This is where I got my last bulb from. I was able to order only one.

Apparently there is a difference with the euro bulbs, and the Osram bulbs from them were supposed to be better than the ones you can get here. I dunno

My bad. Did they change it from the pre-gen to the new-gen?

Yeah, Stock bulbs are 12V 55W H7.

Philips X-tremeVision are supposed to be the best available.

You don't technically need to remove the fairings to get at the bulbs. You will however need to remove the black thing under the front cowl. From there you can feel your way around and change it.

Alternatively, take off the front fairing 400x easier.

Also, you should check to make sure that the plug hasn't come out before you go and get a H7 bulb

LOL! I hope you're kidding. Taking all the fairings off and replacing rotten wellnuts just for a better view is WAY harder.
