Uprated H7 Bulbs
The new uprated H7 bulbs are available. They have approximately 80% more light and approximately 30% more road surface illumination for high beams compared with standard H7 bulbs. Due to the brightness difference between a standard H7 bulb and an uprated H7 bulb, bulbs must be fitted in pairs when installing for the first-time; i.e., left and right headlamp. If an uprated bulb fails, replace as a pair as it is likely that (as an example); if a left headlamp fails, the right may follow.
The new bulbs can be recognized by their chrome-plated lamp cap, and they can be installed into all H7 halogen headlamps. The set with part number A 000 998 00 07 contains two uprated bulbs.
The standard H7 bulb N 400809 000007 will still be available.
