Turns out they don’t fit. The H7 has a different fitting which has a twist lock fitting which sits flush behind the bulb meaning it can’t lock this kind of bulb in. Sod’s law.

fog lights look good (but yellow light cuts through fog better). The issue with the interior LEDs is that it makes the interior feel "colder" at night, which I was never a fan of. Think hospital feeling instead of warm interior feeling.

Thanks for the video. I purchased LED bulb kits for my P38 and L322, just the bulbs by themselves. Makes a big difference. I have been reluctant to pry out the puddle lights in my L322 mirrors as they seem very tight and I am afraid of breaking the housings. May order the units you used as well as the LED driving lights. I recently replaced all the HID and H7 bulbs in my L322. It is much easier if you remove the entire headlight unit. Powerfull UKLtd has a video on how to do this. Cheers from Canada.

Hi. Sorry for my english if its sometime wrong, its self-learned. Connect DRL as well, I doing it.. If DRL power consumption is not big (apr 20W in total or even less I suppouse), you can take the power directly from output of relay R10 (located in engine compartment fuse box). Then DRL will go on always when ignition turned on. But, there is a small dalay (about 1 minute) when turn ignition off. Thats no problem I think, will work like "follow home" light. Put fuse and 5-pins relay between to swich DRL off when use headlights. Power for relay - headbeam connector, pin 11. I doing one more good thing, for free: I change seats bottoms. Now passenger seat (only bottom) is on driver side and driver seat on passenger side. Now seats looks like new, worn corners are inside and not visible. Need to remove seats. Take off the plastic, leather, replace the foam, also replace the passenger sitting-sensor for seat belt. Quite lot of work, half day at least, but not impossible, seats are absolutley similar.

Cheers David, glad you enjoy them. No warning lights at all. I think because these LED units are a lot more powerful than the replacement bulbs, they draw enough power to keep the bulb check system happy - so no "blown bulb" warnings that you might get with a low power LED.

I'd like to chat more about the sound and video system you've put in as I have quite a few questions. There are loads on the market and I'm spoilt with the system in my Audi Q7. So would love to know if you are still happy or if there are some buyers remorse with problems you have had. The chap at Halfords just gave me a shrug of the shoulders and really didn't have a clue what I was looking for. Thanks for the videos.

Odd i just ordered the puddle lights, they came installed them, except my truck does not have a red wire, they both yellow. Cleaned the contacts and installed the lights easy enough, but they didn't work, flipped the connectors around, bent contacts, all that. Tested the lights from the jump start posts and they work fine. Fiddled some more, could get flash out of the driver side as I hit the key to open the door, but nothing else, stuck the bulb back in it works fine and now so does the passenger LED. It's almost as if there not enough voltage to run both lamps?

So lucky you picked a 4.4 up before the rise. They're mega money now. My budget really only is for a very late 3.6. Would you still do it, or wait for the right 4.4?

@SamsMotors 2 жыл бұрын

What's your budget? I watched a 12 plate 4.4 TDV8 with 155k miles sell through Carswithnoreserve Reading (eBay) for £8,600 recently, and thought that was a pretty good price (assuming it's not a complete wreck). I'd still try to hold out for a 4.4 and maybe up your budget a bit if possible, as I reckon it's worth the extra outlay over the 3.6.
