Led headlight bulb Ninjette 2011

Hello,
I have a quick question because i might have made small mistake
I bought some led headlight bulbs but i misread the wattage.
I read here that the headlight bulbs are h7 55w and i bought h7 72w.
I haven't received them yet but i'm curious of what will happen if i test them.
Please assist me further.
The leds are el-cheapo:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2x-H...31114c4db8vp0F

I don't see why you'd have any problem as far as your electrical system. Any claim of 72 watts is talking about "equivalent brightness" to an incandescent bulb, and probably stretching it at that. I've used LED headlamps like that and they're OK, but not great. One problem is they don't keep light out of of the eyes of oncoming drivers, even on "low beam".

Welcome to the board Vasileios!

Thanks a lot for the answer and thanks for welcoming me.i have been reading stuff a while but im a newcomer.
I saw that there are 2 headlights but because im the 3rd hand the previous owner did something stupid and i don't have low beam.i was wondering could i have the 2 lamps on in high beam?would this stretch the battery too much?Because i usually drive late at night and not on the main roads(mainly mountain roads) i could use all the light i can

In the stock setup, the low beam is always on, and the "Lo/Hi" switch actually just turns the high beam on and off, without affecting the low beam at all.
