LED High Beam bulbs

[BigBoomer]

Hi All,

Has anyone here replaced their 9005 high beam bulbs with LED ones.
The HID Low beam brightness and pattern is awesome, but high beam doesn't seem to add much so am considering some matching (4300k) LEDs.
The high beam bulbs currently in there have a yellower colour than the HIDs (D2S), hence the desire for the 4300K LEDs.
Any recommendations on a brand or any gotchas on fitting them?

Probably more trouble than it's worth, try Osram Nightbreakers instead. A straight swap and much whiter/brighter

With the onset of the new MOT regulations LED bulbs in a halogen headlamp will be a fail as will a HID conversion. As Peter above states the only real alternative is the Osram Nightbreakers bulbs. As with anything there is a downside in that the running life of these bulbs is short.

I understand that for dipped beam, but for main beam it shouldn't matter as it doesn't have a specific pattern cutoff and you should be dipping rather than blinding the other guy.
I have a well designed H4 dual beam LED in one of my bikes and the pattern is better than with a halogen bulb, but that bike's headlight does have a fresnel lens on it (GTR1000).
I'll ask my local MOT tester and see what he says.

I have just got LED to work on rx400h main beam, had to use resistors of 24watts 6.8 ohms to get the LED to Work.  I bought mine on eBay 4 sided with fans.
