I found mine to be very bright however it lasted around 3 months. They are very fragile.
I get my kicks out on the floor.

As far as I remember. I gave up buying them after the second blew. Cheaper to get 45/40 Watt bulbs from my local motor factors seeing as I never ride in the dark anyway.

I have converted both mine to an h4 lamp fitting and use an Osram Nightbreaker 55/60 xenon. This needs an led rear lamp to release enough power but the result is well worth it.

Tried a blue one in two scooters and in both they have vibrated out of the holder. NEVER have this problem with st'd Halogen. It's now redundant in the draw.

I've had one in for about 3 years, it's worked brilliantly. It broke the other day, the glass came away from the bayonet fitting but I went out and brought another one staraight away.
I've got a BGM 120 stator fitted and it works brilliantly.
