Can anyone tell me what this electrical connection is for?

I have found this on my 2010, F800 GS, located below and to the R/H side of the R/H light behind the fairing, directly in front of the R/H fork leg. It is appears to be a plug connected to a dummy holder. I heard that BMW left provision in the cable loom for interfacing OA Spots. I am intending to install Wunderlich spotlights so could I utilize this I wonder?

If not, how have others interfaced these?

Thanks for any assistance.

Isn't that where the temp sensor is?

Ahhh, that's what it is, had another (better) look and there is the little probe.

Thanks.

Not a problem, I installed some wunderlich spot lights and they came with great instructions.

I downloaded installation instructions for these earlier, and yep, the instructions look fairly comprehensive and straightforward. After reading several posts regarding interfacing additional equipment on CANbus circuits I started to worry it my be a more complicated job than I thought. But by the looks of it, it's minimal disruption to the original wiring and everything required is in the box.

If I remember rightly the hardest part is when you splice into the running light power feed so the lights switch off with the ignition. If I can do it, anyone can!

Job done. Yep, that's the trickiest part, not a lot there get get stuck into.
