Hi! I tried several variants of headlights and stopped on Hella. It's used, but enlightens the way much better than new Autopal, Neolite and all this...
Basically I started with a brand new set of MK5-look Hella lamps, and cut them up to fit actual D2S factory MK5 Bi-Xenon projectors in them, and wired it all with theretrofitsource.com bulbs and ballasts. These are as nice as can be, and really have tremendous and clean light output.
So, I built these headlights a couple years ago for my R32. Basically I started with a brand new set of MK5-look Hella lamps, and cut them up to fit actual D2S factory MK5 Bi-Xenon projectors in them, and wired it all with theretrofitsource.com bulbs and ballasts. These are as nice as can be, and really have tremendous and clean light output.
Some 30 year old Hella Smileys for my 448k mile car really seemed to clean things up.
I can vouch for the quality of these lights, they and a huge u[grade from the stock setup: they have a nice output and cutoff.
Hella is just going to be better quality than those no-name brands.
Mine came with a nice set of IPF e-codes. I want to replace them with some Hellas to add the city light.
I had this on my f10 2014 535. I have the leds and it was 2400 for the headlight plus 500-600 each for the two control modules. You might be able to reuse the modules if the pins aren\u2019t corroded.
this is not normal and happens only on modern made Hella headlights which are garbage. You will also experience extreme fading of the lens in a few years and a circle burned in from the projector shine. I've also heard about the inner black piece fading but can't say for sure because I haven't seen it myself (the other issues - I have) The quality has dropped insanely since the cars production era.
I bought new hella lamps and mounted them nearly half year ago. Any ideas why they are getting so steamy ? any fix? Im so dissapointed, this shit is pretty expensive
