Besides BOSCH, who else make H4 headlight replacements?

I got BOSCH ones right now, I think its leaking or has some condensation inside...so I'm willing to ditch those and try a different brand. Who else makes these H4 Headlights for our cars?

Hella, but they are a bit more pricey. You get what you pay for though.

H4 Bulb replacements made by Hella, Phillips, GE (see above post)Japanese brands and PIAA, PIAA being the best IMHO! I've run most of them.
As far as headlight replacement casings, stick with the Hella (Strictly Off Road light). But make sure they are aimed correctly or be prepared for unwelcome constabulary attention. They have a sharp cut UP to the right! Hella also makes a DOT legal casing at about $30 or so. The off road ones are about $50 each. I've run Hella or Cibie for about 15 years, in a variety of vehicles. Never a problem as long as you put time into aiming your lights properly! Put the clear plastic coating on the front to protect the glass from road debris. Get that at Camper's World, yeah, the RV place!

I got PIAA casing.
Looks amazing. Lighter then the seal-beam housings.

As for light wise, I got PIAA Extreme whites in there. VERY VERY GOOD.
HOWEVER, the PIAA is japan only, so it's designed for right hand drive and will blind on coming traffic....

This is an amazing upgrade for my midnite mountain runs since it lights up the road 100x better then the stock stuff.
