981 Cayman Headlight Bulbs

[Schuey_911]

Hi,

Has anyone upgraded their standard (non Xenon) H7 headlight bulbs?

If so, which ones would you recommend please?

I find the standard lights quite poor if I'm honest.

Thanks.

Thanks very much, I will try and find those ones online and get some ordered up.

Just catching up with this thread. I haven't ordered anything as yet. But all of the above seem like decent viable options and will be better than what I have at the moment. Please let me know how you get on with the Philips ones, as I might order the same then. Thanks.

Crappy photos but hope of some help.

So first things first I was changing bulbs because of a blown bulb, wasn t necessarily seeking to upgrade, just to put right.

Ended up going with these with the aim for a small improvement without too big a sacrifice on longevity (although the job was a breeze - hardest bit was disconnecting the loom).


Initial thoughts are they won t be life-changing but maybe a small improvement? Colour looks nice; less yellow but not the blue-white that would look too modern on the car. Haven t driven it yet but I have been unknowingly driving with one headlight for however long so I expect to notice an improvement but will be hard to know if it s the bulbs or just two lights instead of one

Thank you for taking the time to take the photos and upload here. I agree there is not a massive difference in those pictures at least, but I'm sure you'll notice some improvement on the road. Better than before for sure

Just bought these:

Easy to fit, 5 mins a side and already look more promising

Will report after first night drive

That's a pretty good result. Any errors on the dash?

Good result, thanks for the feedback.
