LED headlight and taillight for S4R

Hello all
I am looking for recommendations for a LED headlight and taillight for a 2004 S4R
For the taillight, I don't want integrated indicator signals and don't need the number plate light. I do want a good quality item, with red or clear lense cover.

Any help appreciated

I can't help with the headlight I'm afraid but I had nice smoked LED rear light on my S2R from Desmoworld. Unfottunately, it seems they're no longer available but it looked like this one currently on offer at Design Corse for £45.

Wemoto have a similar but clear lens version for only £26.

There is lots of choice of 7" LED units out there and I'm afraid I couldn't recommend or deride any of them as I have not tried any out.
However I can tell you that if you would like to retain your original Monster headlamp shell and rim, then I can help you with an adapter that will enable you to fit any 7" lamp unit of your choice.

Details here, but please let me quote you for mail if you are in fact in New Zealand!

I’ve had one of these fitted for a few years. It works really well and is good quality. I don’t like intergrated indicators either.

Thanks for the replies. After looking at a few LED headlights online, I've come to the conclusion that there aren't any decent looking ones and I'll take your advice Gazza and fit a decent H4.

I think the answer to my Brighter bulb issue is actually to add a relay and upgrade the wires and use ceramic 3 pin connectors so volts and aperarage to the bulb suffer minimal loss ,, word is that that will get me more light
