Philips have launched a bunch of LED bulbs they think are good enough to replace a filament H7...
but as clearly stated in the first post it is still completely illegal to swap a H7 halogen, for any non filament LED of any description or the flare up fake HID xenon fireballs
and these Philips flagship UltinonPro9000 HL LED's are really silly money https://www.philips.co.uk/c-e/au/car-lights/headlights/ultinon-pro9000-led.html
FYI run a non H7 halogen and you have NO insurance either

At £135 I’d rather stick the new LED unit in from China and have everything LED I think

Horse shit, if you do ANY modifications and don't declare them to your insurer they MAY invalidate your policy but have a legal obligation to cover any 3rd party liability which is all that is required to comply with the Road Traffic Act.
Have you seen post #165?
wow, no I hadn't,
why did they allow the change? - surely bikes with high up light, a short wheels base and bouncing about is the last ones you'd ever allow to do it...Does modifying affect insurance?
Even the slightest change to your vehicle will have an impact on the insurance cost. Your insurance provider may think that increasing your vehicle’s performance can mean a higher risk of accidents. Changing the appearance of your vehicle to make head turns can also attract thieves, which could mean there’s a higher risk of your vehicle getting stolen. In any case, a higher risk usually translates into a higher premium charged by insurance providers.
Once you’ve decided to get modifications, you need to inform your vehicle insurer about the changes, no matter how small they are.
It might pinch to pay a higher premium because of the modifications, but it’s necessary as your insurance coverage can become invalid if you fail to inform them. If you need to make a claim or if someone files a claim against you and you haven’t informed the provider, you may not be eligible for compensation.

With regard to these lights, I'm gathering the horse shoe light plugs into the side light bulb. When the bike starts it has the dip beam on by default so is the horseshoe and dip on at the same time? Does the dip go out when main is on or do all three lightb units come on? Sorry for the questions!!
