Apparently there's a gizmo for adapting the rest of the World H4's to Honda H4's.
I've been bending the tabs back so get them in. Currently using Hella plus 90% but I suspect not having a perfect fit is causing the damage. They are excellant bulbs by the way but are only lasting 8 to 10,000k

My bike has the adaptor rings fitted - on previous Hondas I used to cut the bottom two tabs off, or bend them over a thin nail. Never had any problems with doing that, but the rings are more betterer.

Put an H4 HID in it, and never replace a bulb again.

Yup, those are the beasts. As it says in the ad, you clip off the lower tabs, slip these on, and they're 'good to go'.
