Replaced my blown dipped headlamp bulb with a £3.80 Ring one i had as a spare it's just as good as the original or what i really mean is just as crap!

Saw these H7's which are 'supposed' to be super white and much, much brighter!

Anyone using them asuming they'll fit..................?

All these so called brighter bulbs aren't much better than normal. Best thing to do is get an HID kit in there...

Bosch are OK, it's usually the Osram Nightbreakers or the Philips Extreme Vision which win the comparison tests.

HID is the answer, however.
 
Like what they say I'm afraid.

The problem with the dipped beam on the 1200 is the reflector/beam pattern itself. I tried several bulbs before biting the bullet and going HID; did the trick (and some) :thumb2

+1 for updated bulbs not making much difference. Same wattage bulbs in my VFR worked just fine, in fact better than most cars. HID is the answer.
 
I know HID is the way to go and i've held off for years but now it's time to switch(if you'll pardon the pun):D

Unfamiliar Borders roads were no joke again the other night as it's amazing how you can ride roads where you know every bend and pothole quite quicky and it's only when you ride a road that you don't know or haven't ridden in ages that you seem to need every ounce of light all of a sudden.

Not many streetlight up here either but our farm is usually basked in the unearthly 'orange glow' from Torness Nuclear power station!:cool:

Definately go for Hid, loads of web sites are offering them.

...but make sure that they are H7R burners. The 'R' is important as it signifies having a 'mask' on the burner making it suitable for reflector-type fitments rather than projector-type.

And 4300k temperature gives the best results. I've tried 'em all...

My reflector is burnt/scorched just above the bulb. It doesn't affect anything and it may have been caused by the original halogen bulb but I don't recall seeing it there before I changed to HID - that was 40,000 miles ago though so who knows :nenau
