LED H1 headlight bulbs in a 993

[Ocho]

Hello all

Has anyone tried this as a direct replacement for the H1 halogen bulbs for the dipped beam headlight?

One of my halogen bulbs needs replacing so I did a little digging and found "Zethors H1 LED bulbs" got good reviews and are available on Amazon (good reviews there too). But different applications have different results so anyone???

For info, I have relatively new headlight units so pretty much stone chip free which I know affects light performance significantly on older cars.

Thanks

Thanks OC.

Thanks to not really looking very closely (I was going from (bad) memory a bit), that I have HIDs already (the halogen Nightbreakers I fitted a few years back were for the full beams).

If one of these HID dipped beams is on, but dimmer than the other is that likely to be the bulb or another part of the HID set-up?

So I think this all comes down to a bit of paranoia and becoming too accustomed to also driving a modern car with modern headlights, and making an unfair comparison with the poor old 993's lights.

I took it out late night last week, testing the LED full beams (which are great btw) and I think the dipped headlights are in fact both fine. Possibly it was just the angle I was looking at it from, which (with the paranoia) made me think something was wrong.

Furthermore, it just sailed through its MOT with a clean bill of health for another 12 months!

Blimey, this won't do. It won't do at all.

A 993, on the road, between October and April? Good grief man what are you doing?

Also, headlight performance is irrelevant because nobody uses a 993 in the dark (or in the winter).

Return your 993 to your heated garage immediately.

Mine is anything but a garage queen, used like it was meant to be. 211,000 miles and climbing but still a great drive. Best car I've ever owned.
