I purchased the same one Steve posted. I don’t have my gauges back yet but I installed the lamp into my halogen carrier and held it in place. Looks like I’m going to be happy. Nice wide beam with a clear cutoff line and a central hotspot on the high beam. Below are pics of it roughly hand held in place . I’ll post better pictures of pattern after the front end is reassembled. Your pattern will 100% depend on the reflective surface of the carrier. Unfortunately I tossed the box but mine was purchased thru Redline Cycle

Finally received the light after a forever. they seemed reluctant to ship.

but the blub seems to work good. packaging was kinda poor. But the LED bulb fit very well in place of the h4 bulb, didn't have to bend the clip a lot, but had to stretch the boot a little bit.

so as I stated before I think, but I have a yellow lens Marchal headlight. The result: Green light lol.

In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power...Green Lantern's light!

probably won't use it but the product itself seems to be decent.

Would like to see L and H beam patterns on a flat surface like Mikaw posted.
