I would love to see a good LED replacement for halogen bulbs, but my experience so far has been okay on my Avalanche, to really bad on other applications. Let's see what feedback is provided when someone here tries them in an H4 or H1 headlight.
The halogen bulb filament is located at the focal point of the parabolic reflector, regardless of housing / reflector depth. Why would the LED retrofit work better with a deeper reflecor?

If anything a deeper headlight bucket would be better for us. More room for the LED retrofit heat sink.
