I have a 2018 R1250GSA, and the LH Spot has decided it doesn't wan to work. Are these fused separately? If so, where? Thanks. Simon

 

[Lord Snooty]

I don't know about the fuses but are you sure it is not the bulb that has failed? Swap them over and see what happens.

If they’re the OEM LED lights, they all do that sir.

I’ve had a 1200RT, a 1200GS, a 1250GS and an 850GS. On all of them at least one auxiliary light has failed - and on the 850 both. They don’t like rain and they don’t like vibration. It’s a well-known problem so I’d make the first port-of-call your dealer…

No fuses. They're LED. They fail all the time. Because they're BMW.

Get rid and get some quality units for half the price.

Water ingress.......100% recently happened to me. Not a cheap fix from OEM. Denali/Stedi if out of warranty.

It’s the earlier lights that are a problem not the newer lights. I had to change mine for this reason. New lights and part of the loom and no more problems. Not cheap but it cured the problem.

Don't think in 23 years of GS spotlight ownership, I've ever used the spotlights. Always makes me grin when you see a line of GS riders in blistering sunshine, all with their spotlights on. Dickheads.
Ooooo Look at me on my BMW GS...... Dickheads

Panzers in formation.... The spotlights bring out the colours in their sparking clean Klim suits.

I'd check the connector for water ingress. Had a mate with a spotlight problem that was intermittent and somehow water had found its way in. He disconnected it and sprayed in some contact cleaner which sorted it. Worth a try before the expense of a new one.

Still safer and less cringeworthy than a high vis helmet and polite jacket

I have my Denalis on all the time (dipped) day or night, but I done bother with the standard ones. There is a science behind it, it’s far easier for people to judge your speed with more than one light.

I wonder if there's anyone reading this that does wear a high vis Polite vest ?

Think Onahi proves the point about line of GS riders in sunlight. If your attention is drawn to them kinda proves the point about being more visible doesn't it?
Whatever your thoughts about dickheads

So will you? From your own admission, It will save your life ?

Considering fogs though since I had a recent Frank discussion with a car driver about SMIDSY after a near miss
