I have an alternative email address with mail.com and an article on there caught my attention today:
http://bgr.com/2018/01/31/led-headlight-conversion-kit-amazon-prime/
> $44 and 15 minutes is all it takes to convert any car’s headlights to LEDs
The article basically says the bulb kit is “plug and play” and the bulbs are CANBUS ready. The kit also includes a cooling fan for each bulb. The imageson the item show fairly remarkable spread of white light. I looked at Amazon USA and it says they offer 3xYears warranty and will ship to UK: -

I did a text search on Amazon UK and came up with what looks like a “similar” kit at £19.99. This one offers 2 x years warranty but it does say some cars “may require may require load resistors to stop flickering or fix error messages” (which I think is what previous LED bulb kits required?) :-
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Newest-Hea...LED+Headlight+Bulbs+All-in-One+Conversion+Kit
I have fancied having nice white lights (so long as they’re road legal?) but seeing the problems some people have had I’ve always steered clear of them
- So are there any experts able to give some clarification here please?
