Truth be told I probably spent more than $200 on LED bulbs until I finally settled in on one that did all of the things I mentioned very well and that was the Lightening Dark brand.

So I wanted to share that here hoping to save some people money and all the aggravation.

There might even be a better brand of LED H4's out there yet, but after the money and experimentation I went through, to finally get one that was more than satisfactory on all those points made me happy enough.

Another tip I found is that if I went higher than about 6500 lumens the light started getting away from the bright white and was turning blueish. That blueish light was terrible for my eyes, I couldn't see squat. Don't know how others drive around like that.
I appreciate the leg work on your part and then sharing your results. They are definitely a great combination for the price.

I agree with the bluish hue. I'm not a fan either. So if next round, I can't justify the Retrobright yellow hue due to cost, the white is certainly next in line.
