Putting an H4 bulb in an original head lamp is a waste of time. It works in an H4 light unit. Fitting relays in the supply lines with heavier wires direct from the battery , gives you the brightest h4 set up you will see., { better lightning than an 8 year old Motoguzzi ]
However after fitting a "Trucklite/ or GE Nighthawk " LED headlamp [ $260.00 nz ] I now have the brightest light ever. It draws 1.8 amps on low beam and 3.6 AMPS on high beam [ both together ] whereas the H4 setup draws nearly 8 amps on either beam.
In conclusion, the original charging system is fine. the Nighthawk is cheaper than the complete replacement charging system.
If you change your charging system, you will still need to buy the LED to get better lights. There are LED bulbs out there that are cheaper, and that are supposed to be designed for the existing head lamp [ probably H4 ] but until someone can compare the 2 different systems, I would suggest the Nighthawk would be the best option.
My anytime rider has the Nighthawk. My 750 glamour girl has the h4 SETTUP. Maybe one day I will buy one of those LED bulbs and try it in the 750.
