Cayman headlight upgrade

[normh]

Hi all having driven the Cayman Out since the clocks changed I've noticed the lights are more yellow than white, very notable after driving another car,has any one up graded head lights ?

I have halogens on my 2014 981 Cayman and find them very good.

I drove last night in the dark and I'd struggle to justify switching if the upgrade was only as good as the Xenons on my last E46, 2010 E-Class, 2012 TTS, or the LEDs on our 2016 X1.

Suggest you drive to an OPC late afternoon and compare side by side with Xenons "out the back" of the dealership or somewhere suitably dark before pursuing upgrading.

I've just swapped the bulbs on my partners MINI for these.

Pardon the pun, but they are night and day better than the standard bulbs

Looks like I'll try the racing vision bulbs thanks

Will Mini headlamps fit the Cayman though?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but it's a H7 I think, would that be correct?

Very short life though, just fitted Philips 130+ in my 996, better than before but still not dazzling. Cheap to do though at £30ish for 2 pairs of H7's.

Dipped beam for non xenon cars are H7 and the main beam is H9
