Default Cheap headlight H4 upgrade LED

I want to share it with rest as I was looking for cheap headlight upgrade to LED and in fact purchased some LED bulb that didnt shoot the light in the right spots as many warned me ahead of time. Money wasted for sure.

Well world goes forward and new ideas /products are introduced so I bought next bulb after additional research and this one is quite an improvement and shoot light in right places and has nice light separation for low and high beam.

I am really happy with results I got from Hikari. New design actually provide metal “wings” that truly separate light beam for high and low beam whicj is something that was missing from previous design.

Worth consideration in case you are on the budget and want good results. And no I am not associated with Hikari just want to pass the good news to fellow riders. 30$ on Amazon for 2 x H4 LED bulbs that actually work you cant go wrong with that.

I like it well, a true low/high beam pattern so it is easier to adjust the headlamp by the book. Plenty of light to sus out any obsticles on the road.

You can rotate this bulb after installation to adjust beam pattern. This is what they mean by adjustable
