Interesting...No I haven't. The skeptic in me says it will be very bright but get dimmer fairly quickly because of the lack of any form of heatsink.
Awaiting to hear other responses.

I can share my experience of this type of bulb, I purchased a set of very high end LED replacements, fitted them and they were very bright and clean looking (from the front)
On driving at night they threw a wide beam but incredibly short, I think this was due to the difference in light distribution from the bulb affecting the beam pattern formed by the reflector. In short they were not safe for night time use.
I since fitted a set of HID50 supplied by Les at
www.hid50.com and they are amazing - Had them on my GS before I got the RT and I have to say with dual headlights they are incredible

May not respond to your question, but here is what I am using and happy with:
HID 35w 4500K Ultra CanBus from DDM for LO. Would use same for HI, but that would
make flashing impossible, since it takes some time for the bulb to warm up. So for
that am using a high end WeissLicht Illustro. Not cheap, but works great. Not easy
to install, though.
