Description

Most LED bulbs have built-in fans and need some space for ventilation. Unfortunately, fitting H7 LED bulbs in Opel Corsa D was a tight fit and the stock back caps of the headlights didn't provide space for ventilation.
I designed some new back caps, that use 40mm fan cover with filter so the bulbs can stay cool, but also dust is kept away from entering the headlight.

As I stated before, this is a tight fit and since different manufacturers make headlights for the Corsa, small deviations in dimensions between them might make the 3D printed back caps not fitting.

Below is a list of some budget(max price for pair 15euros) H7 LED bulbs I bought from different manufacturers.
-NOVSIGHT-NIGHTEYE: High quality bulbs but they don't fit.
-S2: Too long in the front, they push the reflector. Also they have a short lifespan. (not recommended)
-H9 fanless bulbs: They fit easily but they are low quality and low brightness.
-C6: Nice cold white and pretty bright but they are a bit too long and push the reflector. Decent quality
-Auxito C7: A bit pricey but they are a perfect fit and very bright! (highly recommended)


I have also included STL files of the backcaps without the holes for the fan guard(just in case you lost your stock backcap or it broke).

Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
