[QUOTE=jaykay;648531]It would appear that that LED bulb technolgy is galloping in leaps and bounds./QUOTE]


Yet no reputable bulb manufacturer offers an LED H7 replacement.

Some hucksters go so far as the counterfeit the packaging.


From the Candlepower forum ... https://www.candlepowerforums.com/forums/automotive.87/

Be mindful that there are a lot of bad ideas and bad products in the vehicle lighting world. All of them are hyped and promoted as great ideas. CPF Rule 11 is particularly important here because of the safety concerns with motor vehicles and their lighting.
This means (among other things):

Homemade headlamps, taillamps, stop lamps, turn signals, fog lamps, etc, are not safe, effective, or legal. We will not help you build or troubleshoot them. We will not argue this point.
"HID kits", "LED conversions", and "projector retrofits" aren't safe, effective, or legal. If you have one and it's not working, we're not going to help you fix it. (If you have one and you think it's working, it's not; get it off your vehicle before someone gets hurt). We will not argue this point.
Only very few of the "LED bulbs" for non-headlamp/non-foglamp use available on the market work safely and effectively; most of them are unsafe junk. The ones FOR headlamp/foglamp use are ALL unsafe junk. We will not argue this point. See here and here for two examples of "LED drop-ins" that are not legitimate, no matter how hyped on eBay and no matter how rave the reviews for them are.
