I'll give it a bash mate, did you drop the bumper and remove the lights or struggle using the flap through the arch?

Cheers

Just took the wheels off. Plenty of room. Took about 20 mins

Before I take the plunge, just the check, its the H7 kit needed rather than the H7R, correct?

Yes H7. I would also recommend the 4300k. I made a mistake and got the 5000k which is too blue. I have since ordered another set of bulbs from the same supplier.

The white/blue light is near useless in the dark. £15 for the 4300k bulbs only.

Ooo thats interesting. I was going to go with the 5000k as well! But for only £15 I could probably try both.

What makes the 5000 useless in your opinion? We've just got a Focus with nice LED bright white lights, they are great, so would have thought 5000 better?

Have you fitted the 4300 already?

With the light being blue it does not reflect off most surfaces so you can not see very well. When it hits a light surface great. And they look great too.

Someone on here recommended 4300 because of this but I thought I knew better. Based on his findings I have now taken that advice

I’m waiting for their arrival. I also went with 35W as they same guy said keep clear of 55w in case of damage to the projector lense. I don’t fancy replacing that

Also most modern cars have better lights. Ours are 16 years old in some cases

whats the differnece bewteen h7 and h7r? I have standard halogen lenses and have ordered H7 which i think shoudl have been H7R,ive emailed the company but have yet to get a response,just want better light output!

If you have the projector lens which the Z4 does then you need H7. The H7R is for traditional reflector lights without a projector to focus the beam. The H7R does the job instead

These came today, just waiting bulb holders

H7 5k 35W, IMO 4300k are too yellow and the 5k across the board of bulb wizards say this is the color for the most optimum light output, forget your 8k/10k bulbs useless and waaaaay to blue.

5k you will get a color most seen on modern cars with Xenon headlights. The more bluey headlights seen are most likely LED units.

I also run LED bulbs in my 2018 Vw polo, exactly the same color as the OEM LED headlights seen today and much better output than halogens.

This is my beam pattern and output using LED bulbs only.

what LEDS are those. They may be great as high beams

So today I removed my lights as the were full of water. I also put in my new 4300k hids. Top tip with this particular brand is make sure the return wire is on the bottom. If not you will get two shadows and not an effective output. This involved flatting the tab locator on the retaining clip so it can be rotated 180 degrees. I also took out the projector lenses to clean them. The result is amazing.

I also swapped the cover seals over left to right so I can reverse them as mine were flattened and letting in water. Now they sit proud and make a good seal. Time will tell and then it’s new covers.

Hi,

When you say the result is amazing do you mean the just after cleaning the projectors or the 4300 bulb vs the 5000 or both .

Thanks
