Xtreme Headlight Bulb Upgrade

July 11, 2019, 09:57:29 pm

I have been searching the forum to see if anyone has upgraded the lamps in their Xtreme headlight upgrade.  I have only driven at night a few times but the projector lamps were not very bright.  I had to resort to my bright lights when able.  Also, there does not seem to be much light to the side of the coach, when turning at an intersection.  I was just wondering if those projector lamps could be upgraded to LED or if there are other options?  My neighbor has a 2001 U320 with the same issue.  Any suggestions?

Yes I put led bulbs In my extreme upgraded headlights on my 2000 U320 .. haven't drove at night yet but turned em on one nite in the park we were in and they looked pretty good. Easy to do, plug and play. You need a H9 base on the bulb. I got 6000k color, a white color...  I like them....

Yes those should work... I bought mine off an ad on Facebook, I think the company was cariflex or something like that

Interesting.  Could you provide a link to the bulb you used?  Also, I would like to clean the lenses on my Xtreme headlights but have not found a way to remove them.  Could you describe how you got into yours?

Thanks in advance,

George you get to them by simply laying under the coach and reaching up on the back side of the light and twisting the bulb a 1/4 turn and it comes out, unplug the wire , plug it in the new bulb and put it back in. I looked for the ad on FB and wouldn't you know it can't find it. If I wasn't looking for it it would come up all the time.. if I see it I'll let you know

I found this link:  Elevate Your Driving Experience with Carifex Automobile Parts

They have 72W and 100W lamps, 8000 lumens and 10,000 lumens respectively.

Yep that's the place I got them.  I think this is the ones I have. I couldn't find it cause I had it misspelled which doesn't surprise me. Sometimes Siri will look at me and say "dude what the heck you trying to spell". 😂
I just put low beams, high beams are H9 base also.
