed, so members aren’t informed seems somewhat short sighted... not been able to cope with Holdens design shortcomings is fanboy syndrome... An optometrist can solve the first issue but fanboys are beyond redemption (joking just to be clear)

Regardless, the roadworthy/insurance angle was a convenient way to sneak in a link to $4M car crash... you do like to read about $4M car crashes don’t you If not whats wrong with you (again joking)

If you can, please take a picture at night, of your low beam halogens shining against a wall with the car some 2 to 3 car lengths from it, then repeat the process (same place, same distance from the wall) when you’ve installed the LED globes.

We can never have enough before and after pictures

He bought H9 LEDs - I guess they go into the high beam units.

Doh,... just one of those days, one of those headaches, can’t think straight

Just for completion, and to remind myself, here is a globe list for VF’s

Anyone here running nighteye LED low beams?

I went out for a drive to Helensburgh/ Stanwell Tops area with a few friends. One of them reported that his 2016 SSV Redline popped a low beam error on the driver’s MID after running them for around an hour and half. He recently switched to H7 Nighteye LEDs. The error seems to go away after a “cooling off period”. Any idea what’s going on?

I am actively considering a switch to these LEDs. For less than half the price of premium/ special halogens, there is a marked improvement in the overall light output.

I ran them for over a year in my ssv in both hi and low and never had an issue with them.
I run the same h7 low set in my zb now and they are still going good.

sorry no before/after pics as I installed them during the day, but the new high beams was a decent improvement over the stock H9 halogens...

Hi,

On VF s1 I’ve had night eyes in lows for a few months and high beams for a short while now. Both ebayed.

Lows give random spontaneous ‘check left (& right) dipped lamp’ messages, through the dash but the improvement is worth it. Haven’t bothered with the fix yet. The noise of cooling fans esp at idle is more of a pain tho. Light pattern sharp & doesn’t seem to throw into oncoming traffic. Wish I’d taken pics before & after.

I haven't run highs much yet at all but there’s a crapload more light output. Have the feeling they’ll be annoying with the bullshite amount of highway signage these days & light spread, No faults yet.

Also run leds in parkers & wing mirrors No issues with canbus on these.

waiting on reverse leds to arrive & still looking for H10 fogs and I’ll be done.

so far so good with cheaper end lamps, time will tell...

Cheers for info & links on this thread everyone. JD.
