Just ordered LED spots

[Nutty]

It was a toss up between the GSA dark screen (see my other post) or genuine BMW Aux LED lights, so given the fog yesterday, and shite weather that is coming, I figured LED spots would be a wiser purchase right now. As the bike is in the garage at the moment, and Vines are doing an offer saving £101, it's a good time to do it. They will fit them, and I should get it back tomorrow.

Will post some pics once I get it back.

Maybe Santa Claus will buy me a GSA screen for Christmas.

Hi
How much is the spot light kit minus fitting?
Cheers

 

[ianf]

189.81 I'll have a set if they're 88 quid.

 

[Pablo1]

£380 for led's
£320 for standard halogens
Includes everything you need however even if you fit yourself they have to do a software update on bike, estimated about £25
N.B. the electrics to plug these BMW oem ones to is under the tank , that put me off fitting them myself.
Have a look at these , £220 delivered easy peasy to fit, no extra switch required works off the full beam flasher.

suggest anyone doing this looks on bikevis.com, may not be quite the same quality but the price drop is massive
i wired mine into the unused sat nav supply via a switch as its low current, no relays and no Canbus issues or reprogramming

These are not just marker lights, 90% of it is heatsink for the driver. They're brighter than the halogen ones.

And way cool.

Your a 1200 rider, you don't need to make excuses for bolting a set of lights to your bike

Are these the ones with the brackets made out of cheese?

Nope, they are the new ones made out of aluminium.

Sounds more like made out of gold

That's £189 to upgrade from standard fog to LED fogs.

If you already have the GSA, you already have the brackets, cables and switch, so £90 per light is about right. The kit for £415.00 is for the lights, brackets, cables, switch and all labour. From calling 3 dealers, I'm happy that £415 is a good price (although I did take a deep breath before I ordered them)
