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

No I'm at work and only got delivery today!

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

Above pictures with led lights in, looks way brighter on person, il get another when its dark

I left work at 5 and had them fitted by 1740

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

These are the new LED's on low then high beam

And obviously outside on low then high with the new LED's!

I wish I had taken some before and afters outside too

The difference is huge!

Tidy work, my issue was the left hand side light was a different bulb to the right. Seem good bulbs tho and hopefully they are fine for an MOT

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

Nothing on it at all unfortunately, this is the bulb tho

Does that bulb pull out the holder?

Looks like a H1

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

Maybe just convert it to have twin lights

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