Latest guidance on LED headlights
All -
Been searching but but cannot fund the latest in the discussion. Also realize the technology changes rather frequently.
As of today, what is the best LED headlight bulb for our cars?
I have an 83 928s, but the sealed beams have been replaced with 8” H4 euro units.
thanks

I've tried to do this dual color before to keep the vintage warm look but it's always so hard to recreate. The bulbs look promising BUT we'd have to run another circuit to cycle the lights to change the colors. It would be super annoying to put the motors up/down several times to get the setting you want.
Is turning them off/on via the switch an issue here?
The motors dont have to move to turn the bulbs off.

It might be worth looking back at a review I did (back in July 2017) of a few LED H4 options. Pay particular attention to geometry and the resulting beam patterns.
I haven't seen anything since that time that looks much, if at all, better than the model (which shows up under various brands, sometimes with minor cosmetic differences) I recommended in that post.

Got mine from the kickstarter batch.

Im guessing that the LED placement is _just a tad_ long or short from the LumiLEDs I had in there that had a broader "spray" pattern up and to the right...But these align crisp on the proper line to keep out of peoples eyes.
Im happy.

Based on just looking at the pictures of the Boslla H4, it might be a well-designed unit. The geometry (LED placement), presence of a shield for the low beam, and LEDs on both sides of each bulb is a good sign.
It also looks like the current sealing caps I've got probably wouldn't work on these. It would be good if somebody who gets a Boslla H4 set takes and posts some measurements (most importantly, the diameter and length of the cylinder between the flange and the heat sink).
I haven't been able to find specs on the Boslla H4 bulbs, so there's not much to go on other than the pictures.
