Problem solved. Just minor issue with one wire. Must say its pretty bright (6500K bulbs) in comparison with old halogen headlights. And beam is much sharper too. You can see where exactly ends. Really day and night difference. On the last three photos you can see comparison between low beam/high beam/LED light bar.

The last ones here looked good Stoveltramp.
The problem with most of these is that Here in Norway you will fail the MOT if there is no asymmetrical low beam and of course E-marked lenses. Also I have heard if the car is originally delivered with one type of lights you cannot change them, but that might come from the Xenon conversion kits that is not allowed when the car has no auto-level adjustment. I have tried a few LED bulbs but they miss the sweet spot in the headlight so the low beam and high beam does not point in the best direction. The LED center is not in the focal point of the headlights geometry.
Really want to change my headlights due to small cracks from winter temperatures in the plastic lens. they still pass cause I have polished them good before the MOT.
I agree with Kirkynut. Nightbreakers from Osram is a very good investment cost/effect wise..

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

Indicators ?
Night lights ?
Brake lights ?
Fog lights ?
Reverse lights ?
Reflectors ?

Rhino -
Backlight function:
- Sidelights (dimmed red glow)
- dipped beam (dimmed red glow)
- full-beam (dimmed red glow)
- brakes (bright red glow)
- reverse (bright white glow) - both sides
- Indicators (bright orange glow) / also on the lower bumper
The only lights not on them are the fogs which I wired into the lower bumper.
Hope that helps.

R2D 2 kind.
Cheers.
Seen them for about £180 on AliExpress & eBay but LR Challenge can get them cheaper... when China opens back up from their new year, so will wait to hear from them.
