Thanks for that Chris,
I notice that they do not have a fan (on other reviews that I have read, internal heat is a problem for LED's and hence the need for the fan) as most other I have seen do and as such are a much lower profile.
How long have you had them fitted?

 

2 days ago I mounted them and there is a ton of salt and snow on the road at the moment (for the first time in a decade or so)
So I have no clue how they perform thermal wise.
I don't even know if it is reliable, however it is not that expensive and I just wanted to try it.
If you want real quality, buy the Phillips ones. These are about a €100,- a piece and have the same LED setup. But I guarantee that these LED's will be very impressive.
But the downside is that I don't see a way to mount these on my bike because of the rubber that seals the headlight.

Update: I have driven around for a couple of hours and the cheap LED still works.
If requested I will keep anyone posted during the summer....

 

That would be great Chris, thanks. I presume these were a direct replacement as they do not have the fan unit attached so the rubber seals fitted fine?

 

yes these were a 1:1 fitment and I have the slight feeling that the engine idles better.
I don't think they are 25W but even less. It would make sense since there is so little cooling.
however I will do a 'monthly report' and please remind me when I forget.
I placed them at 50.4Mm (Mega meters since k km is an engineering sin)

 

Good to hear and thanks, I will have to give a similar set a go.

 

Update on the LED I mentioned before (the ceap one): no update. Still works.
I also did some measurements on the bike with an oscilloscope.
Let me tell: very interesting.
A capacitor on the feed line of the injectors and ignition could be very valuable....

 

Go on Chris I will bite....
Why might the capacitor be very valuable?

I took the leap inspired by yourself and went for some 'cheap' H7 LED's

Like yourself they seem to work, have been in a couple of weeks, not tried at night yet, I suspect that they might not be very good but do look quite bright on the bike.

 

So, in replay to AL1040,
Not to discourage you but you definitely bought the wrong bulbs.
I advice to you to look on youtube for: headlight revolution. They have very extensive research about replacing the halogen bulbs for LED's.

On the capacitor. I took an oscilloscope and connected it on several points (feedlines) on the bike because my bike runs kind of crappy stationary.
I accidently discovered that replacing the H7 55W with an 25W LED had a major improvement on the stationary run of the bike.
Therefore I measured the feed line before the 20A fuse and after the 20A fuse which gave quite a difference in electrical noise.
A 10.000 muF reduced the electrical noise from 3V to less than 0,1V on the feed line of the ignition and the injectors. The same capacitor before the fuse did absolutely nothing.
This leads me to conclude that the fuse is quite the resistor and the wiring is the absolute minimal to make it function properly.
I want to implement the capacitor, but I'm not sure how to do it elegant.
