I had a bi-xenon HID in my 1000 for 3 years and was fine until the solenoid failed.
Passed 3 MOT's like that and never got flashed until the solenoid failed and the bulb moved out of the focal point.
Now has an LED that is as good or better than the HID.
It does have a fresnel lens like many older bikes but only has the single headlight.

My 1400 has way better headlights even with OEM bulbs.
I have fitted Osram extra bright bulbs but can see no reason to go any brighter.

For high beam however I have LED spots installed on both bikes and those  :censored: are BRIGHT!
When I flash, people notice.  :banana: :popcorn:

"Fresnel" that's the word I was looking for  :clap:

Yup when it comes to positioning they're more forgiving than modern reflector designs

Hmm wonder why they stripped them out of the headlight rather than selling as a complete assembly
