Hello folks!

I've swapped native H4 halogen bulbs to Koito dm008 Bi-LED modules with polishing. Why? My low beam was extremely poor, while high beam was fine with Koito bulbs. Azoom (Chinese brand) H4 led bulbs I've tested and removed because of too much light power - with pumped light emission I would like to NOT cause blind for other drivers.

Budget:
  • 2nd hand (no used) Koito dm008 ~$120
  • swap operation in specialized workshop ~$120
  • lesser items ~$100

Main challenges:
  • mount Bi-LEDs inside headlight unit (disassemble headlight unit, install, plug in, aesthetics, assemble back)
  • fortify headlight unit - it gained weight thus stock mount is not fit, most probably
  • adjust lights - you would need at least 2 steps: with and without fairing


Please note: such conversion may be illegal in your state or country.
