Got any questions about the BMW's R1200RT/R1250RT's onboard audio, Bluetooth or the Electrical system?

LED headlight for an RT?

Post by stayingupright »



Has anyone tried a LED headlight bulb to replace the normal one in the RT?


The pictures in the link look quite impressive on first glance.

I was born with nothing and unfortunately I still have most of it left.

One of the comments suggest they don't last long.

Yeah, I noticed that ... Although that did look like it was directed at cheap eBay lights from China.


The light output does look impressive though.
Only trouble it is an absolute minefield as to what to get so was hoping that someone had already gone down this route.

They say 35W.  As the limbus expects there to be 55W you would probably end up with a warning light on all the time.
