Poor headlights
« on: November 10, 2015, 04:40:45 pm »
is it just me or are the standard halogen bulbs fitted to the 2nd Gen M6 very poor  >:( My prev car was a M£ and I fitted LED sidelights after market HID's dipped beam and upgraded main beam bulbs. This was a whole lot better.
Has anyone fitted Fleebay!! LED H11's to their M6?  I'm tempted to get some to see if they're any better.
This kind of thing

I have the same car like you. I fitted Philips Diamond Vision 5000k light bulbs for the low beam I got some Osram 501 Leds they emit 6000k but the colours are very similar. The change is massive. Firstly I can see a lot more secondly the car looks awesome.

I used the same light bulbs in my Mazda 3 sport for over 2 years. They never burnt out, despite they aren't legal my car always passed the MOT test with them. Mazda dealers were doing the MOTs.:)
I love them.
