Need help (67 plate) light upgrades??

Postby J4m3z1 » Thu Jan 18, 2018 2:09 am

Hi guys new to this forum. Had my tourneo for under 2 months now and the headlight lighting is f****** s***. Need help in what to do to get better lighting. Is h.i.d best or is the d3s conversion best or what??

Any help will be great thanks

Aren't HIDs a bit old school these days?

I put some LEDs in my Navara, they were a huge improvement.

Got some H7 LEDs to stick in the Tranny, when it arrives.

A have had the tourneo for just under 2 months. A dont know what the setup would be? A know you get the d3s conversion which is pretty much hid's. Just wanting to compare what people are using and benefits they are getting with different setups

If the lights are that bad you have a problem, if you’re just exaggerating then you have a couple of options. But it depends on which dip beam you have, projector or reflector?
