Both bulbs are pretty much the same as far as light output is concerned, and both good quality bulbs. But it's not the bulbs that are the problem, it's the reflector part inside the headlight housing. To be blunt, it's shite.
So although the replacement bulbs will improve things a little bit (i have them on my bike), and the power isn't an issue, they still aren't close to how they should really reflect on the road with decent bulbs fitted, so don't expect too much.


What a lot of us have done is buy some (10w+) 12v LED spotlights which use very little power consumption in comparison to the standard headlights, but are much brighter at night, and can also be left on as daylight running lights as well.
I bought a waterproof on/off switch for them that's mounted on the handlebars, and the lights i mounted on the side of the radiator. I also bought some heat proof tubing to protect the wires from the radiator heat.

Thanks a lot for the reply. But are they even legal in the EU countries? and one more thing...should they run in addition to the normal low and high beam lights, or they should work only separately, maybe only with the position light ofc?

Zero legal issues. Aim them low to light the road up,rather than blind people.
Passed many Mot's, in fact my examiner asked where to buy them, he liked them.

Can you post few photos how you have installed them, i cant get an idea how they might be attached to the radiator, and also the tubing. Thanks a lot again
