LEDs can be brighter while using less power, I've seen pics someplace, maybe orkut , of R15s with LED pilots . Osram Nighbreaker is a plug and play fit , but it is 60/55W against the stock 35/35W . The R15's 4AH battery does raise questions about how much current it can reliably run for 60W bulbs , and yes this will void your warranty. Potential drawback aside from drained battery is the added heat may damage your reflector & lens over some time - not certain, but possible .
