To date i have had
Std bulbs,
Halfords brillance
Ring Ultra xenon (60%)
Osram Silverstars
Philips X-Treme

To be honest, ANY bulb is better than the Std. There is VERY LITTLE difference between all the uprated.

I swapped out the silverstars for the xtreme ones and to be honest stuggled to see the differnence. They are slightly better in the car (Again from silver stars) and thats where they are staying. I put the silvers back in the bike.

The problem is the light unit on the SV. Its cheap and legal. The curveys have a bad lens design, and the curveys a bad reflector design, so what ever you put in there isnt going to help much and thats a fact.

Save you money and just buy either of the 2 you have listed. Any of the +50% bulbs will be fine.

+1.

Even the crap 2 quid pattern bulb I had to put in mine while I look for decent ones is miles better than the stock ones.

thanx............ got the silverstars comming just had a quick peep & it looks like you need hands like a 6 year old to change them?

On my Speed Triple, I've got one standard Triumph bulb and one Halfords Super Brilliance Xenon (+50%). There's absolutely no difference between the two. Either Triumph fit decent bulbs or the Halfords aren't as great as they claim.

That or you'll have to pull the side fairings off...

is it possible to get to them then without taking the fairing off, I havent even looked but I was about to order some more for my car so could get some for the bike aswell.

plus I have small hands

Yes, it is possible, but nothing I'd call easy... someone will be along shortly to remind me I'm a mechanical numpty, though.
