Thanks for the heads up! 

The kids bike is fine for now but i see a rebuild in its future.

RAF mentioned to ask first about parts from 4into1 in a new member post, so I am asking....is this worth it?  Not looking for anything spectacular, it will not be really ridden at night.  Will probably and eventually replace the bulb with a LED.

... so I am asking....is this worth it?   

Hey Rick...most of us avoid buying the cheap chinese crap [CCC] from them, but it's only twenty bucks.  I'd ask about warranty before buying. 

And BTW - halogen lamps generally draw significantly more power from the elec system, maybe LED is a better choice?

When it comes to the CCC stuff, I hear ya!  Having three Jeeps and a Dodge, I learned my lesson long time ago.  But, that was mostly with electronic stuff.  Yup, I am aware that the halogen bulb will tax the system more than LED.  I was really just looking for the headlight shell to replace the sealed beam so we could do the LED bulb.   Funny thing, it is $20 through that link and $35 on Amazon.

Amazon price includes delivery?

[Really?]

It must, Prime Amazon Prime isn't what it used to be for sure.

Avoid 4-into-1 like the plague, will keep you from buying twice...their stuff is cheap Chinese crap and doesn't hold up if it works.
Headlights you would be better off getting a Valeo (Cibie) E code or Similar from eBay, the optics on a good glass lense make a huge difference. If you get someone's repacked crap like I once got a Hella in the Cibie box and I returned it.it was a discounted lamp but someone pulled a fast one on the return. Valeo bought Cibie several decades ago, Cibie has some of best inexpensive optics available. Crisp cutoff, no scattering and good quality.

I don't cheap out on primary headlights, tires and brakes, nor oil..

[Really?]

Thanks for the info, I will dig further.  Couldn't really find much "Valeo (Cibie) E code" or similar to that search criteria yesterday.  Hella 7" round E code H4 did pop up a lot.  I know to stay away from that particular headlight shell and focus more on the tried and trusted ones, even though they cost a bit more. 

[RAFster122s]

What I bought was Cibie 82440, nla on Amazon unfortunately

[RAFster122s]

Hella aren't awful, just not as good as the cibie
