12 Plate GTC - tribal_tiger - 11:th-Aug-2018

Hi,

I recently purchased a 12 plate GTC but have found that the headlights are terrible.

Before I found this site I had a look on a few sites, put in my number plate and used the info they said to buy new bulbs.

Well they all said to get H7 bulbs.  I've gone to fit them and they are the wrong type!  The bulbs currently fitted in mine are HIR2 LL (9012)

I've been having a look around but am having trouble finding what would be a decent replacement bulb for it to give me better vision at night.

I'm just looking for something that would be straight swap if possible.

Cheers

I'm sure someone with GTC will be along soon with some links.

Although I think most fit HID kits to them, I'm also starting see LED bulbs being fitted also.

Hi mate, I bought some of these

Just be aware they’re quite a tight fit to get the rear cover back on.
This is what they look like fitted


This is with LED DRL bulbs as well

Did these LEDs cause any dash warnings?

No mate, I haven’t had any errors.
