Presuming you mean the USA (don't know if Europe models are different), I changed my little bulbs with these. US models use small bulbs that come on in both high and low beam chambers and run constantly. Low beam is always on. I’m a Notary Public. RESPECT MY AUTHORITY! |

Here's the pages from my 2018 owner's manual.

Zitat von R50MTW im Beitrag #5 is it definitely a faulty LED? Have you checked the daylight sensor is not obscured and that the lamp is not deactivated?

Zitat von R50MTW im Beitrag #5 You probably need little hands. Looks like I cut off the part about removing the horn.

Not to derail, but in the USA, low beam must always be on...it's not optional. So why the DRL on EU models? DRLs are for vehicles that let you turn off your headlights.

Zitat von R50MTW im Beitrag #11 When we bought our 2016 bikes I purchased the shop manual from the dealer. Another tool that's handy when dealing with body panels is a part fiche. You can look at the pictures of the panels and see where all the fasteners are located. It also help to get the different size fasteners in the correct location when reinstalling. Here's one I use. https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/DiagramsMa...54&rnd=09082020 Lee |

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #10 The DRL is on by default (if Auto is selected) and goes off in poor light conditions. Low beam comes on to replace it. You can override this setting and switch manually but there is always a light on somewhere. It is not recommended to run at night with the DRL on and if full beam is selected it goes out and has to be manually switched on again. It's a nice feature and improves visibility in daylight. Why it was excluded in some countries must be down to local legislation, I can't think of any other reason to leave off a useful addition. Alan |

Zitat von Alda im Beitrag #13Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #10 When the law went into affect in the USA that motorcycles always had to have a headlight on, LED DRLs were not available. The old law has never been updated to approve Daytime Running Lights as a option.
