{"product_id":"hella-h4-halogen-bulb-60-55w-12v-3600k-single","title":"Hella H4 Halogen Bulb 60\/55W 12V 3600K | Single","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eNeed to replace a dim or burned-out headlight bulb? The Hella H4 is a 60\/55-watt, 12-volt halogen bulb with a clean 3600K white beam and a standard P43T base, so it drops straight into any H4 housing. It's a dual-filament bulb, meaning one bulb runs both your high and low beam. Street legal, and sold as a single.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hella H4 halogen bulb is a straight replacement for a burned-out or faded headlight bulb, and it's one of the most common bulb fitments on the road and the water. It runs 60 watts on high beam and 55 watts on low, pulls from a standard 12-volt system, and drops into any H4 housing with a P43T base. No adapters, no wiring changes. Pull the old one, seat the new one, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the H4 so handy is that it's a dual-filament bulb. One bulb, two beams. The high and low beam filaments both live inside the same glass envelope, so a single H4 handles everything your headlight reflector asks of it. That's why you'll find H4 in everything from motorcycles and classic cars to work trucks, and in marine spotlights and searchlights that run off the same housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight color lands at 3600K, which is a clean, slightly warm white. It's bright enough to light up the road without the harsh blue tint that makes your eyes work overtime on a long night drive. Hella rates this one at 1815 lumens on high beam and 1100 on low, and it carries the +50 designation, which means it's built to put more usable light down the road than a plain replacement bulb. You get the reach without stepping up to an off-road-only wattage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd that last part matters. This is a standard 60\/55-watt bulb, so it's street legal. The high-wattage bulbs in the Hella lineup, the 80- and 100-watt units, are for off-road and competition use only because they run hotter and brighter than road rules allow. If your rig lives on public roads, the 60\/55W is the one you want. If you're building a trail truck or a dedicated off-road light, look at the higher-wattage Hella options instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the H4 is such a universal fitment, it's worth a quick word on how to know it's the right bulb for you. Pull your current bulb and look at the base. An H4 has three flat metal tabs arranged around a round connector, and the glass sits up on a short stem. If that's what you're looking at, this bulb fits. The H4 standard has been around for decades and shows up on a huge range of vehicles and equipment, which is part of why it's so easy to find a replacement when you need one in a hurry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the water, H4 housings turn up in older spreader lights, deck-mounted searchlights, and hand-held spotlights that run off the boat's 12-volt system. The same rules apply there. Match the wattage, keep your fingers off the glass, and you'll get bright, reliable light when you're docking after dark or picking out a channel marker. Hella Marine has spent decades building lighting for salt and spray, and that same attention to materials carries through to the bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne install tip we tell everybody. Don't touch the glass with your bare fingers. The oil from your skin creates a hot spot on the quartz envelope, and that hot spot shortens the bulb's life or cracks the glass once it heats up. Handle the new bulb by its metal base, and if you do brush the glass by accident, wipe it down with a little rubbing alcohol before you power it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for a single bulb. If one headlight has burned out, the other side usually isn't far behind, and a fresh bulb next to an aged one will look mismatched in color and brightness. So we'd suggest grabbing two and replacing them as a pair. It's cheap insurance against getting pulled over for a dim headlight, and it keeps both sides matched. Hella Marine builds these to a fit-and-forget standard, so once they're in, you can mostly forget about them until the next routine check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH4 bulb with a P43T base drops straight into any H4 headlight housing, no adapters or wiring changes needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-filament design runs both your high beam and low beam from a single bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60 watts on high beam and 55 watts on low, the standard street-legal wattage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-volt operation matches standard automotive and marine electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3600K color temperature gives a clean white light without a harsh blue tint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated at 1815 lumens on high beam and 1100 lumens on low for strong down-road reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarries the +50 designation for more usable light than a plain replacement bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHella Marine fit-and-forget build quality for long, reliable service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single bulb for a quick one-for-one replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Hella Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does H4 mean on a headlight bulb?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eH4 is a bulb standard with a P43T base and two filaments inside one glass envelope.
