I got these to replace the H7 high powered canbus I had installed in the dipped beam projector lenses of my BMW E46 facelift coupe, as one of them recently started playing up. Wow, what a difference! The previous ones are better than any halogen bulbs but they're really meant for reflector lenses. These however are on a different level!
First of all, they're a lot easier to install as they're slightly shorter, which is great as my car has limited space to get at the H7s in the projector housing. Secondly, whereas before there would be dark patches in the light pattern, mainly at the bottom towards the road (though my car passed MOT with them), it's now basically a wall of light! They're also somehow even brighter than the previous ones (12000 compared to 10000 lumens). Even with the previous led bulbs I would often struggle to see at night, whereas now I have complete confidence in being able to see everything in front of me clearly without needing high beams. The pictures I've got don't do justice as to how good they are.
Time will tell how reliable they are but for now I'm very happy with them, I'll be sticking with these in the projector lenses and the H7 high powered canbus in the reflector lenses. If you too have projector lenses I'd highly recommend getting these as the difference is literally night and day compared with anything else!
