Also, the H1 bulb used by the fazer seems to have a h4 or h7 connector (not sure which) so I had to make a connection rather then plug n play.

I meant.... if it isn't a legal modification (in relation to roadworthiness) then the price tag is a hefty one that can be added to a fixed penalty and points endorsement on ones licence not to mention the potential to affect law abiding road users. Only an idiot would thus implement this mod or... Are we now recommending members ride illegally and potentially affect other road users by means of unroadworthy modifications.. This hasn't even considered insurance company views. And if this is trolling then you arguably  only serve to demonstrate to others Your disregard and maturity on what is a serious issue. I've been on the wrong end of boy racer HID car upgrades and spent a week in the local health authority hotel !. All I was asking us for the name and contact number of the MOT centre that deemed this roadworthy. It's not just about your safety but also the safety of other road users who may find themselves on the wrong side of these wonderful and exciting illuminations.
Of on the other hand VOSA/DVSA  accepted this through their test then all is well. But there is no evidence of this yet and to my mind I feel the danger side of this mod needed to be brought out although referring to individuals implementing this as idiots may on reflection been harsh without providing the rationale,  which I have now done and using my own experience of these ...'great mods'. Please be careful and considerate when modifying and always think safety!
By the way my lights with osram EU and CE approved bulbs are adequate. I have no problem.. nor do other road users . could be better though but we are taking a 14 yr old bike so the performance is upto 2014 standards albeit legal which is more than the emissions output was in 2003 :lol

I just got a sweet spot around all safety issues - I work in a safety engineering - organisation and naturally think of safety, and how our actions can impact on the safety of others - that's all.
Off soap box

But of course you could try it with a spare headlight. After finishing the headlight you can sell your original headlight, so you'll have no extra costs

Yes I would say that for 95% of our customers it's their first time opening a headlight, and I can tell you that a lot of people have succesfully opened and retrofitted headlights which are a lot harder than this headlight. This one really is not so hard.
If you want you can also send us your headlight and we can perform the retrofit for you completely. http://www.retrofitlab.com/retrofit-service.html
