Hi John,

I do not have ITV x 

But reading the info on ITV site no necessity for Alexa mentioned at all.

Goodbye ITV Hub. Hello ITVX!

Minimum technical requirements (itv.com)

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Julie.

Thank you. I do not have ITVX either. According to the site you referred me to one has to pay a subscription for ITVX (it is the opening paragraph of the article). The subscription is £6 per month.

I am being told that with the Amazon tv firestick (which plugs into a TV) you can get ITVX free. BUT I am also being told that it can only be receive ITVX for free if it is accessed via Alexa.

Alexa can be purchased for around £20 where as twelve months subscription to ITV X would cost around £72.

Regards, John

After doing some digging into what HID bulbs my 2015 X250 has, I believe it has DS3 bulbs. I also saw that there are LED DS3 bulbs.

 

has anyone fitted the LED DS3 bulbs to there HID lamps?

LEGALITY OF UPGRADING FROM HALOGEN TO HID or LED HEADLIGHTS. MOT TEST. ??????

Can someone please advise.

MyTV has ITV Hub, but does not list ITVx.

I understand this can be viewed by buying an Amazon TV Firestick. Have been given two differing pieces of advice:

1/ That the Amazon tv firestick has to be used in conjunction with an Alexa

2/ That an Alexa is not necessary to be able to receive ITVx.

Is their someone who can definitely confirm this status either one way or the other.

Many Thanks and Regards, John

Hi All,

a bit (as in very) disappointed with the dipped beam performance of my S Type headlights, i've cleaned/polished the lenses (used T-Cut as they weren't that badly opaque) and fitted new bulbs which improved them a lot, finally giving me a beam pattern.

However, the amount of light they actually put on the road is minimal. I'm seriously considering upgrading to the HID lights fitted to later S Types, looking at the diagrams they appear to use different feed points from the fusebox and also use a relay to power the ballast, with the relay coil switched by what would be the dipped beam line from the Front Electronic Module.

Has anyone done this conversion? If so, any pointers please? Alternatively, has anyone found any decent LED H7 bulbs that will fit into the existing space at the back of the headlight unit? Quite happy to (temporarily) refit the halogen H7 for MoT purposes as long as the LED bulbs give me the light i want/need on the road after dark.

TIA,

I , some while ago, submitted a posting (sticky) on this forum in respect of the legality of upgrading to HID lights from Halogen. In a nutshell , if the original fitting is halogen they are not legally upgradeable to HID and can therefore be failed on MOT.

Not for me to say you should not do it, that is obviously your choice.

Excellent 

Plenty of submissions on this topic on this forum.
