Sounds like a good place to look.
This from their website:

"ABOUT US

Welcome to D2D Accessories, we are Australian owned and operated and source high quality lighting and accessories for the motorcycle and automotive markets distributing throughout Australia and New Zealand.

D2D Accessories sources its products from the USA and around the world. We continually look for a high level of craftsmanship."

If the prices are right, it's good to keep the money here and have ready access to products in short wait times and reasonable shipping costs.  International carriage from the USA seems to be run by cartels who have no fear of competition.

If these are plug and play then why doesn't the OEM wiring connect to the directly to the globe?

The ballast is integrated into the bulb housing. If in one piece they may be tricky to fit if you don't have much room to play around with the locating clip. The easiest solution I have come across has a base you locate like the H4 bulb, then the LED unit slots in and you twist to lock in. HID kits usually work this way.

I have just finished testing the new Gen 6 LED bulbs... The build quality of the light is outstanding and the LEDs are covered by a glass lens and the H4 has anti-scatter eyelids. The Gen 6 LEDs are CANbus friendly and fit most headlight housings, being fanless and haveing no LED starter box they are the most compact of the high output LED bulbs

Thanks Martinc.  These look very good, and I like the absence of a fan and separate starter, the simple installation as shown in the video, choice of colour temperature, and no need to cut the rubber boot and compromise the integrity of the waterproofing for the reflector housing.    What bike have you fitted them to, and how good is the low beam horizontal cut-off?

My bike is a KTM 990 SMT so not a lot of room (that was the assembly in the video) and a number of varying makes and models in the group I ride with. I will be posting a video up in the next few days of  a night ride. I will pin it here for you and the group to see.

Also D2D now have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/D2D-Accessories/1496305060662031?view_public_for=1496305060662031

Thanks Pete

I'd be tempted to pay the premium just to get that brilliantly easy installation, compared with the knuckle-scraping usual battle to get the wretched spring clip back over the flange.
And if they do 50,000 hours like other LEDs claim, they'd pay for themselves easily compared with several filament bulbs.

Getting the spring back on is the easy bit....making sure the adapter ring (RH side only) stays on is another thing.

They'd want to last the life of the bike for that cost

with a 2 warranty and 50,000 hours they may well outlast the bike! ;-*

Thanks for posting the information.   I share TJ189's concerns about the low bean cut-off not being particularly obvious.   How have you got on with on-road testing and are you getting drivers flicking their lights at you, thinking you are on high beam.    I'm lining up to buy a set of these if the pattern is right.

Hi Pete

I have just put up a night ride I did tonight... It shows the beam pattern and also the Low Beam cut off. My camera is not the beast for night shots but it shows clearly the cutoff. I do not get any flashing from oncoming drivers, I never have with these LEDs, used to get it with the HIDs.
I have put the video up on the D2D facebook page.

Thanks so much Martin.    Decent replacement H4 headlights seem to be upon us, and we're grateful for your thorough assessment and well documented information about those available from D2D.   Here's a Youtube link to your night riding footage.   https://youtu.be/N7rZ-cVjDIw    The low beam cut-off can be clearly seen from around 2:10.     :thumb   They look pretty good and are a high priority on my list.

Looked at the utube footage . . Low beam looked a tad high to me but can be adjusted down . . . Definite cutoff there though . . The bike looked more like a WeeStrom than a St1300 tho . .

I've just ordered a set of these.   I like the fact that I'm buying in Australia, they are fanless, and there's no need to cut an access through the headlight globe boot when fitting.

My D2D H4 LED headlights have arrived and I've fitted them to my ST1300.

There is a disturbing high spot, above where I would hope the low beam cut-off would be, and unfortunately on the right side of the light field.   In the attached photos of the light pattern, there is a tape measure against the wall, with the tip illustrating the centre of the height of the bike headlights.   The photos show the Low Beam, High Beam and High Beam with my Dually LED spot lights.

I have not yet undertaken a dark o"clock road test.

First I would disconnect one side to see which one is causing the high spot.  Then I would try swapping the LEDs from one side to the other to see if that fixed the problem.
From memory, cars designed for driving on the left left hand have a high spot on low beam to the left to light up sign posts and the opposite for those designed to drive on the right. This usually built in to the lenses. I first noticed it on a VB Commodore.

*edit
A second look at the top photo looks like the errant LED could be in at an angle.
Cheers,
Gary
