Not technically an MB one this, but interested in peoples opinions. I've been toying with upgrading the main beams on my wife's Renault. It has separate main beam and dipped beam elements to the headlight, each with an H7 bulb. I've put Philips Xtreme in the dipped beams, and a bit of an improvement, however for the main beam, I was considering LED H7s instead of a second pair of Philips. Obviously can't use LED in the dipped beam as the beam pattern would be out and risk dazzle to other drivers, but main beam light is relatively uncontrolled, so:
1) Is it legal to fit LED lamps in the main beam?
2) Does anyone have experience of these and know if I'm likely to get any benefit over both the current (look to be "budget") fit, or a second pair of Philips Extreme?
Thoughts / Comments appreciated.
Cheers,
Bill
