Anyone tried these?
I only got a 6volt system and a very tired glow-worm.

i had an xr250 when new, they failed the headlight at the warrant so i used to take out the tail light and go back they were fine with that! no battery what else could you do, but then we ended up putting a diode across the taillight in line with a bulb and when the brake light switch shorted it the bulb went full strength, was betterer

I've used those, but paid $30 bucks for 2 :D Being in a decent housing makes all the difference, and there isn't a huge amount of difference between high and low, but they will def be better than whatever you've got in there now. In saying that I have never had a 6 volt bike.

Personally I would also replace your tail light and indicator bulbs with LEDs ;)

Yep, found heaps cheaper options like yours. What are 'indicators'? LOL find a bike old enough and they not required!

This guy has 6volt halogen bulbs plus a lot of other interesting stuff. His mail order system works well.
