LED headlight globes

[watson83]

So had a headlight globe fail today and am contemplating the H7 led globes. Has anyone tried them? Don't feel like wasting $120 if they don't fit.

You got a link to where you are looking to get them from?

A friend works for Philips and has said there are coming, so they should fit.

Here's the link from the eBay ad. So many different ones these are just one of the ones I was looking at.

Dude, they look woeful.

The only way that huge heatsink would fit would be not having the rear lamp cover on, which is a bad idea.

Who knows if the bulb base is strong enough to hold that heatsink up as well?

They'd have to be a lot lighter than that — future trouble almost guaranteed.

Yes well aware of that they are just the ones I quickly found to give a link.

So is anyone gonna buy these and test them out haha

The ones I did look at have a separate ballast like HID. I assume these are more for driving/spot lamps where the back of the globe sits out of the housing hence the heat sink attached the the globe itself.
