Hey all! Long story short... haven't used this car for 12 years and due to someone wrecking my other vehicle I am using this as a temp! Felt good to see the old forum still around!

I needed to update the headlights so I ordered some OPT7 Fluxbeam LED Headlight Kit: H7 which fit perfectly in the low beams but the LED head seems to long to fit in the high beam. Anyone else experience this?? Did you find a work around?

 

Most have decided against the LED's until one can be found that fits inside the unit and still allows the sealing caps to be installed, too much chance of excess moisture fogging the insides.
If these allow that, please report.
Also, most report that the 2 sided LED layout does not provide a good beam pattern with our projector headlights.

 

Thanks! So far so good on the low beams. I run these exact LEDs in my Exige and ran it in my Nismo Juke till it ended up being crushed. They produce amazing light and even in the lotus' projectors come across drastically brighter than standard H7 bulbs.

My new LEDs are light years brighter than my high beams now when I flick them on hahaha!

 

TRS ( The Retrofit Source in Atlanta ) has a new offering, the H7 Morimoto LED bulbs. They say you can even get a 'cap extender' to keep the units sealed, I have an inquiry into them asking if they have actually installed in a Crossfire. The cost is reasonable at $135. They also have the 9006 ones for the fogs at the same price per pair.
These bulbs have a horizontal no-bearing fan for cooling.
I'll report back what they say.

 

Ah they do an internal fan! Makes sense then. Otherwise I was worried about cooling. The OPT7's fans are NOT quiet! Can hear them over my actual radiator fan on the Exige lol

 

Did they ever respond as to if they would fit in our high beams?

 

Yes, they will fit in both low and high beams.

 

Yes I have the same problem high beam LED and have no idea how to fix it. Low beams and all other bulbs converted to LED no problem, but the high beam is oddly off center. WTF. Why would they not be exactly the same as low beam. Any ideas welcome

 

The high beam bulb(element) socket has a 180 degree orientation in relation to the low beams

 

Mr. Turbomar I am fairly dense, and would kindly ask if you could elaborate just a bit on the 180degree orientation. I am not sure what that means please. Thank you so much.

 

On one set ( high or low ), the bulb tab points up, on the other it points down.

 

Looking for new caps.
any idea which cap extender to get?
