Yes, I mean no, I mean yes, that led rear bulb is ok just check the length will fit with your reflector fitted. The H4 Nightbreaker is fine with the rear led as long as you've made the necessary alterations to your bulb holder and aren't powering much else in accessories. LED festoons are available
here amongst
others

Yes and no. I've fitted a similar led bulb from Sparkright Technologies, been on two years no probs and had that fitted with an H4 55/60 watt bulb again no probs to a previous scoot with Indian Electronics. Am currently in prosess of fitting H4 bulb to current machine (GP200) with standard electronics
Any use

Had lots of bulb blowing front and rear on my GP until I fitted the sparkrite set up and got my own LED for the rear. Never had a problem since. My rear led is one that the filaments face one way so don't illuminate the number plate but as it's never failed an mot like that I see it as a plus point.

As you know Gp rear lenses don't have the clear plastic insert to illuminate the rear number plate so same here, but as I had it and it does make the rear lense brighter, I thought......might as well use it.
