Jeff,
 
Out of curiosity, are these common H4 reflectors for incandescent bulbs
with LED H4 bulbs installed? I noted that their "standard" reflector is
the same brand that I puchased here in Sweden for my Buick when I
converted from sealed beam to (incandescent) H4.

I have had good luck with the "vintage" LEDs.

   Jeff,



   Out of curiosity, are these common H4 reflectors for incandescent bulbs
   with LED H4 bulbs installed? I noted that their "standard" reflector is
   the same brand that I puchased here in Sweden for my Buick when I
