Excellent work, Kirk! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I like it better with out the music. Those upgraded bulbs really improve the readability of the dash. Good tip.

[@stevelinscome728]

Thanks. I had to get into mine to do a jerryrig repair on one of my windshield brackets. And amen on the caution of handling the map light screw! Drop mine a couple of times, but retrieved it, phew!
Amazing about the "copyright" issues with the music.

Kirk,
On one of your excellent videos, you mentioned installing led fog/driving lights in the air intake on the front fairing, does that video still exist?

My 08 LT does not have that cluster. It looks like the cluster bulbs can't be changed out? Just 2 large plugs on each side of the cluster.

[@kenolstad9507]

Kirk - on my 2006 LT, there is a black rectangle blank spot on the left side of my dash that would accommodate an accessory my bike doesn't have. Question - will that blank rectangle simply pry (snap) off?

[@therooster1845]

Do you know where these ground too? My gas cluster light comes and goes so i know the bulb works but usually it dont.

[@davidfoster5225]

Going to order led replacement bulbs today, how many bulbs?

[@marcoteran4919]

Hello, Can you help with a video about of how to fix the speedometer? (BMW K1200LT) Mine is not working sometimes. Where is the cable? I can't see it on the ABS area! Maybe is broke and needs to be repair. HELP PLEASE! YOU ROCK MY FRIEND!

[@philhenwood]

Hey how many bulbs are there? Thanks

[@marianualart]

I just bought a 2006 and the dash has the LED integrated in it. The manual says if defective it has to be replaced as a whole.
Mine glows on once in a while (very nice though) but most of the time it remains dark. I removed the two wire plugs, sprayed with contact cleaner, dried with compressed air added some dielectric lube and plugged it again. I did glowed at the beginning but no difference: it came off again in a while. Any idea if somebody had the same problem and fixed it other way than expending $1,300 plus in a new cluster?
Thanks in advance.
Jesus.
Note: I'm in South Florida and I guess the sun has something to do with it.

Kirk, Excellent videos sir! I have a question about a 2002 K1200LT. I am having a problem removing the right upper fairing. It seems stuck next to the compartment in front of the drivers seat

[@kirksmotorrad]

lift it up. there is a tab that gets hung up

[@richardshort4587]

Any chance of a before and after view of the dash with lights on in the dark please ?

[@esmiley3]

Richard Short great idea!

Hopeless prices on that webstore. 5 led bulbs 10 dollars.. Thats ok, but the Its shipping of one tiny little envelope to Norway: 80 dollars. There goes my ambition of getting me these Nice leds.
