[QUOTE="Nanahanman, post: 1345009, member: 40289"] The problem with most of the LED H4 replacements isn't the light output but rather the pattern control. Plenty more light but not as well aimed as with the original H4 incandecent bulb. This may or may not be a concern to you but I find most aftermarket headlight solutions to be quite distracting in on coming traffic. Others have voiced the idea that there is too much bright white light on the road in front of the bike (on low beam)and actually diminished your ability to see further. I purchased a set of LEDs that were supposed to be very good and sent them back due to poor pattern control. Tried them in 3 different bikes but with the same results. Can't remember the brand. In my research to find a good LED H4, the Cyclops came up as good for off road use so I didn't try them. The only way to be sure is to buy some and try them out. Some general info here...[URL="https://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?377987-LED-H4-and-H7-bulbs-legality"]https://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?377987-LED-H4-and-H7-bulbs-legality[/URL] [/QUOTE]
