I'm using H7 Night Eye led's at the moment, nice bright light during the day, but crap at night, looking to change for something brighter.

My experience of LEDs was poor and I reverted to halogen. Relay makes a great difference.

The bike ones are twice price of car ones ! See osram do a ultralife?

Opnions folks..

Just my experience , but there is a difference in quality . Replace a number of H7 bulbs on cars and find them returning with blown bulbs with in 12 months . Now prefer to fit the more expensive ones .
Just check your regulator isn't over charging and blowing bulbs .

The H7 in the headlamp of my 800GS yesterday afternoon. Not the first time by any means.
So, in to the Pannier for the spare that we bought a few months ago in Victoria, Vancouver Island.......Bugger! It’s an H4.
My fault for not checking when it was handed to me I suppose.

We bought another one yesterday evening, just a generic one I think. Sylvian or something.
I’ll fit it later today.
