Default Osram Night Breaker Laser H4

Im looking to swap my bulbs out. I would like my lights to be as white as my sidelights for a reasonable cost and little work ie just swapping over whilst maintaining the integrity of the waterproof shrouds which fit over the normal bulbs

I have read all the older posts about bulbs on here.

Is anybody using these?

I'm using the Night Racers which give a touch more light and are designed to deal with the vibration and shocks from m/cycle fitment.

Have a look at these - have these classiccarleds H4 LED bulbs in both our cars and my SV and they are great, much better than any filament bulb I have ever used. They have all passed MOT with LED fitted.

These bulbs are about 6500K, very white and are really noticeable in daylight, a real plus for a motorbike..

There are dimensions for bulbs on classiccarleds website, my SV is an AL7 with single headlight, your shrouds may or not fit, but on our cars it was easy to get the rubber seals around the bulb and then screw heatsink back on, the constant current module and plug are waterproof.

I read the post about the classic car led’s but didn’t want to spend that much but does the rubber shroud still fit when these bulbs are used?

As far as I can see, the "laser" bulbs are 4050K compared with 3900K for the "unlimited" version. Cooler than standard, but if you have cool white side lights, I think it'd still look warm.

I’d really like them to be as white as the sidelights, I’m not very hopeful without going to led’s

The rubber shroud to seal around body of bulb and back of reflector which leaves the 3 pins on rear of bulb sticking out to fit the normal 3 pin plug will still fit as you can screw off the finned heatsink fit the shroud and then screw heatsink back on and connect the inline 4 pin plug from constant current supply to bulb. The other side of constant current supply will plug into the normal 3 pin socket that fits onto rear of standard bulb. The 4th pin on cable between current supply and bulb is a temperature sensor that will reduce current supply if temperature of heatsink gets too hot.

No wonder my last reply wasnt posted I pressed the report button and not the post reply button!!!!

If the voltage drops wont that affect the performance of the bulb? And is there a chance that the heatsink will melt the shroud?
