i need to fab up a housing for my bumper lamps (driving lights to avoid the heavy stock housing.
i may carve/sculpt from willow or basswood.
or maybe i can get a block of dense foam to sculpt.

As I posted in the other H3 thread - can anyone confirm fit of in an S4+ in fog & Aux headlight locations?

Getting parts together to replace my front lights with LED bulbs..... so any idea when or if these caps will be available again?

Ed Scherer

They will be; I still have materials for another 18 pairs. I've just been extremely busy and haven't had a chance to make another batch. Maybe in a couple of months or so.

Resurrecting an old thread...

I have been running H4 LED's in combination with these awesome covers made by @Ed Scherer for several years now. See post 87 for more details.


Occasionally, I notice fog inside the H4 headlight lens when I arrive home. Usually, these trips are 20 minutes or so. I don't have any long-distance observations. I should note that I live in Portland, OR, where the winter weather is usually on the brink of fog, temperatures in the 40's, and relatively high humidity. I am curious if others using these covers are also experiencing occasional fogging. @Ed Scherer do you have any suggestions on how I might mitigate this? Would more airflow help? Or is it possible that too much airflow is getting in? Your thoughts are appreciated.

The pictures below were taken after a 15-min drive with the lights on, temps in the low 40's and no precipitation.

Needs a heater element inside. Drill the city-light bulb hole and put an incandescent bulb in there

The new H4 LED from Philips is a direct fit.
I installed the LED lights on our old Volvo and it made a difference.

Awesome, and thank you for this Philips alternative. It's nice to see LED packaging evolve to be more of a suitable drop-in replacement.

Buying: Where did you get yours? I found only a few places that sell it in the USA.

Lumens: The stated output is 1500 lm (lhi beam) /1000 (low beam) per bulb. This seems pretty low compared to the "stated" outputs from other H4 LED's. The ones I currently are using are 4500 per bulb, assuming that is for both Hi/low beams, but still double the output. Now we know that lumen claims can be dubious unless tested. (see video from other RL post). I guess the best way to tell is to test myself.

I bought the LED H4 lamps at a local store.
Lumen is not that impressive, but it is a big difference to previous halogen lamps.
