I found a couple that started a channel about the l322. I suggested they check out your channel for all of the resources that you’ve assembled. And of course for your quick wit and rugged good looks as well. 😀

Hi Ben, I went down this route too after Sam's video and yes they are bloody brilliant! Only trouble was that as mine's a 2006 m y it has different bulb retaining fittings for the H7 halogen bulbs and I had a hell of a lot of trouble to alter the stainless steel clip that holds the bulb. Having to cut part of the centre out of it to get the led bulb in place. I now can't go back to normal H7's as I've destroyed the fittings. Mine do flash when the ignition is turned on and a warning comes up on the message centre of "Check headlight". I hope that this won't affect my MOT test as I can't put the originals back without finding the bulb holders from a scrapper. I also went one further like Sam and fitted the Osram light bar into the grille. I have that on a switched relay unlike Sam's set up so that I can turn it off when I don't want to blind anyone....... lol

@the1stime Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your reply. Mine is a 2008 and same problem. I modified the ridiculously cheap clips to fit the Bevinsee bulb but it doesn’t snap in as snug as stock. I also have the check headlight message. This should’ve been an easy project. My fault for listening to youtubers claim they fit older models. I’ll report back if i find a workaround.

got the boot lights (had them for ages - since seeing Sam's video lol) but currently battling with the passenger side cam cover replacement.

Good video Ben. Strange that you had to trim your boot light connectors - guessing they're slightly different on mine. I've left the rest of my interior lighting standard as I reckon really bright white LEDs would be too harsh for the main cabin.

I thought the same about the interior lights, they are amazingly bright and for me would be too much.

On my ‘11 RR the headlight switch has 4 positions: Off, Day Time Running, On and Auto. During the day, I like using the Day Time Running setting. I’m curious with these new lights you installed, what they look like in that position.

@Bensgarage Жыл бұрын

Don’t know, my 2010 has just three settings, side lights, headlights and auto. Daytime running lights can be activated with the Gap iid tool, so they would come on when the car was running and the headlights switched to off.

No idea, there is a cooling fan in the back of the bulb. But to be honest we very rarely use the car at night, so they don’t do a lot of work.

@samrodian919 Жыл бұрын

The Bevinsee lamps won't fit the earlier headlamp units without modifying the twist and lock main beam H7 lamp holder it's a pain to do but I managed it . It just took a couple of hours to get done. Also you will find it much much easier to remove the grill(. 3 screws) and remove each headlamp unit ( also 3 screws for each) just unplug the unit and take them out to work on. You don't have to alter the lamp unit itself, just the H7 bulb holder there is a stainless steel spring that twists and locks between two screws that you have to open up and fit to the Bevinsee bulb unit. It don't take a lot of imagination to do it, just patience lol

@@Bensgarage Well... My expectations were low. But, just arrived and fitted. Only visual difference is that the back of the connector looks like it has some sealant there. And they work :) I did read somewhere that the electronics on the 2007/2008 are slightly different, so potentially the resistor values etc. Either way, glad theyre finally both working correctly.

I'm probably the one weirdo that doesn't like the boot ones, as I much prefer the warmer look and I doubt my dog would be impressed with the brightness either. I like the exterior lights, but how comes you didn't do the reversing lights as they really are poor. Well done though for doing it in this weather, that can't have been fun.

@Bensgarage 2 жыл бұрын

To be honest, we very rarely use the car in low light so the camera is good enough for me. I like the extra light in the boot, our dogs lord it up on the back seat.
