Just did a Front bumper and headlight upgrade.
Now I want to put LEDs in the new headlights , I want the lights to be bright and white, not any blue.
I was told to use H7 LED 6000k for the low beams, and
H7 LED 6000k with a simple HID kit for the high beams.
I don't want to throw and codes and want plug and play.
Is this advise correct?
Please I need some advise from someone that knows lights.
You're better off with an HID kit for forward projecting lights in your low beams. With LEDs, you're going to get reduced throw distance, light scatter, and dark spots in housing not designed specifically to capture LED surface mounted light spread.
i would think you would want to use the LED bulbs as high and HID as low, due to the warm up time for the HID, you wouldn't be able to "flash to pass" or otherwise use high beams to signal as effectively. Interested in seeing how it works out, as I have some LED lights on their way that I was planning to try in my high beams, already have HID kits for lows.
It's not really worth it to put LEDs in the high beams they never align right and poor light distance due to the reflector design, I have tried a couple of different brands. The high beam on the W211 actually uses a E39 adapter. Photos below unless they make a E39 bulb with a H7 plugs just run some Osram Night Breaker Laser Which I think are the brightest H7 bulb out to date right now.
I tried the whole led headlight conversion but our car headlight harness is different, even though it used an h7 buld, there is an extra metal harness clip that the bulb plugs into and clips on behind the projectors and because of that, a reg h7 bulb will not connect to the projector. Why do md do this, who the hell knows.
If anyone's knows a solution to this or a special adapter please share. Otherwise I been using philips diamond vision, it not the best but it enough, it last me over 2 yrs n still going.

That's what I am running in my high-beams might switch over to the OSRAM Night Breaker LASER bulbs.
