As the title says, I installed some LED headlight bulbs today and you'll wonder where the yellow went LOL
I got them from John at Advmonster

Okay I’ll bite. Which model did you install? H4r2 or H4r4? How’s the beam cutoff?
How did the rubber boots fit on those bulbs? (I know, with great difficulty!) I see they have a short fan length. Did you slit the boots to get them on over the fan?Funny you should mention LED headlights. I installed a pair today, the F2 ones. Considered it a complete success as I am bleeding from only 4 places on the back of my hand :weirdsmiley: .

I have the same bulbs. The bulb/fan disconnects from the mounting base. Put the mounting base in the housing, put on the rubber boots, slide the bulb end through the hole in the boot, twist the bulb to lock it in place, and you're done.How did the rubber boots fit on those bulbs?

I could not get the bulb to click into the mount base without some boot modification. I cut off about 1/4" of the ID, worked fine after that.I have the same bulbs.

With the ones I used, your concerns are unwarranted. I used Xtra-Vision bulbs previously. Note I ride mainly rural, even for commuting. My observations of the F2:I am looking to replace my stock bulbs. With all the talk about led bulbs and stock reflector optics I will be interested to see how the H4R2's cast out their light. Also, the product description on the ADVmonster site says both high and low beam's are both 5800 lumens. Shouldn't there be a difference??
