I just installed ADV Monster's H4 Rev 3 20w/30w in my 2002 KLR factory headlight housing. Doing a few other thing as well, but when I get things buttoned up, and get to do a proper road test, I'll post some photos. It does have a nice, clean cut off at the top of the beam. Light temp/color is 5700K.Mike

Text messages with my youngest brother Daniel right after he was paralyzed:
Me: Hey Dan-O. Just wanted to say howdy & love ya!
Dan-O: Howdy and Love you too. Doing good, feeling good.
Me: Give 'em hell, Little Bro!
Dan-O: Roger that! :)

Having a four-sided array would be good for dispersion, but what about focus? The farther the emmiters get away from the central, pin-point location of the tungsten filament in the original bulb, the worse the pattern gets out on the road. Spacers will move the bulb in and out of the reflector, but nothing will move the arrays closer to the center, where the filament was.
