Hi folks. Just wondering if anyone has tried these?

They should work in the XT right? Pretty sure our 'original' bulbs are H7?
Any opinions gratefully received.

Yes, H7 is the correct ones.
Just be aware, if you replace them with the "Extra Bright" ones, they will not last very long.
You sacrifice longevity for performance with those bulbs.

It’s a good idea to buy at least two sets so that you’ve got spares under the seat.

Thank you Skunk works.
Do you think the ones I posted would be rated as some that won't last very long?
Yes,
The ones you referenced claim "150% Brighter"
We have the same ones here in the States under the Sylvania brand. Same Bulbs, same Company.

Those will be brighter, but won't last as long.

A few years ago I was in Utah, and had one of my Headlight bulbs burn out.
I replaced them both with standard automotive ones that I bought at Napa. Not the "brighter" than original ones.
Still working fine, and haven't burned out yet.

A few months back, I bought some Philips Crystal vision bulbs. They claim to be motorcycle specific, so can withstand vibration better than car bulbs. They work well, to the extent that I don't feel the need for auxiliary lights. I have been on many dirt/gravel road and the bulbs are good.
