Disconnecting Fog Lights - GSA WC

[Twpyn]

Ignoring the Troll...

OK - So I didn’t look properly; there is indeed a connector on the rear underside of the light - you need to get underneath to see it. Connector is well hidden compared to the old bike foglight connector.

Couldn’t work out how the connector came off, so unbolted the light for a better look at the underside. I found that by inserting a flat blade screwdriver as per photo below, the connector pops off. The tab that the screwdriver lifts up can be clearly seen in second photo. Kinda neat that the tools under the pillion seat are all you need for the job.

I just wonder why it needs 4 wires do when normally only 2 are needed to power a light. What do the additional 2 wires do?

Any chance you still have photos of the clip to disconnect the fog lights i need to remove mine to register motor cycle in Spain

Why? if they are original equipment then there shouldn't be any need to for the Matriculation.
You can download the CoC for them off BMW

I totally agree , I have now included the spot lights into the ficha reducida (CoC) and I will give it another try next week.

Just a quick update after adding spot lights to the ficha reducida it passed the Spanish ITV ,so anyone registering their GS Adventure in future make sure the engineer adds the spot lights to the COC report before booking your ITV

Just fitted led lights to my 650GS. Same lights I believe as on the WC.
The wires were plugged into the lights. I think it is a four pin plug.
The release clip for the plug can only be accessed from the front top of the lamp. Then pull the wire out. Tie up under the beak.

2015 R1200GSA here. This was the answer that worked for me. The front bottom of the lamp though. I assume they're mounted opposite way up/down on the two bikes. Anyway, the same side the plug/wires can be seen from, but the front.
