Picking up our new T line 590 next Friday and have been thinking of replacing the bulbs for LED. This video has pushed me over the edge and got some ordered all ready 👍🏻 thanks.

I did the same as you as per John & Mandy on tour last year the difference on the back roads in Scotland was unbelievable I have also fitted DRLs in the bottom skirts they are great. Thanks

Good video Bob I replaced mines after seeing Gadjet Johns video very easy to do and what a difference in lighting up the road , builds even have a wee cooling fan built in and very good quality product.

Thanks Bob, I’ve watched both yours and John and Mandy’s video on this. A very useful video and a very easy change. Thanks for sharing 👍🍻

I had no idea how to change a bulb on a Fiat/ Peugeot van. So I now know how if and when a bulb blows. We tend not to drive in the dark so probably unlikely to want to spend the extra money on an upgrade. Thanks

Well worth the up grade much brighter aswell .kev

Hi Bob and Jenny. Just viewed your latest vlog and it looks like a modification even a duffer like me could undertake. My 2019 Ducato has the same "yellowish" lights. Question though, once they are fitted, do you need to get your lights re aligned or do they just simply replace the originals settings and all ?

@BobEarnshawMoHo

I just replaced them and they are still aligned OK.

Thanks for such a great video. Just wondering how they are 9 months on and if you'd still recommend doing? I'll be fitting to my van which I use on a daily basis so hoping for something durable. I fitted some to my car a few years ago and they didn't last the year, but it was a Volvo so headlights always on

Hi Bob. Thanks for your video. Very good explanation. Quick question : after you changed the one for the main beam, look like the bulb can move a little (even when it was attached) Is that the case ? Apparently, this small "ring" (where you attached the bulb) is thicker than the original bulb and it can be tricky to correctly attach the bulb ? Also, did you had to go to a maintenance center to setup your light ? (too high or too low issue ) ?? Sorry for any misspelling. I'm french, hope it's understandable

Hi please can I ask why you used 2 different brands of H7 Led on the dipped and high beam? They’re both H7. I fitted the Katur led to my fiat Ducato dipped beam and I’m very pleased with them so I wanted to fit the same again for my high beams

The dipped beam was the brighter of the two as the light is spread out more. You should be fine though.

Apologies in advance for this question Bob, the Amazon link in description for the Novosight LED’s takes you to a H1 rather than the H7 in your video. Is this H1 the right one or has the link maybe changed over time?

I've read it's not easy to fit a new headlight unit with led Drls if the existing unit didn't also have led Drls as the software objects to the new functionality for some reason.

Hi Bob. Great video as usual. I’ve only just seen this vlog as I’m thinking of upgrading to LED’s. A question I have though is, have you had an MOT since you fitted them? Strictly speaking replacing halogen filaments with LED’s is illegal and is a failure. If one wants to upgrade, then the complete headlamp assembly should be replaced. But how would a tester know that the filaments have been changed? I’d be keen to know how you got on as I’d also replace the filaments as it’s obviously cheaper than replacing the assembly! Keep up the great work Bob! Cheers!

Bob, these bulbs have small fans built in at the end of the bulb to keep them cool, be careful putting the black rubber cover back as this might stop cool air being drawn in, also did you put the spring retaining clip back on the dipped beam bulb, when I fitted mine I couldn’t get that clip on as the bulb had a thicker plastic shoulder, whereas the original bulbs have thin pressed metal shoulders I changed mine after watching Gadget John’s video, made a fantastic improvement but in the back of my mind was thinking the lamp manufacturer has designed the lamp to fitted with standard H7 bulbs 🤔🤔🤔

Hi Bob, looking at the specs on those bulbs on Amazon, the Katur dipped beam are 12000 lumen 55w 6500k whilst the high beam Novosight (red ones) are only 10000 lumens 6000k. Is this right? Surely it should be the other way around? I.e the high beam brighter / more powerful than the dipped beam? Or am I missing something? Thanks Bob, keep those Vids coming.

Existing halogen headlamp units on vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp for light source and lamp not compatible. This does not refer to complete replacement headlamp units which may be constructed with HID or LED light sources. If a complete headlamp unit has been replaced with a unit that was manufactured with HID or LED light sources, it must not be failed for ‘Light source and lamp not compatible’ but it must meet all other requirements detailed in section 4 of this manual specific to the type fitted at the time of test.
