Performs Brilliantly
LED Headlight performed as expected. Brilliant white light, shines much wider than the 90/100W H4 Halogen it replaces. The low beam cut off is also very impressive, it does not blind oncoming drivers unnecessarily. I installed this light in a 2000 Honda Shadow VT750 ACE. In the pics posted, The Halogen is on top and the LED is below. One pic for Low Beam comparison and the other for High Beam.

Beautiful. Bright
Beautiful. Bright. Simple. Outstanding customer service by OPT7. This bulb is stunning! Brightness was a concern as I ride a lot at night and this has completely blown that concern away. Just like HIDs, these make road signs GLOW. The beam casts significantly further than stock and the best part is, cagers CAN'T MISS ME COMING and that fact alone is worth every penny. High beam is very functional, when it works. Within the first month, my first bulb started malfunctioning when switching from low to high beam and back and eventually the high beam failed. I contacted OPT7 and, without question, they sent me an entire replacement order, only requesting that I return the defective item at THEIR EXPENSE to identify the issue. CUSTOMER SERVICE DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT. My second bulb is in and running like a champ. I hope this one holds out but I have no doubt OPT7 would take care of me in the event this bulb fails. Thank you OPT7 for an awesome bulb and your OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I'd recommend this to someone who wants to improve the look of thier motorcycle while improving visibility and safety on the road with the understanding that products occasionally fail, but OPT7 takes care of their customers.

Could not close the retaining ring with this H4 LED kit. The ring with 3 prongs that fits into the bulb housing which holds the LED light in is made of plastic which is thicker than the stock metal on my Halogen bulb, this makes it impossible to lock the bulb in with the bulb retaining ring. Sent it back for refund. Also, this "motorcycle LED kit" was packed in a box meant for 2 bulbs so, this means they are jacking up the price for a single motorcycle specific bulb by splitting a regular auto kit and probably using the spares for replacements. Sixty bucks for 1 LED headlight (the so called motorcycle kit) or ninety bucks for 2 in the auto kit. A ripoff!

"And he saw the light; and it was good."
I just installed one of these — the H4 model — in the single headlight of a 2001 Honda 996 Superhawk that I've owned for about three weeks. One of the doubts I had about buying this particular motorcycle was that I knew it only has a single headlight, and the light from it using a conventional halogen H4 bulb honestly is not great. I've been progressively replacing all of my incandescent light sources with LEDs as good LED solutions become available, but I hadn't taken the plunge with an LED headlight bulb yet because until now, all extant H4/H7/H11/etc replacements were poorly-constructed multiple-SMD arrays with weak output and very substandard light patterns that just weren't ready for prime time.The OPT7 is different.I installed the OPT7 H4 in my motorcycle a week ago, and hadn't had a night ride since then, until yesterday. HOLY MOTHER OF ILLUMINATION! I SEE THE LIGHT! The OPT7 threw plenty of clear, clean, bright white light everywhere I needed it, with no holes in the light pattern and no obvious hot-spots, and there was no indication that it was causing any problem for oncoming drivers. High beam was the same, just more so. The only time I have ever had light this good on a motor vehicle was when I used to have a pair of Hella 162 driving lights on my SS350 Camaro (and I couldn't use those in town). The single headlight on the Superhawk is now putting more usable light — and better quality light — on the road than the dual headlights on either of my previous motorcycles did. Unlike typical multiple-SMD "replacements", the OPT7 has obviously been specifically designed to put its emitters as close as possible to the actual physical positions of a conventional H4 bulb's dual filaments.Installation was a snap. Pop the old halogen bulb out, pop the OPT7 H4 in, reconnect the wire retaining bail, plug the driver unit into the wiring harness using the existing headlight connector, and tuck the driver package out of the way. The only part of that process that was even difficult at all was getting the retaining bail latched properly back into place, and that was difficult only because I had limited access and was having to work by feel. Physical clearance is not an issue. Do this simple mental check: Do you have room to plug the electrical connector onto the stock halogen bulb with the bulb in place in the housing? Yes? Good. Then you have the necessary clearance to install an OPT7 replacement. It's that simple.Unlike many other higher-output headlight upgrade options, you won't need to make any wiring upgrades, because the OPT7 draws a third *less* current than the halogen bulb it replaces. In fact, you will almost certainly get full brightness out of the OPT7 even if your existing headlight wiring is a little on the weedy side and isn't giving you full output from normal halogen bulbs. There exist wiring kits for motorcycles that use the stock headlight wiring just to switch relays that switch power through dedicated 10-gauge headlight wires run directly from the battery, but with the OPT7's power regulation circuit and Cree LEDs, you won't need them. Your stock wiring will do just fine.Time will tell on reliability, but OPT7 feels good enough about the reliability of their product to put a two-year warranty on it. The principal two causes of failure of halogen incandescent bulbs are filament evaporation and metal migration, and the Cree LEDs are immune to both. Filament bulbs are also susceptible to mechanical shock; LEDs are not. 2,000 hours is a good service life for a quartz-halogen bulb; the OPT7 is rated for 50,000. Your skin oils can damage and weaken the fused quartz envelope of a quartz-halogen bulb if you're careless handling it and touch the envelope; there are no such concerns with LEDs. Halogen bulbs produce small quantities of harmful ultraviolet light which should be filtered out for safety; LEDs do not. All the wins here line up on OPT7's side. Sure, the OPT7 is more expensive (by about 2:1 to 2.5:1) than a premium halogen bulb like, say, a PIAA Platinum or an Osram-Sylvania SilverStar. But it puts out about three times the light, those overdriven premium halogens will probably only last about a thousand hours tops, and by the second time you replace the SilverStar you'll be ahead on the OPT7. And the OPT7 will continue to pay for itself over and over all through your halogen-burning buddy's next 23 bulb replacements.If you're like me, you've been looking for practical LED replacements for stock halogen incandescent headlight bulbs for years now, wanting brighter, whiter light, but not finding anything actually usable, and hoping that some day there would be a way to have LED headlights in a car that wasn't designed with them from the start.Well, "some day" is here.Two Technical Thug thumbs up for OPT7. I'd give it more, but I only have two thumbs...

Hi i ordered these for my Audi TT 8n yr 2000 for my low beam lights on a H7 fitting. I can honestly say the quality is fantastic very well made a1 packaging and the colour of the light is a gorgeous ice white with a hint of blue.Bright enough at night to light the road and with a clear beam of light that once adjusted by a mot centre etc will not dazzle on coming vehicles. One tip is worth remembering with a H7 fitting is follow steps 3 in the quick start guide that comes in the pack ;)

Excellent product with a major design fault !!!
Excellent LED bulbs. Huge difference compared to halogen. The only problem is the fact that they do not have light deflectors for dipped beam. This is a huge problem because some of the light is projected into the high beam mirror, so the beam has a bowl shape. Totally unacceptable for MOT. I think OPT7 should look around at other manufacturers and address the problem.
