One thing about the Silver Stars, they don't tend to last as long as normal bulbs. I mentioned that I run these bulbs in my cars, and coincidentally one of my headlights went out last night. :|

That is the reason I went to LED's on my 2013 and 2014.
With H4 bulbs more light often means a shorter life.

Will an LED bulb work with my pulse unit for the headlight?

10 MPH in a turn that you can’t see anything will get your attention.
