I tried the search and drew a blank. Who makes the best/brightest H4 LED headlight bulbs on the market?

It would help if you actually read my question. I'm looking for the H4 bulbs, not headlights.

It begs the question why? You'll get better lighting with drop-in LED headlights. You'll probably also get better lighting with the 100/80 H4 bulbs although not as bright nor as good lighting as the bright LED drop-in headlights. Why are you stuck on the combination of lenses and bulbs that really weren't made for each other?

| I have tried a few H4 LED bulbs and they all had horrible light patterns making them a hazard to others. |

It's my understanding that the defuser type lenses used for incandescent bulbs don't play well with other types of light sources. Nearly all LED lights have clear lenses and often multiple light emitters which I assume is to focus the beams in different zones ahead of the vehicle.
