Hi

I've noticed a few older posts on here mentioning people updating their headlights to LEDs and getting great outcomes.

However, (almost) all reference or link to eBay or similar posts that are long gone.

Can anyone tell me where I might find LED lights to replace the old/dim regular lights on my Tuscan S?

Cheers

I have LED bulbs in the standard hella projector units which work well.

Hella have had LED versions of the headlamp units fited to the Tuscan for a while now. Comes at a price though.

You can swap the incandescent bulbs (assuming you don't have HIDs fitted) for an approriate LED bulb. I would go through an established supplier rather than eBay.

I have a Tuscan S which means HIDs I believe.

As I'm in Germany, it's all going to be pricy either way 😫

I like how bright and clear the high beams are at present, just the dipped are rather weak. A uniformly updated light with more coverage would be ideal.

I assume those three names at the bottom are companies that specialise rather than just search terms to use, right?

Any issues at MOT time? I thought that retro-fit LEDs in halogen units were an explicit fail. (Assuming that's something a tester would bother actually checking)

You could retain the HID units and swap the non-HID units for Hellas LED version.

They are three established companies (in the UK) that supply suitable LED bulbs for cars that don't have 'CANBUS' or similar electronic management hardware / programmes etc ..

I have had LED bulbs in the lower spots (Tamy has spots not fogs) on my mk2 Tamora for nearly 10-years. Not been mentioned come MOT time. Headlamps are Jeep LED units (even older).
