McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
My none standard headlamp on my 400/4 is fitted with a fairly standard H4 halogen bulb in December 2020 I purchased a LED replacement from e-bay branded a Bevinsee unit @ Â£7.99.
Whilst doing my wiring it worked fine they are not polarity specific - after about 3 lots of 5 second testing it worked fine - now its dud - I've tested it directly to a battery its blown.
In the past I have bought quite a few from China for our old Jeep and had no issues.

All my clock dial LED's I bought from Classic Car leds they have been fine - I priced a H4 from them (currently out of stock) they are Â£30.32 each plus delivery probably. Have folk here used reliable cheaper sources for LED bulbs or do I bite the bullet for better quality ?

My experience with e-bay warranties on Ni-Cad batteries in the recent past has taught me they are worthless.

About 18 months ago Fitted a H4 LED instead of a Halogen,
Just to cut the wattage and see if the light was better,

Basically, the light was more diffused, not so good for serious night riding,
So returned to H4 halogen,

I find as long as the battery is ok,and you ride fairly briskly, it charges ok.

I did a review on an H4 LED conversion Ted, it's a sticky somewhere. Shows comparison shots between a Halogen H4 and an LED H4 using a Cibie Z beam headlight.

Have a read and make your mind up.

I can recommend the one below. Fantastic and the same beam pattern as a standard H4. Pricey at Â£33.00 but passed an MOT with it fitted and transformed the headlight on my CX500.

Link takes you to a bulb that is Â£65, that's inflation for you.
