the.vet Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ok, anyone want to update on their order with Amazon? Still nothing here- I've not let the seller know that I know I'm not the only one waiting... Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyH Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Seller offered me a refund or a repeat send - must get back to them tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Maybe the sudden surge of orders from L7C has caught them by surprise !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Some years ago sainsbury's homebase were selling Philips H4 super bright bulbs at a very low price, I think they priced them wrong. Following a tip off from a member the shelves were cleared by us lot the following day. They do blow occasionally but I still have a couple of spares left.

AntonyH Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Quoting SM25T: Has anyone tried these in Seven headlights ? Just to say, hurrah, these have just turned up (the replacement set the seller sent as the first ones went astray). Will be putting them in later today.

Richard K Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Got mine today as well I'll see how they compare with my existing LED side lights that I fitted last year. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Let us know, and Ill order some if they look good. Are they £8 each or for a pair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy7 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Tom, says £7.75 and free delivery on Amazon and looking through it must be for 2 bulbs. Got to be worth a try for that money. Nice addition to my DRL's. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ah, I thought they were £8 each which is why Id not ordered them. Now ordered a pair for £8, hopefully Ill have delivery nearer the 7 days time rather than the 23 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyH Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yes, price is per pair. They are significantly brighter than my previous (standard incandescent) bulbs: Google drive link if the image include didn't work... The picture doesn't show the difference as markedly as my MkI eyeball; the LED is significantly more visible than the gentle glow of the standard bulb.

Surreptitious Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Mine arrived today as well. Thought I'd just see how good they were by trying one with a 9v PP9 battery. That was hours ago and my eyes still havn't fully recovered! Very bright 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.vet Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Can confirm brightness is much much better. Now for the longevity test... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonyH Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 One area they properly score on is when running on main beams. You know that big expanse of inky blackness near* the car that your mains normally leave? These LEDs paint some detail into that... not quite as good as dipped beams but a distinct improvement. *Anywhere within about 70 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard K Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 OK here is my experience of the LED lights in the 7" headlight bowl. The light V directional and on my lights the 'side light' bulb is located below and slightly to right of the main / dip headlight. Because of this when the LED bulb is in place, it points up at a 45 deg angle. The light v bright but only from above the line of the headlight. Looking straight ahead the appearance reflected on bowl is 'dim'. I have gone back to the LEDs with an array of diodes that bought last year. I will try them in tin top as the bulb holder faces directly forward in that car. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy7 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Can only pressume its an easy alternative to adding DRL's Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
