Can I Change Out The Headlights For A 2014 Mercedes E350 Full Led

FaeLLe

Hi - I take an E Grade AMG Line with Part LED headlamps - I desire to supersede the full beam (Halogen) with LED as they look poor and perform poorly compared with the LED main beam - any thoughts / pointers ??
I am considering this kit H7 Loftier Beam CREE LED TURBO SUPER Brilliant 7200 LM XML Scrap HEADLIGHTS C | eBay

I would be wary of third party headlights, they are frequently not as good from a condom perspective.

You can work with COMAND to come across if they tin can retrofit the new headlights / Intelligent Low-cal System on your motorcar.

Agreed, don't mess up your 14 plate Due east Course with something inexpensive from eBay that apparently fits pretty much every car e'er made.

Speak to the experts in retrofitting optional extras to Mercs.

I also accept a 2014 E class 350 and am of the aforementioned stance well-nigh the original lights and feel the principal beam lets down the rest of the package. I did mail on here earlier in the year near whether it was possible to upgrade the main beam but nobody came up with any ideas. I have fitted some brighter H7 halogen bulbs which are a chip improve but still not up to the performance of the dipped axle.
I cannot understand why the earlier posters are questioning the LED H7 bulbs you are proposing, you are not suggesting fitting aftermarket headlamps, just replacing the master beam bulbs. What is the difference between this and plumbing fixtures brighter H7 bulbs or even doing a HID conversion, which I am personally not peachy to do as everything does non fit within the original housing and I think they burn hotter than the original bulbs.
I am certainly interested in these LED bulbs and provided that the supplier can confirm everything fits within the existing housing I think I am going to fit some.

I also have a 2014 Eastward class 350 and am of the same opinion about the original lights and feel the main beam lets down the balance of the parcel. I did mail on here earlier in the year nigh whether it was possible to upgrade the chief axle but nobody came upward with any ideas. I have fitted some brighter H7 halogen bulbs which are a bit better but notwithstanding not upwards to the performance of the dipped beam. I cannot understand why the before posters are questioning the LED H7 bulbs yous are proposing, you are not suggesting plumbing equipment aftermarket headlamps, just replacing the master beam bulbs. What is the departure betwixt this and fitting brighter H7 bulbs or even doing a HID conversion, which I am personally not swell to practice every bit everything does not fit within the original housing and I think they burn hotter than the original bulbs. I am certainly interested in these LED bulbs and provided that the supplier can confirm everything fits inside the existing housing I think I am going to fit some.

I think it'southward because they are relatively new

Plus information technology doesn't say on that advert what K information technology is, them stating information technology is 'white' simply isn't enough, I'd take a good guess that it'due south in a higher place 5000k which would probably be illegal. If it's 4300k which is technically the OEM 'white' then happy days

Resistors would be needed (if non built in) to avoid error messages

Endeavour Nightbreaker unlimited +'south in at that place instead they are brilliant

Car that new I wouldn't touch a thing! Only halogen

Just looked at the ad once again, seems it says no fault letters.

It won't 'fit' inside your housing though, that would stick out past the dust caps leaving your headlamp units open surely? And if that'due south the instance, would the connector wires stretch out that far to plug into them?

Remember that y'all should legally inform your insurance company of any modifications and that the heat sinks on LEDs exercise get HOT.Advice copied from another forum from someone who knows virtually these things.

DO NOT FIT THESE.

I work in calorie-free,

The reflector (or headlight bowl) is designed for a particular lamp source, is the lamp source size, position, and photo metric output. Change whatsoever of these factors and you volition change the beam spread.

Whilst the HIDs perhaps brighter on the retrofits, the reflectors and lenses are not designed for these, and then the cut off angles are not there. The rules relating to the axle pattern of car headlights have been around for a while, are well documented, and developed for a reason.

The LED retrofits will exist even worse, as they relly upon multi point source emission.

Don't be selfish and fit these but then that You lot can meet amend, you volition be causing glare to other route users. Glare is every bit disabling as looking at the sun. Please don't do it.

it'south an fault to judge a axle pattern solely by its cutoff (which is all an MOT checks for) In many lamps, particularly the projector types, the cutoff volition remain the aforementioned regardless of what light source is behind information technology. Halogen bulb, HID sheathing, cigarette lighter, firefly, concur information technology upwardly to the sun—whatever. That'southward considering of the mode a projector lamp works. The cutoff is but the projected prototype of a piece of metal running side-to-side behind the lens. Where the eyes come up in is in distributing the light nether the cutoff. And, equally with all other automotive lamps (and, in fact, all optical instruments), the optics are calculated based not simply on where the light source is inside the lamp (focal length) but as well the specific photometric characteristics of the light source...which parts of it are brighter, which parts of it are darker, where the boundaries of the low-cal source are, whether the boundaries are sharp or fuzzy, the shape of the light source, and so forth.

And to be honest These company'due south are so stupid as to offering these without doing proper investigation (polar curve and photometric tests........or a simple MOT) They even state on the website "very effective at moving traffic on the nurbergring"......... Well the reason for that is that yous are glaring all the drivers in front end, in their rear view mirrors, blinding them,so they would rather pull over than crash considering of their stupid headlight conversion.

But looked at the advert again, seems information technology says no error letters.

They do fit inside the unit of measurement with the original dust caps in place - I had a brief look but its never stopped raining and so volition fit on the next decent mean solar day - information technology volition be fiddly as its quite tight to get them information technology merely plenty of space / ventilation once fitted - As they are simply for high beam which isnt tested on MOT nor would y'all go on it on when either following someone or someone is approaching you I'chiliad non besides worried if the they produce glare - more about performance - Will update once fitted

Pondskater

Who are the experts please ?

boxbrownie

If..........they are genuine CREE Leds then they will produce a lot of estrus through the heatsink (I dubiousness the heatsink has been properly designed anyway), you could be lining yourself up for a heap of trouble..........thermal event wise.

Good luck with that insurance claim.

Hmmm possibly - but I've run them on a test bed for 15 mins - very bright pure white low-cal much brighter than a halogen - The heatsink was warm not hot - and how long does any ane keep full beam on for ?? certainly non like principal beam. I volition retest again for xxx mins this fourth dimension and see.

boxbrownie

Not wishing to tell you to suck eggs, but I assume your test bed has the aforementioned restricted airflow/confines and temperature every bit the within of the headlamp when the dips been on for a while as well?

Hey it'll probably exist fine..........but information technology is a 2014 motor and if the worst does happen you tin can say good day to whatsoever payout, are the main H7s really that bad?

Its not for the mains as per my mail service - its total beam = information technology has the LED chief beam - Information technology was running in an onetime escort head lamp - Im dealing reality not dreams - neither do I want my hard earned turning into a total loss !!

ash59fifty-uk

Its not for the mains as per my post - its full beam = it has the LED master axle - It was running in an old escort caput lamp - Im dealing reality non dreams - neither exercise I want my hard earned turning into a full loss !!

Full/primary is the same thing, information technology's your dipped axle that'due south LED

You lot're honestly playing with fire at that place (excuse the pun) they look/seem safe but I'yard paranoid equally to the fact that they just haven't been properly reviewed or tested yet :/

Are people forgetting how hot halogens run? and this high beam bulb runs for xv mins in an escort headlight with no issues, who uses their high beam for xv mins solid??

My c220 2015 with high performance led lights runs a led light for high and low axle, low are housed within projectors, and loftier is an led saturday within a reflector manner light. I really meet no great issues with this seedling and would give information technology a go were I in same position afterward these tests etc, for comparison, run a halogen bulb for same duration and record both temps achieved.

And to note, there will be no bug of blinding oncoming traffic etc equally mentioned above as it is high axle use only. Who wouldnt flash if anyone was budgeted them with loftier axle on? regardless of halogen, hid or led.

My c220 2015 with high performance led lights runs a led light for high and low beam, low are housed within projectors, and high is an led sat within a reflector style light. I really see no bang-up bug with this bulb and would requite information technology a go were I in same position afterward these tests etc, for comparison, run a halogen bulb for same elapsing and tape both temps achieved.

But the Element of group vii seedling'south rut point is within the reflector basin where it is designed to get hot, this LED "bulb" has it's rut signal at the rear where the heat sink/cooling fins are, out in the enclosed PLASTIC/ABS portion of the lamp assembly forth with associated wires and cabling.

no dissimilar to the standard heatsink establish at the rear of my oem led lights then really?

Only those are the dip beams, correct?

And designed to cope with the thermal emissions from those bulbs.

Hey........information technology's your car, try them. :dk:

dipped and main are both led, not my car, re read thread them comment champ [emoji106]
