Title: New H4 Technology
Post by: mystic red on August 15, 2011, 09:46:21 AM: Had a couple of drinks last night and saw an item that I had put on my Ebay watch list was ending. This was a H4 bulb that jo pointed out to me a while ago. Made an offer and "won." Review will be forthcoming.

YMMV

Not sure why anyone would want a purple low beam.

I have JO's extra CATZ bulb. When I get the PIAA I'm going to do a side by side comparison with some extra headlight housings I've got. (And test some other H4s I've got too.)

Don't really notice it being purple, it's not a black light, but it illuminates well.

That would be interesting. Keep in mind that a quality really kit will give you about a 20% increase in photons.

(All of my bikes already have relays and beefed up wiring.)

Ya the beefy wire is important, the relays just save your switch ;)
