Rate mine 4/10 for aim, and beam pattern, 7/10 for brightness, but bit on the blue side.

Considering changing back to osram nightbreaker, while pondering other options.

I've replaced my H4 7" bowl with a 'Daymaker' clone, or I would have decent LED bulbs in.

A friend is running some expensive Philips ones (£140/pair or thereabouts) and they seem to be very nice indeed, beam pattern included. If he's behind me (Rare) I can see his lights lighting up the road as well as mine. This is on a Brutale 910 though, so he's not shy about spending a few quid for nice things. I can find out exactly which ones if someone wants to play guinea pig for BCF.

id guess more expensive ones would be better because money would have actually gone into testing the beam angle correctly and not just wacking some chips on a board.

I seen 6/8 bikes with LED conversions most have scraped though the MOT I have a kindly tester
Me I run HID yes there more work but they Well in the bikes I fitted them to give a good beam pattern and pass MOT easly
(requirement for self levelling is fro 3 or more wheels ) I am told

I would love to see a good LED set up but not seen one yet !
I guess my customer are too tight to but really good LED bulbs Oh like me !

I am told by my mate that the LED bulbs he's running are Philips Ultinon.
He says there are ones branded not for road use - He's not tried those, he's using the ones in the white box (Road), not the blue one (Race). Expect to pay £150ish for a pair
