New H4 Technology
« 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.




I think johnny's their shill man.

Ripped from the Ebay ad. I give you the bugeye motobrick.

I'm kind of partial to a really kit and a PIAA Super Plasma GT-X    60/55w = 135/125w, 3800K/5000K

YMMV

I've been looking at the PIAAs.  Leaning towards getting the Intense White 4100K.

http://www.piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs-H4.html

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.

I plan to be running them off of a running car battery attached with equal distances of beefy wiring.  (Since it's not the relay that improves the voltage but the wiring.)

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

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