ZB Commodore LED Upgrade

[VertAU]

This thread may be handy seeing as the 2017 Chevy Malibu likely has the same bulbs?

EDIT: Consensus seems that the Supernova V4's are the best. However they are $169. The Katana LED's appear to be identical with less of a markup at $63 (+$12 shipping if no prime): https://www.amazon.com.au/KATANA-H7-Headlight-4700Lux-Conversion/dp/B07T7FKLC4/
EDIT 2: Sinoparcel H7 LED's appear identical to the Katana's and only $30/pair:

Ordered a pair and will share before/after shots in a couple weeks when they arrive

Looking forward to the before and after photos, I have ordered some Osram halogens from amazon, they should be here today. Any improvement would be appreciated.

Ended up buying these Sinoparcel branded LED's as they again appear to be identical to the Supernova V4's and Katana's. Only $30/pair on Amazon!

Only done the low beams so far as high beams are a PITA to get to and ran out of time. Night and day difference between the stock halogens and LED's.

Hi there, thanks for the pictures of the results.
Looks like I will be ordering some of those...hate not being able to see properly as night time.

Hi, fantastic result thanks. Ordered and will be here Friday.

The Osram halogens seriously I didn't notice any diference, so can't wait for these LEDs and for $30 delivered they look to be a bargain.

Thanks again.

Did the high beams tonight and they are an improvement but not as much as the low beams. Still very happy for what I paid.

The Sinoparcel H7 LED's are now out of stock from Amazon AU for $30 but available for slightly more here:

Hi, expecting the LEDs today.

I forgot to ask will the dust cover go back on?

 

[VertAU]

Yep they will. Hope you have trump hands to put the high beams in.

 

[DK's]

Thanks again, I was the one who purchased the last 2 sets from Amazon.

Installed, definetely a lot brighter. Won't see the real difference until dark.

I was a bit worried when I had some code problems, check left low beam bulb, then check right low beam bulb. Did you have this? Anyway thankfully it has cleared, guessing a different voltage problem.

 

[VertAU]

Nah no code issues here but I haven't driven a whole lot since installing them except to test.

Edit: Spoke too soon mine popped up with an error. If I can just press Ok to get rid of it not too fussed but there may be a way to turn it off?
