Just a tip! Look for H8/H11/H16 Philips X-treme Ultinon LED bulb. Those does not have a fan that can suffer from rain and dust. Those LED bulbs was definitely the best out there 2 years ago (not sure about the situation today) when I did a research for LED bulbs to my RSV4. Used those 2 years on my RSV4 without an issue, bright and excellent quality.

The Cyclops LED's are very small, I doubt there would be any issue fitting them into the Panigale housing. Fit the Hyper housing without much trouble. Therefor there would be no issue with rain or dust. I have a LED headlight...it's not that impressive. I bet two Cyclops bulbs would blow it away and far as usable light.
Those are available on eBay, search for H4 CREE Philips LED. What I liked is that the low beam is CREE LED and the High Beam is Philips. Works great.
I thought that an H11 bulb was supposed to be used? Now let me ask you something. On my base 1299 in low beam the 2 lights that are individual on each side are bright white. And the strips that sort of go around the housing like on an audi are yellowish. If I use the bulbs you listed does that make the strips white? Or does that make the 2 inner bulbs whiter? I dont like how when my low beams are on the strips are yellow
The philips LED bulbs you wrote about. When I went on amazon it said they are fog lights in the description. Is that what they are or did I find something else by mistake. Here is the description Philips 12834UNIX2 X-tremeVision LED Fog Light, Fits Fog H8, H11, H16, 2 Pack
Yes, they are sold as fog lights. I dont know why but those are what I used on my RSV4 and was extremly satisfied with the outcome and improved light.
Thanks for the reply. I just ordered as soon as I red your reply. One more question. These lights have nothing to do with the LED yellow strips right? The lights I ordered are for the 2 inner bulbs. And once lit up will I see the yellow LED strips around the headlight housing or will the new lights be bright enough where they will over power them like the ones the original poster posted with his pics?
Yes, these have nothung to do with the led stripe. These just replace those H11 bulbs. I assume those bulbs are for both low and high beam (as it was on the RSV4) and the led stripe is only parking light. Those bulbs should be bright enough to over power the led parkong light (but I do not think that those photos posted by the original poster are exact what a human eye can see (as that is light caughted by a camera that probably not can get different light from same source correct)). I now have an Panigale S with oem leds so I have not been focusing on this at all on this bike.
959 park lights are white low beam where replaced with led the panigale has 4 globes 2 for low and 2 for high I just replaced the low ... h11 is the shape of the bulb and that is a common fog light globe shape
