This is coming up as a halogen bulb on my phone is that right?
Current bulb is HS1 35w/35w. I’m assuming I’d want an led with the same wattage but would have to be H4 from what I’ve read.
Is that going to work? I’ve just got the one headlight bulb on my scoot so will the eBay ones do hi and low beam? There are some for a fiver that don’t convince me and some for £15-20 that I’m worried might draw too much power.
The bike last night was loads better, I could see better and it didn’t hurt that I was going much slower, I might end up cycling whenever the weather is shitty. ____________________ Yamaha Vity 125 (gone) Kawasaki ER6N(dead) 2022 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 (nicked) 2003 DL1000 V Strom |

Update-
I fitted one of these today - H4 Led Motorcycle Headlight Bulb... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07WGZVDBL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It was a revelation coming across the unlit part of my commute home, the beam pattern was spot on with a really defined cut off at around bonnet level of oncoming cars and well below the rear window line.
We’ll have to see how it goes longevity wise, it’s a sturdy thing though so fingers crossed. Installation was a simple swap, I’ve not bothered modding the current because I really don’t want to put too much effort into my scooter because it’s crap. That said, I see no desperate reason to get shot of it now until I get my full licence.
Now the only issue I have is keeping my visor anything resembling clear when it’s light rain, Misty or road spray, any tips? ____________________ Yamaha Vity 125 (gone) Kawasaki ER6N(dead) 2022 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 (nicked) 2003 DL1000 V Strom |

I've made a little side by side video to show the difference between
the original bulb and the LED from amazon, its only on a go pro so it's darker than real life but it really shows the difference.

If anyone is interested.
It's certainly made me more comfortable riding at night and I'm not concerned that motorbike headlights aren't all crap.
