If you want a quick flick of full beam it doesn't happen with HID's and there can be as much as a 10 second or so lag before the lamp fully illuminates.

It does give a bright 'flash'. I agree that it immediately drops in intensity and takes around 10 seconds to reach full brilliance once again.

Apart from the HID dipped beam and 125W CREE U5 LED DRL's it's now all back to original factory.

Hi Art, just rejoined with my new Biffer and have been all over this thread re the H7 & sidelight LED upgrade - all looks good.

I'm trying to work out how you've mounted your spot lights/DRL's 

Any chance of a heads up or closer piccy? I think you may be on the engine mounts?

Cheers fella

I made up a pair of 50 mm x 22 mm bobbins using some plumbing fittings I had laying around, drilled a 6 mm hole in the engine hanger and secured the bobbins using a M6 75 mm bolt and nyloc nut.

Many thanks Art, great idea.

I'm on it.

Thanks
