Hi all
I have just installed led headlights, I took the advice from previous post and purchased them from classiccarsleds. £70 for the pair. I chose to remove both headlights from the car. This involves having to remove most of the bumper fixings. The instructions state that they can be used for left or right hand vehicles. They arrived pre set got right hand drive vehicle S.the leds are plug and play and straight forward to install. The headlights were cloudy due to age so I decided to give them a makeover. I used wet an dry grit paper starting with 400 grit then 1000 grit, followed by 2000 grit, and finally 3000 grit, making sure them headlights we’re always wet when rubbing down. Finally I dried them sprayed them down with degreaser. I Then sprayed them with 3 coats of clear gloss spray. I tried to add a photograph but no luck with that

And are they good?

They appear just fine, I haven’t driven at night time yet but they appear a far bit brighter than the stock h4?bulb. Although now that the headlights are now crystal clear it could be that made a great improvement.

I have installed them on two cars and one motorbike that already had crystal clear lenses and trust me they are chalk and cheese with original candle in a jam-jar filament bulbs, the main reason being they have a wider spread of light horizontally and much more light on the LH verge, which makes night driving much better, also the whiter light is much more eye-catching in the daytime ( very important on a motorbike when cagers* are either dozing off or distracted by one of the gadgets in their car ). *cagers = people driving in a cage = car and van drivers......

Yes, but be aware the price is without VAT, so add 20% - so about £70 - had them in our cars for 2 years now - passed two MOT in both Jazz and Civic... well worth the price trust me. Also have this bulb in my motorbike.

With much more light on the LH verge, how do you find them when driving in the outside lane of a dual carriageway or motorway Culzean, do they dazzle vehicles in the inside lane ?

Very flat well controlled beam, a headlight beam pattern test part of MOT, if your beam does not fit within allowable area of test machine it fails. Standard headlamps have a 'kick up' towards near side verge, which is designed to light up kerbs and verges but not dazzle oncoming drivers.

This is an opportune moment for me to mention that I've got a pair of the ClassicCar LED H4 bulbs (with all thier accessories) sitting in a box. They spent a few years in the HR-V I traded in for my Crosstar which comes with LED headlights.
I'm thinking of £35 including delivery. Send me a forum message if interested.
PS: Probably now sold.

Had a set of ClassicCarLED’s H4’s fitted yesterday, they certainly look a lot brighter than the original H4 candles, but not tried them at night yet.

I fitted some leds a few months ago from amazon warehouse. If you get decent ones which have the 2 led's and the little notch they will work perfectly.
Mine were £7.28 ;)
