i have never needed more light than my h-4's (on relays).
need more light? put in a higher wattage bulb. that is all.
the look of the Bosch lens cannot be improved upon, imho.

Hi Creaturecat,
You can have the best of both worlds, I too didn't want to change from the period Bosch lenses but the lighting was diabolical. Not any longer.
See below (So It Begins - p38) on my thread for photos & contact details 4800 lumens (per side) for less than £100 plus shipping. It's a straight plug and play, no messing, additional wiring or fitment issues, and fantastic quality.
Dr. Mitch--the DZug HID kit has an H1 HID bulb from Opt7. You can buy a replacement HID kit on Amazon for about $100 USD or individual HID bulbs for less than $20. Opt7 also make LED H1 kits, though i don't know if they fit. I will probably try next bulb replacement.
No affiliation with DZug or Opt7, just passing what little I know since DZug seems to be DEad.

Thanks Greg great info! Yes, just realized the Dzugs have H1 bulbs.
Curious if the LED will fit. Hoping to find a local shop to do a test fit.
Otherwise, will likely just replace the faulty side.
Sorry meant to post photos of dipped and full beam HID from flat6illumination. Of course I realise people also need to see the cut off pattern against a plain wall, so I'll post those up too when I can . These units passed the UK annual MOT inspection , can't speak for other countries. Units needed a bit of fiddling to mount, but François is nothing if not extremely helpful .
To those of you who have gone the Flat 6 route - may I ask a few questions.
I installed Flat 6 lights on 91 964 and it really was a matter of unplugging the old connector from the old bulb, using the included adapter and then plugging into existing wiring. My questions: on the Flat 6 (I got the LEDs) there is also a set of very thin wires- blue and white. I do not know what they are for and I don't have them connected at the moment.
Can anyone tell me? Not sure if it is related to these wires or not but I can engage the high beams but I cannot turn them off? Only way to turn them off is to literally turn the lights to "off" position and then turn on again. Doesn't sound right. I am awaiting response from Francois who has been just great to work with thus far. Oh yeah, battery died and on the tender now. I have to assume it is related. Thank you all.
No worries - I was told I need a different set of connecting cables and he's already sent them to me. I will update once they're in. Crossing fingers !
For those of us with US spec H5 headlights, what the best BULB upgrade if we don't want to go with completely new headlights/lenses? Are there plug-n-play LED bulbs that are brighter that our old halogen bulbs? Or brighter halogen bulbs that work without needing relays?

TIA.
Don't count on Steve from Woodypeck chiming in.
I contacted his a year ago about the kit he used to sell.
I'm still waiting for an answer
