Looking for a good H-4 replacement bulb.

Skip the H 4 and go LED, I love the improved light output from the VintageCarLED's I installed. The reduced draw on our antique electrical systems is a bonus. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Per Bruce those are all good brands. Also FYI H4 LED bulb drop in inserts/other inserts are not DOT approved for on road use in halogen housings as the reflectors aren't designed to focus an LED bulb light. The housings would need to be retrofitted to a projector obtain the correct beam pattern. But people still use them and most states don't enforce them it seems. I know here in CA a number of people use drop in led bulbs in their vehicles with standard non projector halogen housing and the light is scattered everywhere and not focused. It blinds the heck out of me when I see the vehicles coming towards me.
