Interesting. Were my headlights hidden in a faring, I might be inclined. There is a real advantage over HIDs in that it's more compact.

Clever, but I'm a bit skeptical of that heat sink strategy. Braided wire would not be the best thermal conductor.

Put a soldering iron up against braided wire, and you will get a large thermal gradient (which is a bad thing for a heatsink).

Put a soldering iron up against a good sized chunk of finned aluminum, and it will take FOREVER to get it warm.

Before you invest check out the Lumen output,
1100 is a 100 watt household incandescent,

your h4 is over 1200 lumen


International regulation ECE R37 specifies the luminous flux of the H4 bulb: 1650/1000 lumens ±15% and max allowable wattage 75/68w @ 13.2v. The U.S. regulation 49CFR564 for the 9003/HB2 (U.S. designation for the H4 bulb) is similar: 1580/910 lumens ±10% and max allowable wattage 72/65w @ 12.8v.


most HID lamps are in the 3000 Lumen range,
Until the led's get there I will wait.
