Re: LED Headlamp Bulbs
Indeed, they can't handle the heat. COBs are fine

Re: LED Headlamp Bulbs
Right, makes perfect sense but I never thought of it. Thanks Sam.

Re: LED Headlamp Bulbs
I bought those above ones. I thought they'd be a cool yellow when lit but no. They're really bright though, seem to make the lights much brighter. Thanks!

Re: LED Headlamp Bulbs
That damn blocking nonsense is back again, so I've ended up taking a photo of what I had written on the laptop and I'm (hopefully) posting it below. That's a no then. FFS!!!!@ Right! I did write a piece about the legality of LED headlights. Very much to the point (because I can't post the details I want), a vehicle first used before the 1st April 1986 is exempt from the new MOT rules that came into force back in January. Let's see if this posts now! I'm getting sick of this bastard nonsense.

Re: LED Headlamp Bulbs
I was trying to post a photo yesterday, but it did not show on the preview. And after some trial and error, I just gave up. I thought there might be something wrong with the place I host the pictures and hot linking, but maybe it's the forum?

Re: LED Headlamp Bulbs
Oh cool.
Regarding pictures, it often is because the file is too big in my experience. It's just when you don't get that information showing it gets confusing.
