I honestly kind of forgot about this since its spring now and sunny most of the day but I decided to go with HIDs, the install is more complicated it seems (have to mount the ballast, drilling hole in the dust cap if i want to keep it) but I'll post photos and etc when I finish.

 

But its seems more reliable and the bulb can be changed if that burns out vs tossing out the entire light thing.

ive run led and/or HID in my low beams for about 6 years with no dust caps...never an issue w condensation or anything

 

Thanks I guess i can drop the cap if necessary. Some people have told me due to the 'projector' style headlamp its probably better to run HIDs so the light doesn't 'diffuse' and they told me HIDs last about as long as LEDs so I'll probably go look for HIDs now...

Also, did you guys with the LEDs installed, did you need a special cover to seal the headlight bulb or you just went without it after?

I only thought of LEDs as I thought they would be the option that lasts the longest but there are HIDs which are just as reliable???

Also, is a canbus attachment needed for a LED conversion or just that little thing that it comes with is enough?

do not buy cheap amazon leds

 

define 'cheap' give me a $$$

I know some people get 2 years with their normal bulbs but I get about 1ish and even got some 'extended life' bulbs last time hoping it would last the life of the car but after 1 year 1 is now burnt out. The car is probably on the later cycle of its life, I don't want to be changing the headlights ever year since its a whole procedure with this car.

Hi,

 

I've been changing the low beam light about every year or 2 and am getting tired of doing it. I want to get a LED kit so I don't have to worry about the light going out anymore. But i'm worried about buying the wrong one off amazon with flickering issues or other headaches so wondering if anyone knows of one that works and where I can get it since I live in Toronto, Canada.

 

Thanks,

William
