Let us know how you get on with these i could be interested in trying these.

 

A guy has them at work and he says they are spot on

 

Have you had any success with getting these fitted? I can't get the socket to fit.


Cheers

Depending on your bike you maybe need to cut off the metal tabs to fit it properly.

Too much of a hassle for me i'm afraid, there should be no need to do this amount of bodgery to get it to fit, it's a no from me :lol:

Thanks for the replies, I managed to get it to fit into the H1 side, left hand side of my fazer 1999, the right side fit perfectly using the supplied socket adapter, but the left been a H1 bulb originally needed some persuasion, the socket that came with the new (bulbs) was way to big so not only did I chop off the lugs I had to cut out a couple of slots so it would marry up, if any one would like a picture then il happily remove it to show you how I did it. Lights look great now there working and the difference is huge. Cheers

I left work at 5 and had them fitted by 1740 :lol:


Massive difference although the first few pics don't do them justice!


First two pics are about a metre away from my garage door with old lamps on low then high beam

Yours may well have been H7's on the left! usually a single filament bulb

Stu, do you know if a fazer 1999 left side bulb is h1 or h7? I I keep getting 2 different results when searching

 

This is what I have found


For whatever reason the offside light on the Fazer only comes on when it’s on main beam (although it has a H4 dual filament bulb fitted).

This leaves only the nearside (single filament H1 bulb) for dipped beam


Which if only one comes on at high beam then that will be the H1 and H4 on the opposite side


It should tell you what they are on your old bulbs

No its well and truly attached to the holder, it certainly looks like a H1 tho. Cheers for your help.

If it's an old lamp, is amazing how well they can attach themselves to the holder..WD40 and large flat screwdriver...
