H7 Bulbs

[Mackers]

i fitted some new ultra blue bilbs to my 2000 avensis, but the beams are all to pot, do the bulbs have to be fitted in a certain angle, cos they do have a sorta lug, if you know what i mean.

They sure do, that lug should engage with a cut out in the holder. When viewed from the front, filaments are usually parallel to the ground (I think)

[Mackers]

thats right, but with that in mind, what angle of rotation does the bulb sit in the housing, i don;t appear to have "LUGS"

[sjrainsford]

There's a dimple rather than a lug on a H7 I think. Either way, you should make sure they are sitting flat and square in the holder. They should only fit flat one way.

Hate to say it, but I hope you aren't expecting better light output from those bulbs, hope it's more for looks.

Just to add, the dimple should be facing upwards when fitted.

[Mackers]

actually there is better light, the lines seem brighter along with the signs

as for the dimples there are 3, and a cut out bit :S

This is the link to my friends website for the bulbs, if any of you are intserested, like i said these bulbs work brill, a much crisper, whiter light.

The ones i bought are the top set, the Super WHITE xenon. £14.95.... for 2 bulbs, so it's all good :D :D :D

Err pardon my confusion macker, but that top set are H4, and your post is entitled H7, I may be interested as my altered bulbs are little better than the originals.

[Mackers]

my mistake, lol, but they are the H7 versions of them.
