Unhappy ST2 Headlamp upgrade - Help!

For the first time in ages I was out for a long period after dark. I had forgotten just how poor the headlamp is on dipped beam. On unlit roads it was quite scary unless I was crawling along.

I know the charging system on early ST2s is marginal at best, so fitting higher wattage bulbs is probably not the answer. I was considering going the LED route.

I have seen an advert from a company called LEDPERF.com, offering a £41 per bulb replacement. Has anyone tried these or something similar and if so, was it worth it and were there any issues with fitting or the heat produced in use?

Any help/suggestions would be gratefully received.

Phil
