Hi All
I wanted to share this in case it benefits anyone else. Super short story is I upgraded to H4 "Warm White" LED bulbs from ClassicCarLEDs in the UK and couldn't be more satisfied. They have a 3000*K color temperature and look 1000% period correct. I acknowledge the light distribution from an LED bulb is not the same as a true halogen but, for me, I almost never drive at night and the pros outweighed the cons. Cost for two bulb kit was about US$100.
Longer story, I own a 1966 Triumph TR4A for 22 years. I still run the 22 amp Lucas generator and halogen bulbs consume 10-12 amps. My initial search started because I wanted to run DRLs for safety with all the other cars on the road but, did not want to turn-on my 10amp halogens all the time.
After a long search last winter, these LED bulbs tick all the boxes:

After a long search last winter, these LED bulbs tick all the boxes:
- 3000*K light color is perfect. No one can tell the difference from stock halogens (I was really concerned 3000*K would appear too yellow but, not at all). This was a huge consideration for me. My car is nearly stock and I did not want those 6000*K brilliant white bulbs near my car!
- See photos below
- LEDs arranged in an H4 format
- These definitely give more light (reportedly 4500 lumens per pair vs 2500 to 3000 for halogens)
- They consume ~1/3rd the power (reportedly 3 amps vs 10-12 amps for halogens)
- They do not have an external fan like so many other LED bulbs (one less thing to break or fail)
- They fit entirely into the stock headlight bucket with no modifications (the heatsink is reversible. there is a control box but, it all squeezed in there).
