2005 v50 head light replacement

[Brazuca_ny]

Hello Community

The head lights on my V50 seem very DIM.

I am looking to replace them with either an HID or LED kit.

It has the projector style head lights, how can I go about this correctly?

Thanks in advance.

First I would check headlight aiming. The light cut-off is very sharp on these cars, and if they're aimed too low, it can be easy to outdrive the lights.

OTOH, there is a lot of activity around aftermarket HID. It is not, however, a trivial mod. The cars use PWM to preserve the halogen bulbs, and the pulses mess up the HID ballasts.

Got you, now as far as these new LED lamps would you have any feedback?

Thanks for the reply
