H1 LED bulbs?

Any electrical issues

H1 LED bulbs?

by MadOnVaux! » Wed Sep 14, 2011 3:48 pm

I was looking for some upgrade H1 bulbs for my high beam (as i do abit of late night driving on unlit roads) and these came up on ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Car-H1-HID ... 415c175a06

Ive never seen these before, I'm guessing they'll be pretty bright, but will they actually give a good increased light on the road that i'm looking for? or am i barking up the wrong tree?

and yeah, i have a HID system for low beam, but need the extra light/distance :)

Never had a problem with high beam on unlit roads, and i don't think those led H1's are up to the job.

Well its ok, i dont really have a problem with high beam either....i just want some more light :)

I thought those LED's might be more show than go really but wasnt sure, i just had a feeling that the higher brightness coupled with the reflector of the high beam might give loads of light, maybe not though.

and in my experience the 100w bulbs are no good either, i might just get some Osram Night Breakers or Phillips X-treme visions.

Is the wiring OK for 130w bulbs?....seen some Ring Rallysport bulbs at a good price, but says

"Warning: Check vehicle wiring and switches before fitting high wattage bulbs as they must be rated at a minimum of 25amps for 130w at 12v."

No the wiring on Calibra's is p**s poor hence people fitting HID kits.
