thanks. the heat-sink on these look smaller than the ones on the originals that this thread was about. I hope they fit.

@camccardell I'm rooting for you, and if they do, I might be inclined to order . . . of course us poor poor pitiful Touring owners only have one headlight -- have to make it count !

I WOULD NOT RUN THOSE....You are pulling 120W off your generator(alternator) with those vs 20 or 25W with the Cyclops....
Cree Emitters are at about 140 to 200 lumens per watt(depending on the emitter) so JUST BUY the CYCLOPS 3800's from Rocky Mountain for 59 dollars shipped.
You run those 120W's and we might be reading about you in the Electrical forum.....
CYCLOPS 3800's H4's for the win guys.....Stay away from the Fleabay black hole.

You do know that the factory h4 halogens are 60w each right?
I am concerned about fitment and heat, but not taxing the alternator.

Yea, & most of the captains still running an H4 have had to install the Eastern Beaver relay kit to save the ignition switch, ect

Seriously though, you can now buy a 7 inch Truck-lite Phase 7 LED reflector for $160. That should be the default choice for going LED. 5.75 inch versions get a bit pricier.
But these "bulbs" are all, without exception, illegal to run on the road.
And 12000 lumens? I sure hope they step that down A LOT when running on low beam or else you'll be an absolute menace on the road, especially as this type of "bulb" won't work right in a halogen reflector anyway, most likely, you'll get spill light that can be blinding.

I think being antisocial and blinding on the road even if you don't actively kill somebody is kind of an issue in general, personally... not least because tons of glare from your lights will make people look away from you, not at you.
Factory installed Xenon setups are all certified, and are supposed to work properly (ie be non-blinding). Aftermarket Xenon kits are all 100% illegal and do blind people and shoot glare everywhere. You can retrofit a projector style xenon that isn't horrible, but that's more work than most people want to do... its saving grace is that it's not actually horrible, but it's still entirely illegal as it is not certified.
