LED headlight bulbs

Recommended Posts

A couple of months ago I purchased a pair of LED H4 headlight bulbs from Dave Gemzoe Motorsport of Wakefield. I rarely drive at night in the 7, but was very uncomfortable with the standard H4 set up on my 2018 360. The £800/1000 full LED upgrade seemed daft for my limited use so trying Gemzoes bulbs was a £40 bet worth trying.

  Iv'e done several hours night driving in the last fortnight and am mighty please with these bulbs. Significantly brighetr and with an effective dip cut off. Before anyone asks, no I won't provide the make and part number. Dave G did the research/testing, so it would be churlish to mention these. 

  If you want better lighting at a reasobale cost, well worth consideration.

I will convert one side back to original and take photos of that side, before and after. One set from inside the car and another from the front, down the road. The dip shots will be on the wall as that will best demonstrate the cut off.

I've got these , yes they are e-marked and as said Dave did all the leg work on these.

 

My MOT station said that the light pattern was very good and unlike other LEDs passed easily.

 

I cant post pictures off my phone but have photos of them.

Photos taken today. I decided to be lazy and did not swap an LED for a standard bulb as photos of this have now been contributed.

The first two are dip and full beam at near distance in daylight with the camera set to tin top driver/mirror height. I think this illustrates the effective dip quite well.

These two are dip then main from inside the garage against the door from short distance. Shows the degree of dip judged by the door panel line.

These two are from the car at night main/dip pointing down the road. The road is not flat but the difference is clear.

More distance main/dip.

I trust this gives sufficient information for judgment. Certainly I'm satisfied with them and there is the added bonus that the bulbs are 25 watts each, so a healthy reduction on standard. Circa 4 Amps on full beam! Sounds good to me.

 Yes a massive performance lift but just don't switch your indicators on or it's lost! Originals were about 50 watts if I recall. So circa half.

  If you want the original pics I can send them by email? They were fairly high definition on an SLR so probably not uploaded to blatchat at that size.
