New Grand Sport ordered - Any Bulb details

[Defie]

Were your LED’s also horizontal before you rotated them?.

[marko301]

Yeah leds pointing sideways. If they don't look right how I've turned them I'll turn them back tomorrow. Weather permitting.

These are what I ultimately plan to install but i wanted to test a set and be sure i coukd be error free before spending the extra cash.. engineered to match the halogen bulb output almost exactly

I tried mine against the garage door at work this morning and it has the kick up to the left side sinse I turned them last night so I'm going to see how they go. I took a photo. It was about 8:30am so daylight but dull.

The camera doesn't pick it up as strong but you can see the cut off.

Looks like a more defined line for sure. Might give mine a go until I convince the wife to buy me a present of some Philips LED’s

Let me know when you do get them and how you get on....I love a guinea pig.

I would have liked to have seen inside the lens on the video. I don't think the led bulb itself gave that cut off. There has to be something in the lens like the metal sheath in ours.

Any pics in the dark after you turned them ? I turned mine too but I am away with work for the week it will be Friday night before I get to see the result

[marko301]

I've only got some I took earlier when I got home from work but they're up against my house wall and don't give any definition. I'll try to get some shots tomorrow night.

[marko301]

These give you a better idea. Wasn't totally dark but dark enough. It started snowing so I just wanted to get home.

You can see the cut off and kick up to the left how they should be. That's with the level set on number 2 so there is room to drop it lower if you need to. I've been watching the cut off line on the back of cars and its just above the back bumper along the tailgate so definitely not shining into the preceding car's rear view mirror.

Can you adjust your lights Marko you said level 2, where’s the adjuster switch?

[Defie]

Looks great.. Maybe thats the way they are supposted to be fitted with the shield.. Lucky that they had a 90 degree adjustment feature

Any compromise on the light output since you rotated them ?

You won't have it because you have the matrix lights.

Not that I've noticed. I haven't been on dark roads yet but I can see it on the roads so I don't think there will be any problems.

[Neal_1974]

Oh :/ mine seem a bit low and was looking for adjusters I presume they must move themselves then as they do a little wake up adjust when they turn on, still seem a bit low to me

[marko301]

If you have the wheel which I doubt, it's near the lights and fog light switch. Next to the ambient lighting dimmer.

No I don’t think i do have a wheel just the dimmer and fog light switch, think there is a little blank square next to the dimer, I’ll look tomorrow. Thanks Marko [emoji106]
