Lamp test H7 lamps

15 H7 lamps in the test
Motorcycle headlight lamps

15 H7 lamps for motorcycle headlights between EUR 2.95 and EUR 34.99 were tested, evaluated and compared with one another by MOTORRAD.

Thorsten Dentges

02/17/2017

There are also considerable differences in the H7 lamps tested. The weakest H7 lamp only shines a good 40 meters, the best over 50 meters. Good light, of course, means increased safety: the driver recognizes dangers and obstacles, can react faster and perhaps avoid an accident. You should keep this in mind before thoughtlessly reaching for the next best replacement lamp if the original part fails.
