Title: BEAMTECH H4 LED BULBS AND ADAPTERS
Post by: John Betsch - "SADIE" on August 14, 2025, 15:17:26

Changed my mind about converting My Euro HEADLIGHT bulbs to LED so:

BEAMTECH H4 LED BULBS v4S-H4 and a pair p4ST socket adapters

 My cost was $61.99+ $26.32 for adapters

For sale: $30. plus shipping

Pictures attached

Great idea, noticed that it says they are fog light bulbs.  Do they give the correct light pattern etc? Mainly for the UK mot etc.

The UK members may be able to confirm or correct this, but I thought recent MOT rule changes have clarified that no LED bulbs retrofit are permitted at all now - only when part of OEM spec’ed headlamp assembly (obviously n/a for the W113).

yes thats correct..... but doubt many mot stations would look or even care, but yes it would be illegal. only good news is pagodas dont actually need an mot anymore to be legal. And i guess you could swap them out at MOT time

It is also illegal in EU, unfortunately.

I refrained from this modification. It is indeed very unlikely that anybody would check or spot this. We do not have to go through technical inspections if the car is registered as classic.

but...

I wonder what would happen if, touch wood, we would get into dispute with any insurance company (covering my car or a car I accidentally damaged) when it, touch wood again, comes to payment for damages....
