Wow, they're not cheapI fitted these philips zes h4 led bulbs about a year ago in my mini. They have a reversable heatsink instead of a fan ans leds that try to replicate the positions of the dipped and main beam filaments. Give a perfect cut of in my very old lucas h4 headlamps.
They look interesting, are they any brighter and where did you get them from?
Horizon sell them I believe

I didn't pay that sort of price for them, I bought them on ebay for around £25, sold as philips zes chipset but probably chinese copy. Had run 100/140 watt halogens for years in the same lucas headlamps, these gave a lot of light but very yellow by modern standards and appeared slow to change from main to dipped beam as the filament slowly cooled. Tried replacing them with philips racing bulbs- similar to night breakers, they were rubbish compared with the 100/140's, gave a whiter light but not much spread of light and were poor on main beam.
Replaced those with the cheap chinese philips zes leds, great spread of light and very white, probably whiter than the factory fit leds on my suzuki. The spread of light isn't as 'even' as my factory fit leds, but thats probably down to the lucas headlamp lenses, the 'unevenness' in the light was there with the halogens too.
The led bulbs can be rotated in their bases to fine tune the beam image. Each bulb does have a small control unit to operate it, I did initially fit it all inside the headlamp bowl, but moved it to outside the bowl as I was concerned about heat. They are plug and play, so no cutting wiring required, so far I've been very pleased with them.
