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

That's for a pair. Use the drop down box and select one and the price changes. 👍

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
As has been mentioned LED headlamp bulbs are now allowed as a retro fit as long as they meet certain requirements regarding dip cut off etc.

There are two options on the Classic Car LED website one being slightly more compact in design, the standard version looks very similar in design to the one in sye's link twenty-20 little difference in price between the two. Halfords do an even dearer version with a 5 year warranty.

On our old Jeep we had the fan cooled type of LED replacement as there was plenty of space in the light unit- I found the dip light beam fine - on full main beam they highlighted the limitations of the lenz design.
IMHO LED replacements are still evolving in terms of design, price & reliability - that said I do like the whiteness so am a convert.

Oddjob:
I bought 2 of the bulbs Ted, ones in my Cb500 headlight and the other went into my CB1300 headlight, that's still going strong, no problems, nobody has flashed me about it being too bright or dazzling them. It's a really good output, not tried it on main beam yet as I haven't been out in the dark on country roads since fitting but I'd imagine it will perform extremely well.

Shame it's sold out, you need the compact version as there is not enough room in the bowl for a fan one. maybe wait until they come back into stock?

I use a Led H4 bulb from dynamo & regulator conversations. In my 750k1.
Absolutely fantastic light. I actually look forward to night riding. Where I'd dread it before.
I also have them in my Rd400, Tdr250, 250 Motorsport. All with excellent results. I bought some cheap Led H4 bulbs for my van, off ebay.
They were so bad, they were downright dangerous!
There are massive variations in quality. Buyer beware.
Buy cheap. Buy twice.

I didn’t have much luck with the cheaper led ones and bought:
a Philips X-Treme H4 Moto bulb 12342XVBW for £10-12. Not perfect but not bad for night riding.
