BMW R1200GS 2007 LED Headlight and Turn Signals
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лис 2019
- In this video, I make the conversion from the stock headlight unit to LED on my 07 BMW R1200GS K25.
Also, the turn signals are replaced with LED units.
Comment below what you think about this conversion, especially about some solutions for the fast-blinking turn signals.
If someone needs the stl file for the spacer I can send it by email, or even 3D print the part.

Thank you. Your video gave me the little confidence I needed to this job myself and save not only money but time. My LED replacement was also from e-bay but did not come with the protective plate or all the rubber grommets needed for installation. Had to remove the old ones, tore one but it remained serviceable. A process but well worth it and your video was instrumental in my decision to do it myself in about a half hour of work. Thanks! BTW, my bike is a 2009 R1200GSA.
Hi once I fitted mine I need to adjust i as the beem is too low, how do I do this or are they fixed.
Sérgio,
many thanks for your support & the file for 3D print of the spacer - works perfect for me!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How can i get this file?
I returned from the BMWRA Rally 4 am, until Dawn, on interstate 40. That LED WORKED GREAT! I’ve always been anxious about Road debris, but all the light remedied that!!
I also like it very much.
A top man and a great help with fitting my headlight that was too high...made the installation very easy with this great video thank you and keep up the great work 👌
Thanks mate.
Well all need these LEDs for safety and a modern look. Great work and video.
Thanks
Hello, i guess I owed you an explination regarding turnsignals error, fast blinking. Prior to owning the R1200GS I've owned an 2008 F800GS and bought for that bike led turnsignals but dind't installed them. So I swapped the old ones with the fast blinking from the R, put the F800 ones in and problem solved :). No dash error and no fast blinking.
So in your case you just used a different model? They were original?
@@GFI just user the F800GS ones which also i've bought from china. Strait plug&play wihout any errors.
If you want I can share with you a video ans a link with the one that I bought (on whatsapp)
It would be great. I will send you an email.
Andrei, can you send me your email to send you my phone number goforit.channel@gmail.com
Thank you for this video: i just finished the upgrade of my R1200GS from 2009 white watching it. I just need to watch how to do the light level adjustment, and it’s fully done. 🏍🤙🏼
Good job.
And there is no fault message (Lampf) regarding the upgrade?
Juhana Jatila not any: the bike didn’t mentioned the change.
Thank you very much for your brilliant video and for sharing your experiences with the LED conversion. I recently bought a similar headlight, and I have the same issue with the instability due to the bottom fixing point. I am very impressed with your engineering skills and ability to "just" create the part, you needed.
I tried designing something similar with a Stanley knife and some rubber - not as successful as yours ;-) Therefore I have send you an email kindly requesting the 3D print file. I hope you're still able to share it. Thanks again!

Top guy - a great instructional video. You have gone the extra mile by sending me your unique spacer.. Thank You😀😀
You welcome. Ride safe
Awesome...looking forward to any developments you have with a vertical adjuster...
Has anyone come up with a solution for vertical adjustment?
Hi. Not yet. Didn't had time to work more on that.
GoForIt I see. Keep us posted!
Nice vid. Thinking about this upgrade also. Like the big hammer on your workbench for the minimum required toolset...
We use to call it "The Portuguese Wrench" 😂😂😂
Thank you Sergio for this great vid and sending me your spacer for the headlight! Awesome
Enjoy
Thank you so much for the patient instruction on completing this task, for I bought the same headlight for my 2006 GSA! I haven't completed it, just studying. I see that my wires are black white and yellow and the parking light * I suppose* is red. Don't see where it attaches. But, removal of the instrument cluster, etc., are what I needed to see!! Thanks so much.
Thanks for your comment. Good that you were able to feel more confident to go for it
@@GFI Wow, I have a new LED headlight, thanks to your efforts to educate me! Mine fit like a glove. Only thing I did differently, is I took a small piece of bicycle inner tube, cut a round hole for the "peg" on which the headlight sits, making a shim. The light is rock solid. Seems to be ok on the adjustment. Keeping my fingers crossed! Only problem I had, was unplugging the main light cord, but I didn't know how with that little silver looking clip. Once again, I thank you for educating me on the installation!!
@@1KemosabeLarry Hi! Is your LED headlight unit the one with the extra ' hole ' below? Or is it the one with only 2 supports at the side? Mine does not have the support at the bottom and it moves up as it vibrates in the road
@@dmejiaa Mine has two knobs, one on each side of the light, just like the video/ And, a hole on the bottom in which to mount the knob/spike on the bike. Just like the video. In order to prevent shaking, I cut a little innertube from a bicycle, and cut a small hole, shoved it down on that protruding spike on the bike, which slips into the bottom of the light. So far, my install has been perfect. BUT, I do have a 'lamf' on the dash permanently. I am accustomed to that now. Here's wishing you good luck! Follow the videos, as he did a great job!
@@1KemosabeLarry Thank you for the tip about the rubber tube. My headlight does not have the hole in the button but you gave me a good idea with the rubber piece! - About your LAMPF error, you should not get it. In case you want to try, I read that sometimes the little connector (the one that should go to the cable where the small bulb used to be) gives problems.. unplug it and turn the connector around.. so that the small wire makes connection to the other side - might be worth to try - Saludos!
Your video inspired me to make the change I had now added the LED Blinkers and the main light and I love it, it looks great and I will enjoy it on my rides
Great to get your message. That is my main goal, to inspire people to Go For It. Thanks for your message. Enjoy and ride safe.
Great video! Thanks 😁👍🏻 looks so much better!
Thanks.
A ideia do espaçador está incrível... as voltas que dei à cabeça para perceber como poderia fazer para resolver a questão da folga da borracha do Farol...
E mais uma vez, obrigado pela disponibilidade para fornecer o ficheiro e o espaçador.
Cumprimentos do norte e sucesso para o canal.

Obrigado Luís. Cumprimentos.
Very good and informative video definitely be converting my front lights to led
Thanks for your message. Do it, it's a really good mod in terms of cost benefit.
Thank you for a quick reply it’s nice to know that you take time to acknowledge the comments that you receive keep up the good work .
Regards Paul.
I'm really surprised that a $150 lighting kit off Aliexpress doesn't make the BMW computer throw up error codes. Since it doesn't, this seems like a fun upgrade. BTW, I find installing and removing big rubber grommets easier if you squirt them with some silicone lubricant first.
If you don't have access to a 3d printer you could probably fill the space with JBWeld.
With the 3D printed part you have a little of adjustability with 2 fixed positions. It's true that no codes came from this unit. It's really nice.
Great job
Nice Video !
Hello you can send me the file for the 3D printer ?
Many thanks.
Really Amazing !! This headlight transform this bike!!
Sure it does.
Loved your video, man!
Thanks.
Hey there! as far as I know you can program the bmw unit so it will work with led blinkers, no need to add resistors 😉
I can only connect to the bike ECU by the app Motoscan and I cannot find that option
Nice job Man really Pro
Thanks.
thanks for the awesome guide!
Thanks. You have email.
Hi , love the videos .. just wondering have you fitted the resistors for the indicators yet ?
Hi Johnny, not yet. But they will be on soon. I am rebuilding a garage I bought for the mechanical work and couldn't go on with that.
Show o vídeo bem explicado!!!
Abraço amigo direito do Brazil.....
Obrigado pela mensagem. Mais videos em breve. Um abraço.
Thx for the detailed instructions. Maybe you could upload the stl-file of the spacer?
thx for the file!
Excelente vídeo e explicação. Estou tentado a instalar um igual na minha GS de 2009, seria possível disponibilizar-me o ficheiro do espaçador ? Obrigado
Boa noite. Claro que sim. Envie-me .um e-mail para goforit.channel@gmail.com e eu respondi com o ficheiro.
Bro u are a great person!
Thanks 😀
Super movie. A few days ago I received a led lamp for BMW 1200gs 2009. But unfortunately it arrived with a damaged meter base mount and I need to fix it
Do you need some help?
Hi, you made a really useful video. Congratulation. It helps a lot for the headlight conversion. Do you have the stl. or some other file extension to print that spacer? It will be really helpful I think if you can share with us. Thanks
Hi. Thanks for your message. Please send me an email.
Hello, can I mount this headlight on a K100 from 1985 ? I turned it into a scrambler
I am not sure. Probably you can but it might require some adapter.
Thank you, very informative
Excellent mod
Thanks for you message. Do not forget to subscribe :)
tq for your vid.This Beast still legend and the best
Thanks. It’s an amazing bike.
Hello, i just did my own led light. Step by step withe this awesume vid!
But did you fix the turn signals. So that thee will blink normal speed?
Hi. I am glad the video was useful. The blinking rate is not fixed yet but I have already a set of resistors to install. I will post a video soon with that.
I have fixt the fast blinking! Just put a 12v relais Between the cabels of all the blinkers. It was a lot of soldering but it Works!!!!!
I am looking to make the up grade with this new led head light but at the same time I was kind of scare to end up with a mess. Your video instade show clearly the work to be done and how to be done. The difference is that you are a pro and I an amatorial 😅😅! One thing I need from you if it is possible, to buy the 3D spacer from you. I have a 1200 adv 2006, I think that would be same to moto. Look for your kind reply and really great job 👏👏
I am also an amateur. Do not worry it’s a simple procedure. Send me an email about the spacer.
@@GFI thanks for your fast reply and send you my request by e-mail! Great job
Thank you for your nice video. With the help of your video I was also able to exchange my headlight (r1200GS 2012) for a LED one. I do have the problem that it keeps moving, so if you could help me with the file for the 3D print.
Hi Arjan. Sure, send me an email. goforit.channel@gmail.com
Great video really enjoyed very helpfully, are u still enjoying the led head light ?
Yes, it's working great, like the first day.
Hey mate. Greetings from Australia. Just bought the same head unit will be fitting it tomorrow.
Thanks for the help. Do you sell those spacers? Or would you share the file for 3d printing? Loving the channel..
Thanks mate.

Thanks mate. Send me an email and I send you the STL file. goforit.channel@gmail.com
Super great videos, thank's to you a buy one too.
Can you share the file with the plastic piece to print it with an 3D printer ? Thank's !
Hi David. Nice to read your comment. Please send me an email and I will provide you with the file.
Hi once I fitted mine I needed to adjust i as the beem is too low, how do I do this or are they fixed.? Thanks
They are fixed. You can only adjust a bit in the bottom fix point. The piece I’be designed allow you to mount it in two positions.
Hi. What cash bars usted you motorcycle... after the change lights, the desk or computer show error on diplay?
Hi. The crash bars are from HEED. I have the error but due to the led turn signals. I will solve that soon and then after clear the error I can properly test. But for now I clean the error and it won't came back until I push the turn signal.
Do you have a link for the headlight unit? Thanks for the video, also would the genuine bmw indicators already have the resistors in place as I saw another video & they were plug n play? 👍😎
You can find a lot on AliExpress like this one for example (€ 166,54 53％ Off | Motorcycle light 110W LED Front Headlight For BMW R1200GS R1200 GS adv 2004-2012
a.aliexpress.com/_mMXzZuW). About the indicators I am not sure, but it is possible.
Where did you get the turn signals. I got a 2007 GSA already with the LED headlight but would like to upgrade the turn signals
Hi. You can find a lot of sellers on Aliexpress. I will fix the blinking rate soon. Subscribe and activate the notifications, to get the video as soon as I release it. Thanks.
What brand of crash bar is that ? Great video 👍
Heed is the brand. Thanks.
Hi, dude. This is very good resolution. I have same problem with light. Do you have above the picture from print on the sale ? Thank you ...
Hi. Send me an email goforit.channel@gmail.com
It's the same model year bike, but with the headlamps, the fuel gauge doesn't work, and the fuel warning light works. Do you know the solution?
Hi. Never heard about that. Are you sure the display connector is attached properly?
I just watch your video about the new light on yoursBMW 2007 was it any good did it do the job very good please can you let me know Terry
Hi Terry. The difference is huge. I have also a video with a night test. It’s not perfect but IMO it have an excellent value for the money.
Hello, thank you for your superb video! Would it be possible to have the small 3D printed part to make the adjustment? Thanks in advance!
Hi Henri. Send me an email please.
Hello, where can I buy the piece that you have made to hold the headlight so that it does not move?
You can’t 😅. Just send me an email GoForIt.channel@gmail.com
Just bought a led unit for my 2006 GS, how could I get hold of one of those spacers as don’t have a 3d printer?
Hi. Please send me an email.
Hey can you send the link for the front headlight assembly?!
The link is at the video description.
sorry, but can you adjust the light according to the weight on the bike as you do with the original headlight?
Hi. Not at the moment.
I’ll take the headlight protection please
Olá efectuei a mesma alteração que VC fez mas o farol treme muito será que há a possibilidade de me fazer uma anilha igual á sua e eu pago todos os custos
Olá Rui. Agradeço o envio de email goforit.channel@gmail.com
Hi great video how do you fix the fast blinking turn signal?
Hi Salim, they e not fixed yet, but I have already the parts to fix them. Will upload the video soon. You need to use some resistors.
@@GFI what kind of resistor are needed ?
What about headlamp conversions for K1300R 2014? Seen K1300R replacements but also R1300GS[?] conversion for K1300R, too. Any experience with that?
Hi. No experience with that swap. It seems a nice idea, but I cannot help on that, sorry.
Hi. What a great detailed video description. Thank you for the information. I subscribed. From South Africa. Will it be possible for me to purchase the 3d printed part from you? I do not have access to a printer. I am looking forward to your next videos.
Hi Peter. Thanks for your message. Please send me an email with your address.
Nice video. Could you tell me who makes your upper tank guard bars?
Hi. They are a set with the lower ones. The brand is HEED. heedshop.eu/en_US/c/R-1250-GS/161
@@GFI thank you!
Great Video - looks simple to fit! I'm waiting to receive the unit from China but would appreciate if you could send your 3D STL file?
Sure, just send me an email and I will reply.
Great video! I`m more confident now in making the change for my 2009 GS. will be really helpful if you could send me the spacer file. many thanks!
Hi Radu. You have email.
hey is your computer give a warning ? after running the new led light .
The computer guide warning but due to the turn signals, not the headlight.
Brilliant job! Thank you. Do you have the link where I can buy one of them?
Thanks. The link is on the video description.
what crash bars are they? they are amazing, btw I fixed that bottom issue of the headlight moving by cable tying that rubber Gromit from both sides so it stays put, worked perfectly
The crash bars are from Heed. If you managed to fix the headlight it's solved 😀
@@GFI It's now shaking! :( how has your spacer holding up? would it be possible to have it posted? I don't have access to a 3d printer. Thanks
@@Audiforsale3494 send me an email please
@@GFI Email sent!
@@GFI Thank you so much for sending the part!
Looks great but dose it put a bulb warning for the headlight ?
Yes, in my case it does. Not fixed yet.
Hi have you cured the bulb warning ?
Hello,
nice job. Is it possible to get the stl-file for the spacer?
Some wishes from germany

Hi Leo. Send me an email goforit.channel@gmail.com
Does the headlight more kabels or somthing like the backlight? (Your other video)
Hi. The headlight do not need any cable extra. As I stated in the video the only extra stuff I used was the 3D printed spacer I designed to help fix the unit in the lower bushing.
Did you fix the speed of the turn signals? If yes? How???
Hello friend, I think your video on installing the LED lamp for the BMW K25 is great. I've bought the lamp and I'm having an issue with vibration, could you please help me with the file for 3D printing? Greetings from Colombia.
Hi. Thanks for your message. Please check your email.
Great video. Helped sooo much with the install !!
You're welcome! Thanks for your message.
Thanks for sharing. I bought it! How can I contact with you about that little plastic part?
Send me email: goforit.channel@gmail.com
Is there any sort of assembling or adjustment at the electronic control Unit necessary, when switching to LED headlight?
Hi. No adjustment required. It's plug and play.
@@GFI And do you have a link to the headlight? The link in the description doesnt work unfortunately. Thank you!
Oh now it works! All fine! Thanks
Seems like a major design flaw that the LED headlight housing doesn't have any provision to aim the beam. There's no point in having a brighter light if it's not shining in the right place.
It's true that you do not have an easy way to fine tune it. You can get at least in two positions with the spacer I've 3D printed for the bottom mounting point.
Anyhow if you pay attention to the light signature at the door, the LED is at the exact same place than the original, so in my case it should be fine. I will make a video at night to get some more info.
Who makes this? What company?
@@depinder11 This unit was bought at Aliexpress so it is from some Chinese brand.
Yes, it's a shame that this ability is lost with the new unit. Our bike/car inspection in Japan tests beam alignment in x and y axis, so this is important. Also a shame we lose the quick-adjuster switch to offset weight in the back. Nice job on the install and video, GoForIt
@@jimgoddard3957 I am planning to design and 3D print an adjustment adapter, at least for the vertical axle. As soon as I have time I will post an update.
Thanks for the video. Just sent you an email asking for the file, hope you still have it somewhere.
Hi Szymon. Replied already.
Would this work in the f800st?
You can find a specific headlight for the F800 “family“.
Nice video. Will it be possible for me to purchase the 3d printed part from you? I do not have access to a printer.

Hello, So I did this job on my 2008 R1200GS and now I have the same issue with the turn signals. Can you please let my know what resistors did you use to remove the error from dash and stop the fast blinking? Many thanks for you time
Hi Andrei. They are not installed yet 😅 so I cannot be sure if they work fine or not. I just searched eBay for resistors suitable for Gs LED turn signals. I will address that soon and release video. If you want to wait a bit, I will share my experience with that.
@@GFI should not be that hard to do the job, but i was just asking for some support :). I'll do the job later this week end and let you know. Just as info, the GS uses 10W signal bulbs so you need a minium 10W rezistor (20w and 15ohm to be on the safe side)
@@ardeiutzu it would be nice to get the feedback with your experience on that.
