    F30 Halogen to LED Conversion

    Hi!

    I recently bought a full set of Xenon branded LEDs (H7 for hi/lo, H8 for fogs). The problem that I'm currently having is that the heatsink and fan on the H7 bulb is too large to fit into the high beam housing. If I trim out the plastic in the high beam housing, will there be serious repercussions? I'm just trying to decide if I can make this work or if I will need to get a different H7 bulb with a smaller heat sink.

    I will try to post pictures when I get the chance, if that will help.

    Any help is appreciated!

    I don’t know about the F30 but on my last car, there was a dust/water cover over the bulbs for access and the manufacturer recommended drilling small holes for ventilation.

    I wouldn’t put giant holes or remove the cover completely.
