LED Headlight only

Sk4 · Feb 22, 2014

Hello,

I want to know if it is possible to turn only the LED light in the front of our hyperstrada ?

thank you

(Sorry for my bad English)

Do you mean turn the headlamp off, with only parking lights (LED) on? Not when the engine is running. Maybe you could pull the Fuse #1 in forward fuse box, but I don't know if it handles parking lights too.

Illegal to run without lamp in US.

I dont know of any H4 LED only bulbs. I would be intrested in this if it gave out (much) more light than normal.

There is a thread about converting the reflector to a bi-Xenon HID beam.

Jamie, look at lifetime LED. Best on the market, plug and play no harness or anything and puts 2400lm on low and 2600lm on high. 5000lm when both on. That's more lumens than a 35w hid kit at 4300k. Also uses a third of the power and less heat.

Thanks.
Did you install one ? Noticeable difference ?

No, ordering them soon. Seen videos of them installed and read testimonials about them, plus they are waterproof as well. It's cool that they have one LED for low and another for high. Only thing I worry about is the back cap fitting. Not that big of a deal, but still. They have a wider spread of light and put out more light.

This is a Toyota Tacoma with dual H4's. See how far the light goes? See how wide it spreads?

Thanks. I will be looking to get on for the Hyper when I get it in the summer. I already have a 55W HID on my GSR600. Be nice to have the power of the HID but the spread of the LED.... looks likes its there now

No worries. HID is becoming a thing of the past. Sure LED is at the point where it puts out a lot of light and used in cars now... BUT. Now the whole rage is the new laser headlight technology from BMW and Audi. Those supposedly produce miles and miles more of light and use less power? Only a matter of time before that tech follows.

Their site shows 1400/1800 low/high lumens for the H4M kit. The regular H4 kit shows 2000/2600 low/high lumens. Where are you seeing a higher powered light for H4?

Possibly confusing two products. I'll have a look around. There's a few others I have bookmarked.

jerdog53 · Feb 25, 2014

There is quite a few H 4 LED bulb options available which makes it confusing.

I can't agree enough, plus there's many products with all different lumen outputs, some say 3000lm total lumen output, some say low and high lumen output. You have to be careful. Lifetime was the best I came across cause they are the brightest I've seen, there's one more which I found too which are flat LEDs on each side of the bulb for low and high, but they do not have the reflector on the bulb itself to spread the light more. I've looked on EBAY there are so many with CREE and COBB LEDs. It's so hard to tell, that's why I just stick with the lifetime LEDs

Also noticed the car kit is dual bulb. Makes me wonder if "2000 lumen" is for two bulbs, not each...

cape821 · Feb 25, 2014

I'm very sure that it's for each

H4M motorcycle headlight

I take it this is what you're thinking of installing? And the fins on the back, I assume for heat disapation is what you're concerned with? Or am I looking at the wrong bulb? I'm not sure that 1800LM on high beam is that much more then what we have.

cape821 · Feb 26, 2014

Just got a confirmation that it's for each bulb. 2000 for low beam led and 2400 for high beam led for total of 4400 lumens.

cape821 · Feb 26, 2014

Chase, that's the one thing I'm concerned with is the size of the heat sink, not a deal breaker, can find a way around that. Also keep in mind that the stock bulb is just 1000 to 1600 range in lumens. It doesn't get brighter.

jerdog53 · Feb 26, 2014

So these LED bulbs are capable of high and low beams?
