Default Led bulb replacement

I bought a new led h4 bulb for my street bob. But it won't work do I need to get a resistor for it?

What kind of bulb?

For an LED headlight you dont need a resistor, thats only for turn signals on non-CANBUS ECM bikes that can not learn LED turn signals and hyper flash because of the lower resistance. Possible that you got a dud bulb.
