I doubt LEDs can put out as much light as a Halogen or Xenon bulb - especially at that price.

I picked up some bulbs with the same type of LED to put in my Hella driving lights. They did not put out nearly enough light to be useful. I seriously doubt these would work any better.

we have at work LED work area lamps.. they are 24 volt and very bright however u can see that they just do not THROW the lumes very far.
the US militay in the middle east have installed new LED headlamps (not bulbs) in to the ground vechiles. they are very bright and use a very detalied freznal lense to direct the light. these are 28 volt and custom made asseblies. LEDs are still a work in progress. give it another 10 years and they will be the standard.. if you want more light then upgrade to HID's or up the watts on a standard buld

Some of those military LED headlights are very good but they are incredibly expensive.

Which reminds me, I need to get an Apache to scout the road ahead for me. Laughing

Hi Very Happy
I try to convert Halogen H4 to this LED H4 Very Happy
Watch my Youtube video.

I think this LED H4 seems little weak to use dark night Embarassed
If some company makes 3W LED H4, I wanna buy it.

An H4 LED can be bought at Superbrightleds, but they specifically state that these are to be used for Daytime Running Lights ... not head lights. They can be found here:

Take care.

That model is no longer available for scouting us, too busy in the casino industry! Very Happy Laughing Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes
