I am interested also.  My HID upgrade to the ST11 has been playing up.  The guy I brought them of 6 years ago, Arco Imports or Pro Vision is recommending some 35 watt LED lights at around $230.00.  With the photo of the light spread when switching from low to high (or the other way) do you lose or have a black spot that neither light covers?

I have LED spotties that fill in any holes in the Hi Beam pattern, but I will do a night run when it's not freezing cold, and test just the LED H4's on high and low beam on a dark country road.  I'd be keen to hear Taffmak's assessment of the same globes.

Well they've made it to the next service which is already an improvement over the last globes!
Used them daily in the dark and honestly don't have a problem with them  - no missing coverage on full beam -  I just revisited the pics and one of the shots looks like there is a big shadow in it but that is because  the bike was pointed  over a dip!
They're fine on the road but I'm not game to sit in the road for photos :)
