<div dir="ltr">Listers,<div><br></div><div>I spoke with and ordered LED type H4 replacement headlight bulbs from Super Bright today. </div><div><br></div><div>I had a discussion with their tech guys and learned that the LED replacements for my BJ8 bulbs draw 1.5 amps (each) of power vs 5.5 - 7 amps of power for each of the incandescent type bulb (low and high beams). The bulb I ordered is the H4-HLV4 bulb (they fit my semi sealed H4 light) and do not require the additional ballasts that the Moss and others need. Everything is built into the base of the bulb and nothing more is needed. It is truly a plug and go bulb that should fit inside my bucket. The wiring harness does not need to be upgraded nor do relays need to be added, the power draw is so much lower. All of this said by the tech guy who had installed H4 lights in his 68 MGB, with the original wiring harness, without altering the wiring and he has not had problems. His comment is that the LED bulbs draw a great deal less power that the H4 bulb and are brighter than the Moss units.</div><div><br></div><div>The price for my order (Presidents Day Special, 15% off) is $71.85 including taxes and shipping. No, I have absolutely no financial interest in the company but I have done business with them in the past and have been very pleased. </div><div><br></div><div>When I receive the bulbs I will let everyone know how it turns out.</div><div><br></div><div>Fred</div><div>66BJ8<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Feb 19, 2019 at 5:20 PM <<a href="mailto:simon.lachlan@alexarevel.plus.com" target="_blank">simon.lachlan@alexarevel.plus.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB"><div class="gmail-m_-8095414080100282835gmail-m_-6728303565194396048WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span>If you’ve already, say, put in light units that will accept H4 bulbs then you only need to replace the bulbs. These LED things, so far as I can see, mount into the unit the same as an H4.
