The one i bought uses phillips chips, it is the newer type heatsink one without a fan, the connectors are proper quality ones.
I bought this for my firestorm to replace the gay rainbow effect bulb the previous owner had fitted, the firestorms headlight was far far superior to the fazer one, when i sold the storm after 1 month due to the ridiculous MPG i took out the bulb.
Only when i realised the fazer has two different types of bulb (which is a completely dumb idea) i swapped it out into the full beam of the fazer but it is only using half of the chips unless i make a wiring mod so it really does make the most of the lumiled bulb.
For the time being its constantly been ridden using full beam and it shits all over the halogen.I'm just gutted the new H1 cree chips led bulb wont fit, did a test halogen vs led out of the headlight and the led bulb is far superior and far brighter i just cannot get it in
this is due the fact the H1 bulb holder has 2 locating lugs that fit into the lugs on the back of the headlight, so if i cut it away (at the headlight end) the bulb holder will have nothing to 'locate' into and it will not be tight, i dare say the spring clip will hold it in place but cannot take the risk of it rattling around in the headlight.
So i'm thinking of doing away with the fairing altogether and buying a LED headlight unit, but dont want to buy it without knowing whats involved to replace a wiring setup designed for 2 lamps into just one lamp.
if its a straightfoward cut and replace a connector then i'll lose the fairing and get a better headlight and a headlight fairing .
need to think now
