H4 LED globes

[dom14]

On the money there @dom14. Previous owner of mine put in 100+/55s, which turned the H4 plug to charcoal and the wiring into tortured red melted messes. He must've bumped up the fuse too. Not sure how close I came to car fire... Back to standard draw high outputs now.

Are these 100/90 ones mate?
It's not clearly stated in the ad. Says 100W/12V, but apparently H4 with two filaments for hi/lo.

Good read mate. Thanx.

on that note according to the guy here in wa from the licence inspection centre he told me that the round 7" sealed beam hi/lo led lights were legal so for GQ owners that might be aus wide not sure so check with your local licence centre

Yes kind of. The JW speaker brand LED 7" Hi/Lo headlights are adr approved but I think are still illegal in most states. There are plenty of things that are adr approved on their own but when fitted to a vehicle it makes it illegal.

Yeah, they all have different laws in different states.
I think I'll play safe by sticking with traditional halogen globes.

This looks like a pretty good deal to experiment with. Loom upgrade is a definite need for this.

just because it draws more current doesn't mean it actually brighter. and if you have plastic reflectors high wattage globes even with a loom upgrade will melt the actual reflector.

They come with a loom don't they? So can they pretty much go straight in? Misso bought me a pair of JW speaker and was gunna return them but still in 2 minds whether to give them a go...
I think its pretty stupid that things can be adr approved but when fitted makes it illegal. Where else are those products going to be used??

Yeah, the thought has crossed my mind.
If it converts all the extra current it draws into heat, it's not any brighter than 60W globe, of course.
I was hoping the claim of 6000k brightness is real.

I'm wondering whether anyone's tried these higher wattage globes in their conventional lenses, successfully(without cooking the lens)??!!!
