    Hey everyone, I do mostly daylight riding and purchased this bulb off of Ebay. All I had to do was reverse the positive and negative on the plug and it works and looks very nice. I can say that is is a bright white with a minor hint of blue and seems much brighter than the ordinary H4 bulb.

    here is the listing on Ebay

    I am in no way connected to the seller of this bulb other than I just purchase and installed it on my Maxim..

    hope this helps

    Not DOT approved. No high beam. How does it look to oncoming traffic?

    In my opinion, and those of a friend that passed me, it was very bright and noticeable.

    That means you ticked them off because they were blinded.... Lucky for you it wasn't a cop.

    Also, better make sure that when it does burn out, it does it during the day rather than on a dark foggy road with suicidal deer---

    I went out for a ride last night. It is brighter than the old bulb, however not so bright that people were flashing their headlights at me.

    "Also, better make sure that when it does burn out, it does it during the day rather than on a dark foggy road with suicidal deer---Dave f"

    Well, regular bulbs burn out and I don't ride on dark foggy roads at night, that is what my other XJ is for..Jeep Cherokee..

    This was just an fyi..Information to share....guess it was mistake

    Not a mistake Bruce, I make led lights for all my bikes, nice to see what they sell.
    There's a mountain bike forum that gets downright ignorant about the DOT stuff if you mention a street vehicle. They do make some nice little lights though.
    What I've noticed is "splashback" from white reflective signs,because of the wrong. Beam shape.
