that won't be enough light for night-time driving, but fine in a DRL situation

their brightest H4 bulb is 40 lummens... that's not headlight brightness... I have a flashlight that puts out 85 lummens... (and a brighter version that does 120)

Probably still have wait for a few years for the technology to catch up.

it's very close actually... said 85 Lumen flashlight is actually LED... (and it's rather bright for a flashlight!) but headlights are still a ways off, though some vehicle manufacturers are toying with them, if you put enough of the ultra-bright ones together you can just about do it... but you pretty much need to design the vehicle around it as it ends up being a lot of LEDs

If your Deli is in need of headlight, the only way to go is HID. I have put it in the my last 2 delicas and you end up with pretty much the same light as a Mercedes. It is an actual Gas filled bulb, with an exciter and balast.
