Bmw Led Aux lamps

Peeps

I have a pair of first generation BMW LED aux lamps I recently took off my 2017 1200 LC before I sold it. Now I want to do something useful with these as they are quite decent lamps and I already own them. So was looking at fitting them to my 1100 to beef up the terrible dip beam. I notice however that they have three wires into them as opposed to just pos and neg. Presumably this is canbus related?

So I was wondering if any of you knowledgeable gentlemen would know if it's possible and if so how, would I connect these lamps up on my obviously non canbus 1100? Or should I just sell them and buy lamps with just pos and neg?

Cheers folks..

The 3rd wire is likely for dimming purposes? Was this a feature you had on your other bike

Ah... Good point but no I didn't.. Seen that before on DRL's but not aux lights..

is it not for wiring into a mounted switch?
