Hi all,
Since my Puma has the normal headlights (only led is the medium beam), i wanted to know if anybody has fitted another bulb in the high beam to reach the white of the Led...
From what i saw, the best are Philips Xtreme Vision H1 and Osram Night Breakers H1 but i think those will not reach a "similar" white as the Led main headlight.
Does anybody have some photos etc?
Regards

I've bought the osram nightbreaker laser but I failed with the first attempt to install them.

The position is totally blind so, if u still can remove the clip and pick out the old bulb and locate the new one, u can't lock back the little clip, cause u can't see anything.
The only solution (for a noob like me) was to remove the entire pack.

Following the guide I've removed the 3 screws so I could move a little the light, but I didn't feel safe to not break anything, so I surrended.

Well, I've changed the direction indicators with more powerful led lights and the mirror indicator ones (with the same in the other topic).

I'll w8 for a better unmount procedure to change the high beam lights =)

I've always had Halfords change my bulbs....Worth the extra saving on skinned knuckles.....Glad I've got the LED's on this one..

My first bonnet opening today (to refill screenwash)....That is the only time it ever gets opened... :D

Maybe will go to a shop here and have they install it.
