As long as the circuit resistance is equal to the 2 bulbs you ve taken out it should be fine , just watch out cause the resistor  could get quite warm

thats how it came from the manufacture, its designed to go under motorcycle fairing so assume they wrapped it in insulation for that reason! plus the ones from Kufatec come heat shrinked  :P

Well, I got the ones from eBay in the post today (gtiross's link) and I'm very please with them!

Here's the pics.

Half way through


All done


As you can see they are very bright but I like them!



Can't complain for the £23 I paid for them to come next day!
