HELLA H4 130/90W High Wattage Bulb, 12V

Decent bulb, no issues

Tacoma headlights are notoriously. Not that bright. Adding these bulbs to them really brighten them up. Both low beam and high beam. My high beam distance has just about doubled and is quite bright. It illuminates about or 900 feet down the road. Granted, they're not super bright at that distance, but compared to the stock bulbs the came with my headlamps the difference is night and day. Pun intended. 🙂

They haven't burned out yet. They should last for a decade. Not cheap knockoffs

I bought the H4 130/90 watt bulbs and put them in 7” Hella E-code housings for my Jeep TJ. This is the way to go folks. Amazing results. I was running Hella 60/55 in polycarbonate KC housings. I also tried Morimoto 2stroke 2.0 LEDs in the KC housings. The light pattern was just terrible. The Hella e-code/130-90watt set up is the best lighting you can get for the TJ. I installed the ARB heavy duty headlight wiring harness as well. Works great couldn’t be happier. Does not blind oncoming traffic if you aim them properly. I haven’t been “flashed” once and I have 6” lift and 35” tires

I had high hopes when i bought 5 of these last year. I have used Philips 130/100 and 100/90 higher wattage bulbs before i ordered these. The reason why i went for 130/90 Hellas are solely because of the wide gap in high and low wattage ratings. I wanted low beam performance of only 90watts (since low beam is what i use mostly) and high beam performance of 130W as and when required.With Philips 100/90 the high beam was only 100W and with Philips 130/100 the low beam was a scorching 100W. I was scared of using the 100W low beam in 130/100 Philips fearing it would burn my plastic headlamp assy and high beam could've been better in 100/90 philips - or so i thought. So what i needed was a 130/90 bulb. Searched far and wide for a Philips 130/90 but i couldn't find one and thats when i landed on Hella 130/90. Perfect combination, thats what i thought.But unfortunately the Hella disappointed. It was a major disappointment. The low beam was OK, but the high beam was a disappointment compared to my Philips 100/90. The Hella burn slightly more yellowish which is fine, but the intensity is not even as good as the Philips 100/90 bulbs. Compared to Philips 100/90 the Hella 130/90 was a downgrade in illumination for me. And to Philips 130/100 the Hella 130/90 is not even a competition.Notes:* Hella 130/90 has a bigger glass capsule compared to both Philips 100/90 and 130/100.* Hella 130/90 i bought are made in India.* The beam laid down on the road is better with both Philips.* The high beam of the Philips bulbs reach out farther and they feel brighter.* The Philips Xtreme Vision +100 55/60 puts out as much light as these Hellas. I have a pair of them too.* Relay and thicker wiring is a must to use higher wattage bulbs. Don't run these on stock wiring.* 130/100 is damaging to plastic reflectors (plastic lenses? i know not). The plastic reflector in my car's headlight assy has developed a kind of crackling on the silver surface just above the low beam focusing area. This i observed after using Philips 130/100.If you are looking for a higher wattage bulbs try to seek out Philips 100/90 or 130/100 both of these bulbs outperform the Hella mentioned in this review.

bought this bulb for a motorcycle probably 12yrs ago. ive since sold the bike but i never forgot that headlight. holy moly that was one hell of a high beam. low beam was so good as well that i had to adjust the headlight down some. id say that was one sweet bulb if im still so fond of it this many yrs later.

These bulbs are great and allow me to see a lot more than stock bulbs. I used these to replace LEDs I had, which were very bright, but didn’t shine as far and would blind oncoming traffic, not to mention didn’t allow me to use my brights.I highly recommend these if your wiring can handle the extra wattage. However, one downside is the shorter life. I installed a pair and one side went out (brights still worked) after 3 months (4,300 miles driven). Even with the short life, i prefer these overall as they are much brighter and cheaper than standard wattage bulbs.Hopefully my 2nd pair will last longer than 3 months.

Been running these for 20 years in my Valkyries. Yeah you need to upgrade the wiring with relays and the socket - ceramic. After doing that - this bulb lights up the road clearly for a measured half mile. You need an adequate alternator. These have been lasting typically 3-4 years for me and I ride a LOT. (Over a quarter million miles in 20 years) Haven't compared directly with the new "Daymaker" LED fixtures but I'm confident it's quite a bit more light, albeit not as blue. Not suitable for some bikes like Harleys unless you have the "High Output Charging System" which makes 30% more power (54amps) than stock charging system (per HD). But that system has lots of negative reviews (so what else is new). You would do better with the LED lights.
