These are 6000K and as near white daylight as you can get - I have one on my AL7 and they are in both our cars, pass MOT no problem with them in ( many people with HID aftermarket kits or dodgy LED bulbs have to take them out come MOT time ). The draw is about 1.5 amps per bulb compared to 5 amps for filament bulbs and they are inherently vibration proof and unlike the filament in high power bulbs the LED do not have a finite life, so they may be the last bulb you buy - and you can swap them between vehicles if you sell a bike you can take them out and fit them to the next one - it really is a no brainer..... The equivalent output vs filament is about 80watts, but the much whiter light shows things up so much better than yellow ( 3500 to 4000K ) filament light. The big problem with filament bulbs is that from the first time you turn them on the filament 'evaporates' and coats onto the inside of the glass envelope, this darkens the glass so that after even a short time there is less light getting through the glass and onto the road.
Having use these LED bulbs now for over 2-1/2 years I would never go back to filament ones, and I tried pretty much all of them up to +150% and with the mileage I covered had to replace them every 12 to 15 months.

Thread resurrection time. How are you getting on with the LED bulbs after another 2 years? Tempted by these after doing my first night ride on the SV and being able to see jack **** unless I had full beam on. Amazed how badly designed the reflector must be to make a pair of H4 bulbs perform so poorly.
