Title: LED dipped beaming bulb info needed.
Post by: JGTTDI on May 19, 2017, 06:08:16 pm

Hi everyone.

I am looking for some help. I have been given some LED dipped beam bulbs for my 2004 MK5. I know I need different bulb holders in order for the new bulbs to work. I have checked eBay but the clip arangment on the bulb holder looks different from mine.

So my question is has anyone had the same issue and if so how did you get around it all?

Thanks in advance.

I looked into this a while ago and its not going to happen. The way that the H7 bulb is mounted (the turn thing) stops you from using the half decent led bulbs. I assume that you are talking about the ones with either a cooling fan or a large heatsink on the base. If you are talking about the ones without all that stuff I wouldnt think that they would be bright enough. Show a piccy
