Can’t you just install an h4 bulb?
That is correct. Reason is the replacement bulb may not have the light emitter at the precisely correct location within the reflector shell. An incandescent bulb has a relatively large filament compared to an led. A filament also emits light in all directions around the wire while an led is much more limited directionally. Ideally the reflector and light source should be designed as a complete system rather than using modern leds in forty plus year old reflector designs. But improvements over stock setup are still easy to achieve as noted by previous posts.Just because it looks bright against a garage door doesn't always mean it will work well in real life.
