There is a small problem with Hella H4s in that when they are used on cars where they are mounted in a low position (like RX7s and Jaguars), and they are adjusted so that the low beams light the roadway properly, the high beams are then too high.
For that reason, I like the old Cibie Z beams better, although they are admittedly more expensive and rather hard to find. Those third-world H4s like Autopal, etc. have an absolutely horrible conical beam pattern which is nothing like a Hella or Cibie, regardless of what they may claim.

Well, I gotta agree with that. ANYTHING is better than some old sealed beam bulb.

Hell, my MAGLIGHT is brighter than the headlights that came on my car....
