I've been using Hella H4 60/55W bulbs in my motorcycles for decades, and these are no different than the OEM bulbs Honda installs in the factory. The low-beam is bright and lane-filling, and the high-beam throws visible light WAY down-range, as well as lighting the sides of my usual rural roads, which is great for spotting deer and other critters before they are on top of you. I've used Sylvania/Osram, PIAA, and others, and keep going back to these bulbs for quality of light... and most of all... PRICE! Even though these bulbs can last for years, but I try to change them on my bikes annually or at least every 6000 to 8000 miles. Halogen bulbs lose brightness over time (slowly), and after a couple of years, they can be reduced by as much as 40%. Annual replacement guarantees (cheaply) that my night vision will be the best it can be! And if you think about it.. if you average 50mph and log 6000 miles annually, that's 12,000 hours your bulb is on... that's a lot of hours for a single headlight, which has a rated life-expectancy of 20,000-25,000 hours ;) Locally, these are $10/bulb, but I just bought 4 for that price here, so I'll have a spare for my tool bag after I install fresh bulbs in my three bikes before winter storage... Yes, I like to do all my maintenance and oil-changes BEFORE winter, so when the snow stops falling, I'm ready to ride :) Read more

Driving my Honda Fit on unlit roads, I noticed how bad the stock bulbs were. At speeds above 50 MPH, I was outdrivng my headlights. In a bid to improve my nighttime driving performance, I bought two sets of bulbs: these HELLA Standards and Philips Racing Vision GT200s. I first installed these bulbs and, as my photo shows, I noticed a BIG difference. Not only are these brighter, I could see further and both sides of the road better. Next, I installed the Philips bulbs which, according to Bulb Facts, are one of the best halogens. They also cost more than 2X the price compared to these. And, yes, the Philips Racing Vision bulbs ARE brighter and I can see more of the road compared to even these HELLAs, BUT, not by much. I'd say the Philips are maybe 15% better than these HELLAs. The Philips are a whiter light, whereas these are a warmer color, perhaps around 4300K, so, in that respect, I even prefer these over the more expensive bulbs. And supposedly, these standard bulbs will last longer than the overdriven, brighter bulbs. If you're on a budget and on the fence between these and more expensive, brighter bulbs, these actually might be the better buy. They'll definitely be an upgrade, they'll be affordable, and you can expect them to last more than a year. Read more
Gret replacement and alot more affordable than parts stores. Read more
This is insanely cheap for a lightbulb in my opinion, it's exactly the one found on a 1982 CB900C, and I'm sure that applies across the board for these bikes. It slots into the triple tab part like it should, and looks identical to the one that comes out of it; minus the corrosion and possible broken filaments. I replaced thinking my headlight bulb was bad, but it turned out that the contact pad in the headlight switch had worn so bad that it no longer made contact across the triple copper pads in the switch. Power coming in from big bar, but none to headlight white or blue at the headlight plug itself, or even immediately across at switch output, with good grounds! Anyway, it's actually annoyingly bright, and you can see quite far lol. Make sure you tuck those harness plugs in tight in those brackets or getting it back in is going to be annoying, and try not to touch the bulb itself as apparently the oils in your hand will ruin that black stuff on top. This isn't scientific, but Id rather not risk it. Read more
This is an excellent product perfect fit for my situation. The only thing less than desirable is the shipping packaging. The light bulb arrived in the cardboard box only placed in a envelope without anything protecting it. The first bulb I received was bent out of the housing about 45° angle. The replacement bulb they sent same situation just placed an envelope slightly smashed but usable. Read more

Easy install. Put it in. Bike wouldn't start. Thought I blew a fuse, because I'm lacking in the Intelligence Department. Then realized the kick stand was down. Bike no start when kick stand down. Light works great! Read more
