I recently got my RS and the bulbs were the first thing I had to "fix".
I got a pair of Philips Ultinon H7 bulbs (but the previous gen with the mesh heatsink).
The mesh is easy to fit into the gap between the headlight housing and the inside reflector wall. From there I had to make a 14mm hole in the dust cover to put LED lead and the headlight feed cable through (had to pull the connector pins from the headlight plug otherwise I would have had to make an even bigger hole). This bulb has an external "resistor pack" which I strapped to the instrument/fairing bracket. Unfortunately at this point the dash would show an error so I also got the Philips error cancellers.
So now when I switch the ignition on I still get an error but once I start the RS the error goes away and I have lovely bright white headlights.
Testing LEDs before fitting error canceller.
Some gasket sealant to keep things airtight.
