Full LED Headlight Setup

Postby Willber37 » Fri Jan 01, 2021 11:13 pm

I'm looking to upgrade the dull factory halogens to LEDs preferably all the same brand. My headlamps have the cornering lights, I also have the factory fogs so which fitments do I require?

Is this correct?

Dipped Beam = H7
High Beam = H15
Cornering Light = H1
Fog Lights = H11

Any tried and tested versions out there?

Thanks for any help.

The H15 will be your problem, there isn’t a decent H15 led, the others are all obtainable from Philips Ultinon range.

Thanks mate, yes I saw the Philips range but seems mega expensive compared to the rest.. OSRAM brand are half the price.

Is that because the h15 is a difficult size? I found compact versions for Ford Ranger https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/h15-twenty20-compact-led-headlight-bulbs.html There's a few more on FleaBay and Amazon but most seem a bit Chinesey.

The Osram bulbs could be worth a try, I tried a few ebay bulbs but they’ve all shown very poor patterns on the beam tester. The Philips H7 was really quite good in a Connect and I’d expect it to be even better in projector style dip beams. No idea about the H15’s that you linked to as I’ve always used an Osram LEDriving drl/fog/cornering light and never felt the need to upgrade the main beams.

I've done the H7 and H15 bulb.
Much better light output than stock.
Not fussed about the cornering lights and fogs because they aren't on much.

Had to try various differnent ones off ebay until found ones that fitted ok.
Unfortunately I can't remember which ones they are without taking a headlight back out.
