Yes they do. This is for the dipped beam.
http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/5th-gen-4000-lumens/h7-5th-gen-4000-lumens
These are the ones I had looked at but couldn't figure out how to fit. Quite pricy not to fit
If you can have another look when you get the time . Ta
The H7 I fitted only fit one way without a reversible base and a lot cheaper than those  :surprised: the ones you've linked have two maybe three ears on them if that's what you're asking about?. They're wrong for our cars as both dip and main beam are H7 with one way of fitting.




Oh they are pricey thats why all the questions.
Its how the 12volts connect as the 12volts is part of the quarter turn thingy I keep going on about.
Working backwards, so basically theres the bulb, a wire goes to some kind of Led driver, but the Led driver needs 12volts. Its that connection i am interested in. A photo would be appreciated if you have the time.  :happy2:

my ones cost me £12 the pair off eBay and are straight plug and play into the existing wiring and no additional drivers on these. I see the more pricey ones do and thinking they plug straight into the headlight bulb connection as where else would it go  :signLOL:

I am not the brightest sorry.......... but in your photo there is the black plug with the male spade connection i just dont know how it connects the the quarter turn thingy. I will need to look at my car again. I must be missing something here.  :ashamed:

I have had a quick snoop on the internet and now see why we are at crossed wires.
My car has original ordinary golf headlight non xenon so it has the quarter turn thingy. This is what holds the bulb in place and provides the power to the bulb. I do not have the stainless wire/clip that normally holds in the bulb so as far as i can figure out it cant be done  :sad1: Unless of course you have a solution.

Boost gauge looks really good.
What gauge is it? And what wire did you splice into for power?

now I see what you mean  :signLOL: no idea how you'd combat that one unless you buy those ones you've linked tbh. Mine are drop bi xenons and have the metal retaining springs so wasn't too much of an issue.

Thanks mate, its just a cheap one off eBay but me being fussy didn't want no dodgy names like dragon etc so got a plain simply one.

Wire was just linked into the one pictured as it comes on with the ignition.

Yeah it looks a clean simple dial, I don't want no silly names on one either.
As for the wire, do you simply wrap the wire round the spade of the fuse?
