[QUOTE="Nanahanman, post: 1274858, member: 40289"] This is the point I have been trying to make on a number of forums. The LED and HID replacements for a regular halogen H4 just don't do the job the same. The optics are not designed for that light source! Yep, plenty of light but in all the actual documented tests I have seen, light pattern control is an issue. Checked out a number of review on the Cyclops 3600 and 3800 LEDs. Light beam pattern issues and, in one review, the person said the "whiter" light actually reduced contrast on certain objects. In another case, the fact that the low beam stayed on when the high beam was activated, created so much bright light in front of the bike that it affected how the high beam was perceived in the distance. The reviews for off road use were great but that's not our application. Still waiting for an LED system that does what a standard H4 does but brighter. Not seen one yet. [/QUOTE]
