I fitted them to mine - see my gallery. I reckon that they're okay and were easy to wire in after some input on here from Wiggs. The only disconcerting thing ( at first ) was what appeared to be random flashing. This I discovered was the look around the corner bulbs actuating when I go into a corner.

Howdy Bill Thumbs Up , a few some questions if you dont mind bud :

Ok but not impressive ? Cornering a gimmick or does as it says on the tin ?

Are they pinspots or wide arc ? Reckon the glass lense is durable ? Had any water ingress ?
100W or 55W ?

Have seen pairs for 125 whicjh I thought was good for Hella.


(Nice job on the mounts , very tidy Thumbs Up )

Hi DW

I suppose that the see around corners bit could be construed as a gimmick as they don't actually do that. What they do is to effectively light up the side of the road in the direction that you're turning. No so important on A roads and motorways but in the sticks - where i live - it's a useful tool for night driving in country lanes. They have two bulbs in each lamp and a motion sensor switches the bulb on in the correct side.

My bulbs are 55w halogen but they can be swapped out for 100w. I'm not sure if that's legal in the UK. The beam is fair. It's no Nitesun ....... but fair. Pinpoint? No. A little wider than than that but definitive.

No water ingress at all and they've been submerged (or dowsed with the bow wave) a few times. No glass damage. The wiring harness is complete with in an line fuse system that is easily mounted on the RHS in the spare battery box. You need only make one break into the D3 harness for legal wiring. £125 seems a good price. I think that I paid £140 last summer but I got a £25 rebate for allowing the retailer a picture of my D3 with the lights fitted. I don't know if he used it.

Hope this is helpful.

I thought this light was a sealed unit, in that when the bulb goes you can't change it, you have to buy a complete new lamp???? I am probably wrong!
