Yes by all means get the ones that can be rotated and have proper shielding on the LED's if you just got to replace the bulb. I installed similar bulbs in my 2015 car and they work well after proper alignment, have a proper low beam cutoff and don't blind oncoming traffic($75 pair). The high beams leave a little bit to be desired but the low beams are awesome. That's on a car though. I tried a H4 led bulb in my dyna several years ago(for one day) and they were outright dangerous. The light appeared bright but shined everywhere but on the road and they were properly adjusted. But........by the time you get in the upper price range of LED replacement bulbs that actually somewhat work and don't blind everyone, you are almost to the price of the whole LED projector headlight for around $55 that works way better than any bulb replacement.
