MG's are from the era where a standard round 7" light fitting was used. The same one as you might find in a Land Rover or Mk1 MX5 etc., simpler times when a complete unit costs (today) about £30 to replace vs £2500.I thought it was a no no to fit LED bulbs into reflector housings?
Only in projector type housings were they any good.

4500 lumens main beam and 4500 lumens dipped. Should be miles better than the candles currently fitted
Plus I got a full set of E approved led "bulbs" for the rest of the car.
With 12V? I have a feeling they are rated based on the 32V input.
Do you even need the reflectors for those? Look like a halfway house without a protector but can see they are more traditional looking for sure.

So I'm sure Greebo is referring to replacing the whole unit with a generic 7" LED retrofit, not throwing a bulb into the existing one.
I have friends with mgb/midgets who went with the ebay type ones but in daylight they just dont look right on the car IMO. Too modern looking.
You can legally replace the whole unit on any car to LED ones as long as they are CE marked. It's just the retrofit bulbs which lack approval.

They have been around for years and are recognised as the go to supplier of UK legal LED lights and bulbs in the UK for classic car owners. I wouldnt trust anybody else.they have a ce certification certificate, as nasher reiterated ? - their web page seems negligent in that respect, and could be worried about insurance implications, like those with any after market led H1's etc.

I never noticed buses or lorries behind with lights that dazzle from behind but some SUVs do.
I suspect the best solution would be a stricter MOT test for headlights - it doesn't appear to have every been updates and they just wheel that thing in front of the light and look at it projected onto a screen with markings.
It seems as though it doesn't matter how bright the light is above the cut-off as long as it is brighter below it.
There is.Looks like a debate in parliament on LED headlights being to bright (started from a petition) got a lot of attention:

Hopefully they'll be action.
