Has anyone tried any LED bulb for the low beam headlights? I've heard the are even worse than original with reflectors headlight.
That is correct and you're guaranteed to fail MOT.Has anyone tried any LED bulb for the low beam headlights? I've heard the are even worse than original with reflectors headlight.
Depends on the LED bulb. There’s a huge spectrum of quality. The ones from DeAutoLED work really well and have a pretty good cutoff with no glare to oncoming drivers.Has anyone tried any LED bulb for the low beam headlights? I've heard the are even worse than original with reflectors headlight.
AFS fault
How do you change the cornering bulb on a 7.5? All I see are vids for the 7......def not the same
Sorry to disappoint you, but there are no legal LED bulbs that will work in a halogen housing - no matter how much BS deAuto pushes out on the forums. Conversion kitsDepends on the LED bulb.

I didn’t say anything about legal, nor did OP. But practically speaking, there are options that work without scattering light. LED bulbs have come a long way in the last few years.Sorry to disappoint you, but there are no legal LED bulbs that will work in a halogen housing - no matter how much BS deAuto pushes out on the forums.

They are illegal for good reasons. Unless DeAuto has found a way to get around the laws of physics (or optics depending on how you look at it), there is no way to dump an LED bulb into a halogen housing and get accurate light - you might get brighter, but you won't get better.I didn’t say anything about legal, nor did OP.

I don't know what to tell you. I have first-hand experience and they are brighter, put out more usable light onto the road, and they don't glare at oncoming drivers. It's not a perfect solution, but it's an improvement over most halogen bulb options for our headlights. I used to build custom headlights and I know a lot about light patterns and matching bulbs to housings. It's no skin off my back if you don't believe me, but I know what I see.They are illegal for good reasons.

I think the clincher was when deAuto asked a potential customer to disassemble his LED housing so that they could recreate it. Manufacturers spend millions on R&D for lighting and these clowns use smoke and mirrors to bamboozle the customer.
This mirrors my experience with my wife's Tiguan halogens and a kit from deauto (hid, not led though). Pattern is actually great, very focused with a nice sharp cutoff, no blinding or dazzling oncoming traffic (we've passed each other coming and going many times) and I can actually see at night when driving her car. The stock lights were such garbage it actually felt unsafe driving at night before I upgraded.I don't know what to tell you.

I don't believe there is a model anywhere without an armrest - manual parking brake or not.Is there any market wherein a center console without an armrest exists for a MK7 with manual parking brake?
