I found some LED bulbs for the JLUR under the tree. They are S-V.4 3600 lumen. So, I installed them this afternoon an took it out in an industrial area to find a good wall to adjust them on. I got them where I wanted and took it for a drive in the hilly area near my house. Big improvement over the halogens. No one flashed me. I stopped on my street and got out and walked about 100 feet in front of it and l slowly squatted down while looking into the lights. I could clearly see where the cutoff line was and there was no glare above it.

The linked video has the S-V.4 at the 4:22 time.

I wasn't aware there was a v4x. Possibly another brand?

I bought mine from The Retrofit Source. It appears the brand is Headlight Revolution, based on the box.

They are more than bright enough. However, after driving a couple nights with them, I've decided to go with something different. They are just too purple (6000k or more) for me. My old eyes strain at least as much as the weak output OEM halogens from the color. I've decided to try the new Morimoto 2 Stroke 3.0, which is a much more white color.

Oh I was thinking S-V.4 was supernova V.4? http://www.supernovaleds.com/index.php/h13-v4-x.html?fitment=773987

Anyway, are you going to sel lthe S-V.4? If so , PM me.

Brandon,
I don't know anything about the Oracle bulbs. But, my experience so far with the S-V.4 bulbs is that they are as bright as I would go. They are so bright that I'm very conscious of the adjustment height and have them fairly conservatively low. They also have a sharp cutoff and a nice wide beam. ~1 1/2 years on them now.

I may get some OEM LED housings, although I know they are not as bright, but the OEM is a warmer color and not as hard on my vision at night. All these Chinese sourced lights tend to be 6000-6500K and it strains my eyes on long night drives. But most young guys think it's cool. I like around 5000K. But, with all the shortages, OEM LEDs are rare as hen's teeth.

How do your bulbs compare to the S-V.4s? In terms of brightness?
Hey Brandon,
Doing a quick comparison here, if you are looking at our 4000+ lumen bulbs then our rating for lumens is higher and we have eliminated the use of the external fan. This prevents another failure point on the product itself. With our built in heatsink, heat dissipation is key to the cooling of the bulb. The new high-output LED Headlight bulbs create a 4,000+ Lm blanket of light for the driver to increase safety and nighttime visibility. Philips Luxeon ZES chips allow for the increased Lumen output while still drawing less than half the power of the factory headlight bulb. These smaller chips also have excellent heat dissipation characteristics, making them extremely reliable even in harsh environments.

Any other questions or clarity please let me know!
