Bringing this topic up from the dead... the issue with Hyper is that their stock and supplier agreements chop and change all the time. They no longer stock AD07 and it seems they are dropping Michelin stock too. So that again leaves the question...where do we get our tyres from? Recently there's been 3 month wait times to get stock in NZ from Yokohama Japan so it is a bit of a worry when thinking about replacement tyres for our cars.

I've made a video for the install to hopefully help others do the same thing in the future. I've forgotten how different it looked with the stock bulbs...definitely worth the upgrade

Haven't had any problems so far and the Philips are the least hot out of all bulbs in a test somewhere online so I don't think it'll be an issue. Better to be warm than soaked with water 😅

Only happens on the left side, I only noticed it after I installed the LEDs but not sure if it was happening before as well. It is really strange I agree haha! Might make a video and upload to show the peculiar behaviour 😅

Thanks for the quick reply, I've got a Final Edition Exige so the front indicator is already an array of LEDs so I'm not sure if your response is relevant? Just to be clear I've only changed the halogen driving light bulbs to the Philips LEDs, and the rear license plate bulbs to local Narva LEDs. I haven't touched any of the indicators

Can someone with LED lights fitted (preferbly with the Philips LED bulbs) check for me if you have the ignition on but the engine is off, does your front left blinker not work properly? Like the indicator ticks really fast and there's no front left indicator light? For some reason mine is doing that but its fine when the engine is on, indicators work perfectly? Not 100% sure if its because of the LED bulbs though?

Especially for something which is basically just a firmware update on cars that are already in the wild. I don't think they need to do any approvals or certs for that do they? Even if they put lots of disclaimers and caveats etc I think it'll be nice for us to have the option of unlocking those features which are already built in via hardware

Its coming, don't worry

Edit: ops that wasn't even aimed at me sorry 😆 The Philips ones from ABD https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/hb3-hb4-philips-ultinon-pro9000-led-headlights-pair.html

This is my video on how my exhaust button install went, hope its helpful in the future

Here's a video of my install procedure and results, quite a simple but really effective mod! Money well spent

Thanks! You need to buy the 85mm rubber caps from Ebay, no cutting or modding needed if you buy the ones suggested from this thread. Its much better than the stock lights but still not amazing to be honest. The main thing I wanted was just to have not so yellow headlights. You can see the light pattern above on the flat and its definitely an improvement. I have a video planned to show the install process and results, just too busy enjoying the car at the moment and not enough time to edit and upload the videos but they'll come soon haha

Yeah its just the Philips ones discussed already. I think I'll try the 83mm diameter cups sometime though, the 85s were a little loose https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/hb3-hb4-philips-ultinon-pro9000-led-headlights-pair.html

Surely AiM can just produce something and provide it for us? I mean how hard can it be to make a video appear when you click a button when they already have that functionality in the MX2E? I feel like we're not asking for much here!

Tested it out last night and here's the beam pattern when the LEDs are facing 3 and 9 oclock
