No they don't and I didn't expect Eurocarparts to run out of them!

I don't expect them to be any where near as good as my main car. Just some improvement would be enough.


My HIDs are better than my 63 Plate BMW... they were a PITA to fit though!


My main car definitely has better lights than the Jimny.

I bought mine on Ebay for £13 the pair delivered, didn't think it was too bad! I reckon 50% better than standard

my son has put nightbreakers on both of the minis he's had and the difference over standard bulbs is like night and day :P

they were bought off ebay, you just need H4s

it's also well worth cleaning the outside of the headlamp with toothpaste as that also makes the beam brighter if they've started to dull abit

I fitted LED H4 Hi/Lo lights to headlamps. They consume only 20w apiece but throw out probably double the light, signs especially stand out as does all road markings. Only had one driver in 2 months flash lights at me so they mustn't be glary for oncoming traffic. I went for LED's without fans, these ones have massive heatsinks and are cooler than the original 55/60w Hi/Lo globes.

Think the price was $75/pair? Cree LED's, four per unit. The light is pure white.

Crickey, Cree LED headlamp bulbs! They're gonna be bright!

I bet they won't blow for a very long time either.
