Having tried improved halogen bulbs and still not entirely happy, I am about to order some of the H7 bulbs from the US that you linked :

Silly question, but when you order these you get the option to add an anti-flicker harness (PWM) - did you have to order / fit this to yours ?
No I didn’t fit that.

Thanks Rich.... I'll order today! - was tempted by the Morimotos, but sounds like there's some issues with RF interference so not worth the risk given that you have had such a good experience with the HR LEDS.

Hi, new to this forum! Got a Macan for my wife but came with the halogens. I order the H15 thanks to your guide, and was looking into getting H7 from HR. There are a new brighter ones called GTR ultra 2 but they said that neither this ones or the SV4 fit.

Do you have to get an adapter? Or just plug and play?

Thanks!

The H7 SV 4 were just plug and play. We know they fit. The issue is with untried one is they they may not physically fit into the headlight. There is not a lot of room!

Great Ti Rich, you didn't need an Euro H7 adapter to fit? It seems that the GTR are even more compact :) cheers

What did you do mine are on DRL only, did Ledperf had a solution? Cheers

Sorry - Yes - ordered from HR and they worked perfectly - SO much better and I'm happy with the dipped beam now... tempted by the LEDPerf H15s now! - thank you for this thread/info Rich!
