- The Autofy NightHawk is a 40W H4 LED headlight bulb for bikes and scooters, priced at Rs 1,199.
- It runs 40W/20W hi-lo with 6000/4500 lumens in 6500K daylight white, a big step up over a stock halogen.
- Compatibility comes first: it fits H4 LED two-wheelers ONLY (not cars), and Honda owners should check with a mechanic.
- Best for riders on stock halogen who do regular night or early-morning riding and want to see and be seen.
The Autofy NightHawk is a Rs 1,199 40W H4 LED headlight bulb built to replace the dim yellow halogen your bike or scooter left the showroom with. It is bright, crisp white and plug and play, but there is one compatibility catch you must clear before you buy, so here is our honest review.
What is the Autofy NightHawk H4 LED headlight?
The NightHawk is a single H4 LED bulb that drops into the standard headlight housing found on most Indian bikes and scooters. It runs 40W on high beam and 20W on low beam, throwing 6000 lumens up top and 4500 lumens on the dip, all in a clean 6500K white rather than the tired yellow of a stock halogen. In plain terms, you see more of the road, further ahead, and oncoming traffic sees you sooner too.
The single most important thing to settle first is the fitting. This is an H4 bulb for two-wheelers only, so it suits bikes and scooters that use an H4 LED connector. It is not a car headlight. If you drive a car and want the same white-light upgrade, the Falcon 240W car LED headlight is the model built for that job instead. We cover the full compatibility note plainly further down, because it matters more than any brightness number.
Brightness, cooling and build quality
Brightness is the reason anyone swaps a halogen, and the NightHawk delivers a genuine jump. The 6000 lumen high beam and 4500 lumen low beam are several times what a typical 35W H4 halogen manages, and the 6500K colour temperature reads as daylight white, which is far easier on the eyes on a dark highway than warm yellow. Whiter light also picks out lane markings, potholes and reflective boards more clearly.
LEDs run hot, and heat is what kills cheap bulbs early, so cooling is not a detail to skip. The NightHawk uses an 8000 RPM cooling fan paired with a pure copper and aluminium body to pull heat away from the diodes. Autofy rates the build for 30,000 service hours, which for a daily commuter is years of night riding rather than the few months a bargain bulb often lasts.
- 40W high / 20W low beam, with 6000 and 4500 lumens respectively for a real step up over stock halogen.
- 6500K white light, a clean daylight tone that improves clarity and reduces night eye strain.
- 8000 RPM cooling fan, active cooling so the LED holds brightness and lasts longer.
- Pure copper and aluminium build, rated for 30,000 service hours.
- Plug and play, it uses the H4 connector so most riders can fit it without any rewiring or extra tools.
- Made in India, 24+6 months warranty, so there is real cover behind it.
Fitment for most bikes is genuinely plug and play. You unclip the halogen, seat the NightHawk in the same holder, connect the H4 plug and you are done, no cutting or splicing. The compact fan housing sits behind the reflector on the majority of two-wheelers, though on a few tightly packed headlamp bowls you should check clearance before buttoning things up.
NightHawk LED vs your stock halogen
Numbers make the upgrade easy to picture. Here is how the NightHawk lines up against the standard H4 halogen bulb most bikes ship with, on the specs riders actually ask about.

The one thing to check before you buy
Here is the honest limitation, stated plainly: It fits bikes and scooters with an H4 LED connector ONLY (not cars); Honda bike owners should check with a mechanic before fitting. So before you order, confirm your two-wheeler runs an H4 headlight bulb, and do not buy this expecting it to fit a car. Honda bike owners in particular should have a mechanic confirm compatibility with the model's headlight circuit first, since a few Honda setups can be fussy with LED bulbs. Clear that one check and the rest is easy.
Who should buy it
The NightHawk is for the rider on a stock halogen who does a fair amount of night or early-morning riding and is tired of squinting into a wall of yellow. Commuters on unlit roads, highway riders and anyone who values being seen will feel the difference immediately. If you barely ride after dark, the upgrade is nice to have rather than essential.

A brighter beam pairs well with the rest of a night-ready riding kit. Add a pair of FANTOM gloves (red) for knuckle protection and grip, keep a Sonic auto-cut tyre inflator under the seat for pressure top-ups on the road, and if you also run a car in the family, a Storm 2 car vacuum and a SPAZE boot organizer round out the garage. A NECTOR hanging car perfume is a small touch that keeps the cabin fresh too.
