Just replied to a comment but with the rain cap on the back of the headlight blocking off fresh air from getting in, then even with the fan going there's isn't going to be very good active cooling for the LED it'll just end of recirculating the hot sit inside the headlight... I was saying that I wonder if cars witted with LED Headlights from the factory have some means of mitigating this?

@@alan4x thank you, correct about the error module, still i was thinking that a 250 eur set of philips will not be prone to this :). I will try next the ones you used, cheaper and if error free they will be a charm. Thanks for the reply and keep it up with the videos.

I've fitted a set of these to 2015 Mk5 Estate, here are my comments & findings: As bright as a set of hId's I has on a MK3 Mondeo. Had issued with fitting the bulbs but manage to do it. In use quick to come on but they do have a good beam cut off, with these you can make it out. For the cost, just slightly more than a set of standard Halogen H7 from a well know high street reseller. As for fitting not bad, but having to more or less to remove the bumper is a joke (what was Ford at the time ?) I just wish there was a set for the main high beam, but having the DRL's with the mains, I will have to stick with what's there. I ordered from the web site and had them just over a week later. All functions of the headlight are not affected by the bulbs, so high adjustment is fine, no fault lights in the dash. Ask me is 6 months time for an update then.

I changed my DRL/High bulbs for LED from autobeam, but they don't do any LEDs for the dipped beams so i'm glad Alan showed these off, now awaiting for mine to be delivered from Auxbeam.

no they do not have eu markings...they are made far away from the eu ... i cannot quote the law but as far as an mot test in the uk goes...if the beam pattern is correct and aligned an led bulb can fail if 50% of its light source is inoperative, but led bulbs are allowed and it is not a requirement to check eu numbers...these bulbs are predominantly aimed at the american market, use the link in the description to check the website for more info

Alan Howatt well I'm having quite serious problems with the lights- Mk3 ghia x had it 14years 100k use of automatic headlights personal use 2 bulbs in that time . Mk3 280k miles ghia X taxi Mk4 305k miles Tin X taxi With the automatic light setting which I think is the culprit and the fact it's a Hackney taxi turning on and off maybe 100 times a day Normal bulbs expensive normal bulbs anywhere from 500 to about 2000 miles maximum life But I found an answer Osram ultra life Mk3 was ok but she retired from taxi work at about 260k Mk4 about 280k started to burn the wiring connector Which the Auto electrician says is the long-term use of those bulbs ??? I get between 20k and 40k miles out of them bulbs But now the connectors only lasting about 5000 miles. So I'm ready for anything radical. Can't believe I've bought a Mach 5 waiting to go on and it's got headlight problems then🙁
