2014 R1200RT....Let there be light

[Yonkyo]

And lots of them...

Just DRL's


DRL's and Low beam.


Now with LED's


And the full Monty.



Just need to ride it in the dark now.....

Very Nice! When I had a test ride on the GSA WC I noticed you could not have both DRL and LEDs together, is this not the case with the RT? Just curious. And what a lovely bike by the way, maybe my next one...

Looks good!!!

The only glimmer of light at the end of my tunnel is I might get my bike back sometime in the next month or so.....

Thanks Nico

LEDs are the same with RT. They wont switch on with just the DRLs. They will only switch on with the dip beam......but i'm sure that some clever chap will come up with a workaround.

You still waiting for your RT .........how come?

 

[Boxed-in]

I shipped it out to Brunei, and the dealer is 260 miles up the road not even in Brunei. Asia are working a different system from Europe, they are waiting for new parts to come out, then they ship the old part back, so I guess there is lack of new parts.

 

[Yonkyo]

Thats a bummer, good luck with getting it back soonest.....

Boxed In - sent you a PM

check out the Clearwater lights. they make darkness into sunlight. Kind of EXPENSIVE though

Hi Yonkyo

Please can you tell me which type of H7s you are running on your dipped beam?..they look mighty bright and white

 

[Yonkyo]

Hi Binky

There is a single H7 dipped bulb in the 2014+ RT. I'm using one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331430472818

the colour matches the LED Halos perfectly, and its very bright indeed. I still have the standards Halogens in the Main beams though.

Hi Yonko , are the spots (leds) just std BMW ones ? and the dipped beam just needs one of those bulbs ? ,As the Pack in the link sells two ! finally do you can all that into the headlight itself ? must be tight fitting ….

Yes the aux lights are std BMW LEDS. As for the headlight, they only sell the LED markers in pairs, so i used the other one in my other bike...however, i'm selling my other bike, so i might have a spare LED H7 for sale soon

The LED H7 is a tight fit inside the headlight housing, but it does fit (although its a very fiddly job to install it),

Ok Thats great ,thanks for the Info. If you decide to sell the H7 drop me a line …I have the Std lower LEDS fitted ,so if i have fit the H7 ,which is required to be honest, I have the same set up as yourself. I dont ride too much at night , but hopefully people will be able to see me a bit more !

regards DC

Thanks Yonkyo....sorry one last question....is the fitting a nightmare?
