I'm using Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs in my 1999 Fazer after removing a botched headlight mod and so far have had no problems plus I got 2x H1, 2x H4 and 5x Ultra White 5w capless bulbs which were free.
I got them all for £26.13 including postage from Amazon, not bad considering I was previously going to pay over £48.00 for exactly the same bulbs and the Halfords range where £18.99 (H1) and £19.99 (H4) for each bulb. The Osram Nightbreaker Plus is also supposed to be UV friendly so will not damage plastic lenses.
These are the links to the bulbs I purchased from Amazon H1 and H4 and there is a link for Osram itself which in the FAQ section states that the bulb is marked with a "U" where it states:
The uppercase "U" indicates a UV-reduced bulb in accordance with ECE requirements (e.g. for use in plastic headlights). All OSRAM halogen automotive bulbs meet these requirements.
All the sites I have looked at when deciding to take this root for improving lighting stated that it is a direct replacement for the standard halogen bulbs, more light but same wattage and the Xenon bulbs at the same wattage don't run any hotter. Can have a look at this site for some details.
