    They look good. I've gone for the set on Amazon. Look very similar but from a seller in this country. Hopefully they are just as good.

    I'll get them fitted when I get back home in a few weeks and report back.

    Are these just a straight replacement to your standard bulbs or you need to do alterations to it?

    So are these suitable for high beam also, or do they take a second or so to warm like HID bulbs do?

    Do these actually use 50/60watts of power? Thats pretty high for an LED, or it uses a lot less (for light) and the rest is wasted as heat. Looking to reduce the draw off the battery and wondering it this would help

    That's the output of the bulbs, so how bright they are. Not the power they use.

    Wattage is the power drawn by the bulb not the output. In incandescent bulbs this determines the brightness of the output.
    In led's it's different. The draw for an led to make an equivalent output of a 60 watt bulb is about 8 to 12 watts.
    That's why led's are measured in lumens, a truer indication of brightness.
    Hope that makes sense.

    I just fitted the 60W LED bulbs too (6400LM)
    Bright as you like, but I think I need to adjust my light down a bit now (which is weird) :D

    For fitting, you can turn the bulb part 90deg which releases it from the flat fitting plate used to hold it in the headlight unit. Then put the plate part of it in the housing so you can put the spring clip in place without all the gubbins getting in the way. Then put the bulb in, turn it 90deg and it's snipped into place :)

    I found it easier to fit the silver box in a gap down towards the left of the bulb housing and the plug on the right side of the housing.
    The rear dust cap went back in pretty easy after figuring that out :)

    The only thing I wasn't so keen on with it was the plug didn't seem too snug, so once I figured which way it orientates (the DC is fussy) then I used a wee bit of electrical tape just it to keep it in place while I put it all in the headlight unit.

    Sorry for the necro-post but i'm looking to get a set of the Amazon ones and was wondering where does the 2-pin lead plug in? (not looked at mine before now)?

    Nevermind - being daft as just realised it connects in to where the original bulb used to. Sorry :D

    Here is what i have installed on my RR7, These cheap ones are really bright and easy to fit. All you need is a H7 to H4 convertor. H7 Female and H4 Male. Harness side is 2 wire H4 Socket female and Bulb side is H7 Male. using the same kind of bulbs on my 2011 Accord , 2011 bandit 1250 , 2000 VFR 800 and the RR7 Blade.
