Top 10 best H4 LED bulbs
Almost every second resident of Russia has his own car. But nobody wants to get into an accident. And in winter or at night, the chance increases. Therefore, many drivers pay special attention to the choice of h4 lamps.
Of the huge number of H4 LED lamps, about 95% are not suitable for use in a car. The main problem that motorists face when installing non-standard lamps in headlights is the incorrect distribution of the luminous flux and, as a result, the deterioration of visibility or dazzle of oncoming road users. In addition, the "wrong" LEDs create installation difficulties and overheat in operation, which is why they fail much faster than the manufacturer promises. But after all, everything should be exactly the opposite: LEDs became famous for allowing independent installation, and in comparison with halogens they shine better and work longer.

9 Vizant J1 H4
The Vizant brand has become popular thanks to affordable prices for good quality car electronics. He also offers a wide range of serial auto lamps with LEDs from well-known manufacturers. Thus, the J1 series is the next generation of N1 bulbs, which once earned the fame of bright and reliable light sources. The developers improved its light characteristics and worked on the dimensions: the lamp began to shine brighter by 500 lumens, decreased in diameter to 42 mm and was shortened to 83 mm. The area of the radiator edges was also increased, respectively, the heat removal from the ICE elements became more efficient, and the lamp could theoretically last 50,000 hours.
It was not possible to determine what the performance of the device is in practice - there are too few reviews on the network. However, it has another advantage - a scale printed on the base with 360 ° marks. It greatly facilitates the adjustment of the angle of inclination of the lamp in the headlight, which is necessary to obtain an even cut-off line. Also pleasing is the declared degree of moisture and dust protection IP68. According to the standards, it indicates complete tightness, and the manufacturer confirms the ability of the lamp to work in high humidity conditions.
8 SVS X3 LED H4
SVS X3 LED H4 is equipped with six original Philips LED modules. Can be used for low and high beam. It incorporates an intelligent overheating protection system. Suitable for use in harsh climatic conditions. Compatible with both cars and trucks.

Color characteristics have a value of 5000 Kelvin.High-quality assembly provides resistance to vibrations, temperature extremes and increased loads.
7 CARCAM H4 40W
The time has passed when only premium cars were sporting ICEs. Today, stylish headlights with LEDs can be equipped with either a VAZ or a Tavria. One of the most economical proposals is car lamps from the Karkam trademark, known to consumers for inexpensive and functional DVRs. Looking at the price of the kit, it’s hard to believe that they have 6 original, according to the manufacturer, LED chips from the American company Cree. They are renowned for their excellent light output, slow crystal degradation and up to 30,000 hours of trouble-free operation.
The ability of the base to withstand difficult conditions is evidenced by the high degree of dust and moisture protection - IP68, and the resistance to overheating is demonstrated by a massive aluminum radiator and fan. The built-in reflector is designed to provide better light diffusion, and the number of lumens seems to be optimal: out of 4000 lumens, 1500 falls on the low beam and 2500 on the distant one, which is quite consistent with the standards. Unfortunately, this fact will hardly seem significant to the traffic police officers - in 2018, as before, the operation of motor vehicles with light devices, the type of which does not correspond to the factory parameters, is prohibited.
6 Narva Range Power LED H4
Narva's next-generation Range Power LED H4 lamps deliver a rich and vibrant white color for safety and visibility on the road. Due to its compact size, the installation process is easy and can be done independently. This factor determines compatibility with 99% of vehicles.

4 STARLED H4 7Gs LED Headlight
STARLED Headlights with H4 base can be installed to replace halogen. Diodes from the Philips brand, the Z ES series, are used as a radiation source. Due to the small size of the luminous part, 3 LEDs are placed close to each side, which determines the functioning of the near mode. Some of them are covered with a special screen that blocks possible illumination.
Long-range mode functions by turning on the lower row of high-power diodes. The construction is in a colorless plastic tube, which contributes to good dispersion and protection from mechanical damage.
One of the advantages of STARLED H4 7Gs LED Headlight is the presence of two light filters in the kit at once: blue and yellow. The owner will be able to independently choose the color temperature indicator. By sticking one of them on a standard 5500 K flask, you can get 7000 or 3800 K, respectively. To return the original values, you just need to unstick the filters.
The built-in voltage regulator is located inside. This simplifies the installation process as there are no external blocks. The cooling system operates without a fan.
3 Moonlight H4-18W
A feature of the patented H4-18W auto lamps from the Korean company Moonlight is the use of super-bright Powerlightec COB chips. The box says "modest" by Chinese standards, 2000 lumens, and yet the LED lamps are so powerful that they can unknowingly be confused with xenon lighting. However, high power leads to the release of a large amount of heat, and the more conscientiously the developer approaches the organization of heat transfer, the better the illumination and the longer the service life.
The Moonlight company coped with this task perfectly. The copper plate provides high thermal conductivity, its connection to the radiator by means of soldering increases the contact area, which also has a positive effect on heat transfer, finally, there is a heat-conducting tube through which heat is transferred at the speed of sound, and an ADDA fan with a durable and quiet rolling bearing. It is not surprising that this particular lamp is used in the optics of the popular Hyundai Solaris.
