I can't help but feel, however, that what I've actually purchased is a 600 unit that was removed from a 400 (seller probably unaware).
I have just cked in the download section and can confirm the bulbs should both be 36Y-84714-40 which is a really odd bulb.
Yamaha made almost the perfect bike with the FZS600 they just totally screwed up the head light

I've just purchased what was advertised as a Yamaha Fazer 400 headlight unit as I'm aware they can be modified to fit the 600 (which I own) and have better lenses than the 600.

and they decided to re-list with the exact same title despite it being for a FZS 600. Sure it will fit a Fazer 400 but there's a difference between the two units (as we know).For now I'm running with both headlights wired in via a simple wire I got pre-made from eBay, but had read that the Fazer 400 O.E.M headlight unit (that I've since obtained pictures of) offered better reflectors and spread (but are super rare).

The best way is to fit up rated bulbs something like Phillps extreme or race
next level is LEDs in both or HID in the low beam, both of which aren't strictly road legal and could well fail an MOT, depends on the tester, police tend not to bother providing they're adjusted correctly.
(meaning it would run on one orsam or phillips bulb on low beam) be enough for better vision in the dark? I don't have a problem with the high beam power, just how much of the road you can't see with the headlights running the way they were designed on low beam --I wouldn't really advance beyond a bulb upgrade to the above mentioned ones (phillips, orsam or Halfords) at this point because funds.
