The led unit has a " controller " which is a small plastic hermetically sealed box about 40 mm long in between the led unit and the original 3 pole halogen connector.
In my case i mounted the unit outside the headlight fixture for cooling purposes, mine still works so far but i fear Ennsinc's controller has followed the demise of Houtman's unit, i very seldom ride in the dark but am aware of the unpleasant surprise when chinese electronics revert to being a bit of sand ( silicon ) again and close the recycling loop despite their best efforts.

I know that there are many different H 4 replacement LED's but I do not want to waste more money trying to find the right one for the CB1100.I will Go back to OEM.
I took a motorcycle riding course this weekend and the officers were all from 3 different police departments and from 8 to 25 years on motorcycle and on road , their advise was more lights save life and not louder pipes. between Darla from Clearwater and Chinese knock off from ALiexpress( name is Gold Runway) i am still undecided . Clear water is based in northern California and all the BMW dealers recommned them and good quality and service , ALi Express products come from China ,but the price is like triple with CW.
