Astra J 2012 5 door HEADLIGHT + SIDELIGHT BULBS

[sanj424]

I have an Astra Sports tourer, similar in color and spec to @sheppy , even have the same wheels. I have now just fitted H7 LED bulbs to the reflector housing after a lot of research on different types and power of bulbs, also needing some slight customisation to fit.  I know its not really recommended for reflectors with glare issue, that is why I specifically went for H7 Leds bulbs that fall under the following criteria to try:

1. Just about 2000 LM.  (HIDs go to 3200lm +, some LEDs also can go higher)
2. Color is 6000k or lower
3. Tries to replicate the halogen bulb beam pattern (size and placement of led chips)
4. And to make it feasible to fit with the astra j bulb holders: the heat sink has to be removable and the stem of the bulb be narrow enough. 

So I got :
1.  24w, 1800-2000lm per bulb, 5700k colour LED H7
2.  H7 bulb holders with a larger hole in the middle to fit the back of the bulbs
3.  LED can bus error free (resistor for H7). 
4. Some back covers with a hole in the middle (got some generic rubber ones) for the heatsink to pop out. 

Results:
1. Overall I am quite happy so far  it, the glare and beam pattern is not anymore than my Philips White Vision H7 I had (1400lm, 4000k colour), which still appeared yellow next to the LED DRL. 
2. Pure white (no hint of blue) - can see some contrast with my 6000-6500k LED DRL that seems to have a hint of blue relatively. 
3. Stronger without additional glare
4. Throws farther - so I have now notched down the level via the electrionic switch. (0-3 level, Was on 2 before, now just at 1)
5. Error Free!

Will post some photos soon!
