Yeah the proper bulb is an odd shape. H4 do not fit. You can use h4 bulbs but you need to cut the two locating lugs off.

Alternatively cough up £20 per bulb for stock kawasaki units.

you also need to either grind off the internal "tab" thats part of the actual headlight assembly, or cut a wedge into the H4 bulb.

thay are nice and white, but they are no brighter than the original bulbs, maybe even a tad dimmer IMO.

if you want brighter you need to go for HID bulbs but at ~£150 for the pair they are not cheap...
