I left the hi beams at the factory angle, I think the reflector is designed to work best at that angle. I have an intense hotspot higher in the center to see further down the road, as opposed to what you show in this video.

I agree. I no longer have the car but I would've gone with different style H7 bulb if the housing allowed it to fit. I did love the way these came out being much brighter and the beam was a lot wider giving more left to right visibility.

Can you give some help? Are you able to give a link to a similar product that might be available? I'm having difficulty finding the right options. Your help would be HIGHLY appreciated!

Great video! What brand and model are the Led bulbs in the fog lights?

Your projectors don't do high and low beam though

What kit have you used ?

Can I wire a low beam bulb to high beam wiring and still have the low beam on when the high beams are off, or will the low beams be off with the highs ? Idk if it makes sense

@garbinsgarage

What are you trying to achieve? They are 2 separate circuits. Low beams should stay on when high beams a come on. But wiring either together would not allow individual operation.

I have a e39 with h7 low and high beam factory, bought an aftermarket depot headlight that is for xenons d2s... Is it possible to install led d2s?

Yes. If it’s the same bulb

I did the same thing on my 330i but the angel eyes still flicker occasionally, pisses me off.

Did you install the DZG D2S 35 or 80 watt LED bulbs? Stock is 35w I believe. If the 80 watt, how is the heat?? I want the lumens of 10000 LUX over the 8400 LUX but not at a fire risk.

If you mean the flap for high beam that is totally separate from anything. The ballast only ignites and operates the bulb and nothing else

@@HQTTTH Hello. I did show me connecting all the wires together for the ballast. All you have to do it remove the ballast with the 2 t25s holding it on and the connect the prongs of the LED bulb unit the 12v connector that originally plugs into the ballast. The LED kit I linked is meant for this and has a positive and negotiable prong that slides right into the slots in the factory connector. I hope this helps The flickering will completely disappear after the led instal because the ballast is bypassed and the new LED contains a resistor to get rid of the error code

Well that's not entirely true infact it's not true at all.The new Osram Premium cool blue intense HID are brighter and superior to any led out there

Hey daddy

You brought the wrong conversion kit. You should've gotten the High Intensity LED (HiLED). They plug directly into the factory ballast. No splicing, none of that extra crap you did. Not going to advertise brand as theres like 2-3 companies that do it and seems to be new technology. See below Upgrade high power 90W D3S D3R LED light bulb for HID original bulbs replacement. ▶Operating Voltage: 45V Pay attention: Please never install D1S D1R led bulbs to D3S D3R ballasts, and never install D3S D3R led bulbs to D1S D1R HID ballasts, it will cause HID ballast burnt out. D1/D1S/D1R ≠ D3/D3S/D3R ▶10 minutes directly install to the ORIGINAL BALLAST to replace HID headlight bulb.No need to take off the original ballast.(Please make sure the function of the ballasts are working) ▶100% super decoding error-free.
