Another concern I've had with LED headlights is the 'tiger stripes' that they can emit (kind of looks like stripes of bright light and stripes of dark intermixed). I've seen this problem on my Harley with different LED headlights until I found the one with the least amount. That was a concern I had with these bulbs as well. While I did notice a small amount of the tiger stripes, it was very minimal which pleased me.

What you mentioned was a concern for me as well. I must have went through 4 or 5 different brands of LED H4's trying to find something I was happy with. The light was either striped, or the pattern was terrible, or the difference between high and low beam was non existent. 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.
