LED headlight bulbs for Volvo S70, V70, etc. - Video Topic is solved

Post by **rspi** » 11 Dec 2016, 17:15

I got a pair of Ziste H7 LED headlight bulbs (kit) from Amazon to improve the lighting situation on a V70. Video shows installation and before & after test.

Here is a MVS link (I think): https://www.amazon.com/ZISTE-Headlight- ... s=ziste+h7

Nice. I'm going to be trying my first LEDs in my new fog lights I just got for the old girl.

Better than the HID's Robert?

Man, I love those HID's I got from you. The cooling system on the back of the LED's make it a little harder to retro a weather proof cap on the back, still have to work that out. Two wires instead of one. My HID's go out sometimes which is a pain.

Bottom line, 6 in one hand 1/2 dozen in the other. I have NO PLANS on ditching my HID's for the LED's.

I'm going to install a set of these LED's in my daughter's S70. Tired of fighting with her dim head lights.

I found out my reflectors were bad by watching an earlier "Robert" video. Luckily I found 2 good reflectors. Once they go bad, Ima have to get some LEDs. I really don't like the 6000K, would rather get 4000K, but they are harder to find.

These are 4000k.

I'd upgrade with good reflectors.

8000 Lumens! OMG that's unsafe to oncoming traffic. People you can't do this you can cause an accident. And it can be determined as your fault regardless of who hit who or what first.

Actually, each bulb is 4,000 lumens. Obviously more than the 1400 lumens in a standard H7, or the 2100 lumens that many people have substituted in (H7, 65W).

But if the headlights are original, the reflectors are fading and the lens it pitted (which describes the vast majority of 98 x70 cars), then I don't know that 4000 is so outrageous.
