VXOC Astra-J/GTC

Hi All

Hope you are all well.

Want to change my bulb setup on my 2011 Astra J as I drive on some rural roads and am finding the default setup a little dim at times.

I have read through the lighting thread here: Lighting Thread but would welcome some confirmation/advice on my choices. Figured I would go LED where I can as ultimately these should last longer.

Going to go for

DRL's: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-ASTRA...19d8d2fffd

Dipped Beam: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NM..._pd_nS_ttl

Main Beam: Got to be honest a little lost here, but I understand I can go LED here.

Front Fogs, Either

Any advice/experience welcome

Cheers

DRL's are few people seem to be complaining about them bulbs blowing within a year.

dipped beam Tucpal will vouch for them.

Main beam you can go LED on with no errors as you said you want to go LED route.

Fog's I'm having a hard time finding a set of H11's that will fit in the facelift lamps.

Cheers mate

DRL's I only really wanted those so it didnt look too odd with the whiter main lights.

RE main beam, any recommendations for LED's?

RE fogs, I think I am pre-facelift? This is what it looks like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-VAUXHALL-...Swo0JWI8gM

Yep pre-facelift.

You try these H7 LED's (but I can't comment on them)

As for fogs you try these but again I can't comment on them

I'm pretty happy with the whiteness/brightness of the piaa blue in mine.. I can't be bothered wiring in load resistors and stuff.

I went osram cool blue intense on the dipped... bit disappointed... but then tbh I think the standard J lights are just pretty crap.

Was looking at changing the fogs for LED but might wait till I have my bumper off to swap the grille out.

Agreed, I was thinking about these as a possibility

Would these be classified as a Mod so you would have to inform insurance?

Yes would be a mod, never changed the price of my insurance on the pug

This forum is bad for my bank balance, been reading through all the threads about interior LED's and foglights etc, now and have £90 worth of bulbs in my ebay basket...

Lol but just think how much better the car will be for it.

well worth it and many more how to's to read ha ha

I've still got the fogs, vanity bulbs and number plate bulbs.... then might do some red footwell lighting to match OEM stuff.
