I would go the route of fitting a decent known brand of bulb which will give the desired effect as dip beam is poor on the pre face lift models, Suggest trying something like Philips xtreme vision which will give a good light increase over standard bulbs without extra heat as there's no way heat can escape from projector style units.

Hello, This is my first post so be gentle with me, im after a bit of advice, i have searched the forums for led and headlamp but could not see what im looking for, i have recently purchased a 2009 XFS 3.0D and love it but the headlamps are not the best and i was wondering if i could fit LED bulbs to the existing headlamp units, having looked on the internet i have then started reading about can bus errors and have reached a point where i cant find a definitive answer if i can fit them or not, im worried an ebay supplier is just going to say its fine but then the engine management light comes on and i end up with a big bill to sort it out, thanks in advance for any advice givenĪs Tigger said Steve.
#09 jaguar xf upgrade
I have converted my Xtype's projector bulbs from standard to H1 night breakers and it has been a vast improvement, so you could look at reviews on upgrade bulbs for your existing clusters and go from there, Google autobulbs direct, they cover everything that's on the market and have reviews as well.Īs I said, I have limited knowledge on this subject and I'm sure the guys on here will advise otherwise if such a conversion exists, but I don't know of one LED's draw far less power from your cars battery/ system than standard bulbs and thus the car will assume the bulb has blown so the need for resistors to be built into the bulb to con the cars system. If you are looking at converting other smaller bulbs, sides, interior etc, go for good quality with a resistance circuit built in, this will ensure you don't get any error messages. There are various aftermarket HID headlight conversion kits around that can use existing OEM light clusters, but, I would shy away from converting, unless they are specific to your car, the wrong or generic choice could leave you blinding on coming road users (as we've all seen with young lads in their hatchbacks). From my limited knowledge and as far as I'm aware, there is no LED bulb conversion that can fit into an existing OEM headlight cluster, new cars with LED set up have a matrix of bulbs to point in different directions as no single LED is capable of giving the correct and safe spread of light on the road, LED's are forward directional (like a torch beam) and do not have the spread of light like a standard bulb, projector lights like those in the X Type rely on a special lense in front of the standard bulb to project light on to the road but aren't that good although manufacturers use the design to save space I guess.
