Rear light 06 Hexhead

let us know how you get on...
It does seem very complicated all this dealer reprogramming thing, for my '06 bike i just phoned Motorworks and told them what I've got and they sent me a near perfect condition o/e LED unit and if i recall a small link wire that enables the electrics to think the LED is a normal filament unit. The o/e LED unit is certainly much better quality than the o/e filament unit it replaced. Job done.
Also be aware that the o/e rear unit provides the illumination for the number plate.

It's the same with LED indicators unless you get the type with ballast resistors. Fancy headlights will play up unless you get Canbus compatible jobbies.
GS-911 cannot do this. Needs to be plugged into and logged onto BMW system.......at main dealer prices.

There was a chap (on here a few weeks ago) who was playing around with the canbus programming. I’ll bet he’s found a way to hack the system.
Can’t remember his handle though.

not a GS but - I swopped my bulb rear lamp for an LED version on an F800R (2009)
£15 Ebay for a copy version.. P&P fitting.. lasted almost 3 yrs before the LEDs started failing.
didn't need coding , nor were there any lamp faults shown on the front display..

Jaysus...... 15 quid, now I'm jealous.

Don't be. The OEM bulb tail lights were terrible for rusting away.
But just to rub it in

I opted for the Hornig option (the more basic looking frosted one)
Definitely plug and play and should look a whole lot better than the red standard one.

Ive got LED halo rings around the spotlights. After one year they are shagged with half of the LEDs not showing. I doubt its faulty LED chips, more likely crap soldering. Another pair are on order complete with clear plastic covers (which I'll fill with acrylic sealant). At £12 for the set, they might not last any longer but the clear covers actually clip around the spots so that's nice. The existing rings are attached with four little zip ties.
Should look well with the clear indicators. (as long as the light output is better than the existing red standard one)

Adding to my comment in #54 - I'm not trying to suggest any of these rear lights have wonky soldering like my halo rings. My 2008 OEM LED rear light is as good as new.
How much?
Feedback?
Any better .. Brighter?

Haven't got around to fitting it yet..... also what arrived is not "exactly" the same as the photo on the website (the one I posted above) the one on the website looks identical in shape to the OEM one.... it's just clear. What arrived doesn't quite look as good quality as the one on the website.
I'm not entirely happy.
