Because i kept getting the error fault when i fitted the LED's, I put the OEM bulbs back in.
I was able to return the H1 LEDs, the H7 was in my Gen2 Busa, so can now fit it to my Gen1.
The thing i don't like with the OEM bulb is the off yellow colour they give next to the DRL.
I kept away from eBay and AliExpress looking for some non LED bulbs.
Found this website and thought i would take a punt after reading the reviews.
I ended up buying a pair of H7 & H1 5500K Xenon Gas Filled Upgrade Bulbs.
Total cost with postage was £31.65 for packs of 2 bulbs.
The company is HIDS Direct and there bulbs are not silly prices.
I don't ride at night, so was not going to spend nearly £200 on the LED kit you can buy.

Here are the links to the ones i bought.

So the bulbs came yesterday. So today i had time to fit them.
It took me 3 hours to change the bulbs as i don't have small hands.
I had to remove the headlight to change them.

So the bulbs i bought are 5500K which are the highest K that were on the website.
If you can find a 6000K or even a 6500K non LED bulb they would be better.
You can see when the spot lights are on that the new bulbs are still an offish white.

Anyway they look whiter than the OEM bulbs that were fitted.
Here are some photos. When the high beam is on the light were to bright to take a photo head on.
So the photos are taken from just above head on.

I've also put a black egde trim around the screen.
