I replaced the low beam, high beam, tail/brake, turn signals with LEDs. Stock filament bulbs in headlight were terrible. Overdriven the illumination beam at 50 mph. I put LED H7 bulbs in each the low and high beam and they make a huge difference to say the least. Much brighter with a superior beam pattern which illuminates everything. I used the below in the 3600lm model since the base was smaller which allowed the rubber bulb boot to slide on without modifications.

I prefer the models with the braided heatsink as I have had the Pathfinder model from SoCalmotorgear.com on my Honda F6B which are seen below and performed well but not as good as the ShowChrome.

Lastly, you have to replace the turn signal relay below the left side cover with a LED relay so they will blink normal instead of fast.
There is a very distinct cutoff just like stock. The brighter illumination beam is wider and further while being pure white instead of yellowish. I also replaced the 4 headlamps in my Honda F6B which I owned before the Bandit 1250 with the same benefit. I find that others that have had beam issues either do not have the bulb seated correctly or have the bulb installed slightly twisted with the LEDs not perpendicular. On my F6B, I adjusted the twist which made a huge difference in beam pattern. The bulbs originally came just a tad off from perpendicular which washed the pattern into a smear. The SoCal H7s had a small hex in the collar that held the bulb into the housing that you could loosen and twist to adjust. I would never go back to filament bulbs after the positive experiences I had with the F6B and Bandit LEDs. Brighter filament bulbs run hot and have a shorter life than standard filament bulbs. By the way, Motorcyle bulbs are different than auto bulbs. Motorcyle bulbs are heavy duty with thicker filaments and connections to deal with vibration. Look at the back of Sylvania packages at life expectancy which can be as low as 80 hrs on their brightest bulbs. That works out to less than a year if riding 2 hours on the weekends. The below picture is not mine but taken from the website I got my H7 LEDs for my F6B. I kid you not, that is exactly the difference. I also replaced them years ago in my wife’s old van which you can see there is no beam pattern problem.
