This is the LED that I fitted to the original reflector on my F1 which is a direct replacement for the original bulb that you have (P45T).https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/products/compact-direct-fit-p45t-r2-led-hi-lo-beam-conversion-5-15-volts-410-423?_pos=3&_sid=a1490a3e3&_ss=rWhile you're at it I recommend updating the side light bulb as well (BA9S). It's very bright and would almost suffice as a day running light.https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/products/ba9s-bright-white-200-lumen-t4w-233-led-drl-sidelight-upgrade-bulb-llb233-llb989?_pos=3&_sid=db90a2d79&_ss=r Hope this helps
I don't know the answer, But I have a H4 bulb,in a non standard reflector, Fitting Cebie or similar used to be an upgrade Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk
I have just bought the P43T LED for my Cibie. I have gone for 3000k Cool White because it has a more yellowish light to it. Having read up on a few things relating to cars etc pulling out on bikers it has been indicated (not proven) that a headlight with a yellowish tint is more noticeable to car drivers. Bright white tends to get washed out with all the cars nowadays that have their sidelights permanently on.
Just read a test of aftermarket Led headlamps. Best was the Osram Nightbreaker Led Pro. Problem is, it won't fit in our headlights. Moreover such a LED bulb is not streetlegal unless in combination with a reflector made for LED headlamps.

I have the 3000k warm white LED. Hopefully the morons on the roads will see me with a yellow(ish) light if the data is to be believed.
