For the longest time I was wondering just how good the Hella H4 lights could be. Well, I took the time to take a couple pictures back to back against the Sealed beams.
The bulbs I am using are 100 watt bulbs.
First, this is what the look like when you compare them to your regular $10 sealed beams.
The H4 headlights (high/low) sell for about $90 for a pair http://www.rallylights.com/hella/5.75_lo.asp
To install them all you have to do is remove the 3 small screws on outside metal trim ring that holds the sealed beam in the headlight frame bucket.
Here is shot of what the output looks like against a sealed beam output. Sealed beam on the left, H4 on the right.
Here is shot with both H4 lights installed.
H4 light output on the road. I adjusted the height to make sure not to blind other drivers and took the car for a spin.
Not a single car flashed their lights at me.
I've had US Ellipsoids on my car with new Silverstar bulbs and I was never impressed with them. I can 100% say that the Hella H4 buckets provide much better output than a good set of Ellipsoids.
If someone wants to let me borrow their Ellipsoids + HID I will then compare it back to back again if there is interest :)
Hopefully this was helpful to some.
