3800 Lumen H4 LED Headlight

Check the adjustment of your headlights.
At 35 feet, the center of intensity should be 1" right and 1" below center.

Maybe "Left" for us in OZ

Was 40km away from home doing the mowing and yard work for my Mum the other day. First highway night ride since installing Led bulbs. I was suprised that about 7 cars travelling the opposite direction flicked high beam at me apparently thinking I had left my high beam on. Anyone else notice similar things?

Yep I get that in my car too with HID's

Interesting, they have H3 replacement bulbs also, which is what the aux lights on the Touring takes. It could be a cheap way to get LED into all of my lights.

I purchased a H4 type LED headlight from here for my Royal Enfield, but it did not fit. The back of the light was pressing against the speedo cable and causing problems. So I put it in the Rocket.

It is a tight fit, but with a bit of fiddling and arranging the cable, it went in. The difference is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

The stock bulb has low beam way too low, and not much coverage, and high beam sort of okay, in a poor sort of way. I had been using the brightest H4 lights that I could find, but they were still not very good. The LED light gave a great spread of light on low beam. When switched to high beam the low beam stayed on, but a lot more light was sent down the road to light it up.

As it was so good, I bought another one for the other light. I now have two very bright, white lights rather than one white one and one yellow one. The road is lit brilliantly, and I can see at night. I highly recommend them.

There are a lot of H4 type Led lights on the market, some for only a few dollars. These are $65 each, and well worth it. I do not know how they compare to "DayMakers" or other similar lights, but @JoseyR3Wales saw mine in the daylight, and he seemed quite impressed by their brightness.

Dude I was just at the cycle shop, they had (3) onsale of $40 bucks. (2) for my 01 VALK double light, and one for my 08 R3T. can't wait to plug those in, Bro

If they are the same ones then that is a good price. There are many LED H4 replacements, some as low as $5, but these are the only ones that i have seen that are 3800 lumens.

You will probably have to aim them a little bit. I have not had any problem with anyone flicking their lights at me after I adjusted them.

Thanks @1olbull going to play with it. To see what comes of it.

This is exactly the sort of thing that killed HID plugandplay bulbs. The smaller the light units the more fussy they are about the point of emission relative to reflector/refractors.
Most 5&3/4" H4 units are poor to start with as they are simply wasteful with photons.
Add that the base Triumph reflector/refractors are poor and YES you'll have more light but also (possibly) more scatter - and that's what irritates other road users.
