Hello @-riders

Lorenzo, you may face an other problem to replace your bilux 35/35 with H4
bulbs: the sockets and the housing of the bulbs in the reflectors are not
the same.

My RD04 had bilux and I replaced the whole optic with H4 lamps. The
difference is enormous !

I've never heard of problems of overheating. The black spots on the
reflector may be caused by humidity ? The bulbs becoming darker is due to
the age of the lamp. These are metalic deposits inside the lamp. H4 lamps
contains iodine, which allow them to last much longer than regular lamps,
even if they are more powerfull.

Have fun,
Pierre
