Option (a): Give the bike to BMW and let them supply and fit. I just happened to find this when searching and wanted to use it by way of example: The plastic mounts that attach to the lights and hold them onto the the MaMo light bars were about 0.5mm too narrow. A minute or so with the Dremel sorted that. I'm quite pleased with the results, personally. Oh, and this is what the can-bus gizmo looks like under the pillion seat: IMG_20190324_123627020_HDR.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Cheers Paul B. PS: Other can-bus controllers are available here. |

Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #1 The BMW lights only come with a on off switch. Don't know who makes them.

I did explain he could have had the full canbuss controller and functionality for a lot less. He understandably wasn't very happy

Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #1 Hi Paul, I just purchased the MaMo mounts and am thinking about going the same route you did with the lights and controller. Couple of questions for you. Are these lights "wonder wheel" friendly with the EZcan controller? Are you still pleased with the lights and how are they holding up? Thanks in advance for any info. you can send my way. Regards Steve

Zitat von sgoat im Beitrag #8 Hi Steve, No, nothing interacts with the Wonder Wheel other than BMW nav units, afaik, which is kinda short sighted of BMW... And yes, still pleased with the lights (purely the extra visibility - they win no points for style in my book) and the way the turn off on the same side the indicators are activated (or flash when you beep the horn, etc). All part of the HexEZCan functionality. And they're holding up fine  Cheers Paul B. |

Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #9 Hi Paul, it's time for a little surprise: just push the "wonder wheel" to the right for three seconds with your thumb. Then turn the "wonder wheel" up or down and look what happens ......  Regards, Robert |

Zitat von Robert the Brews im Beitrag #10Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #9 Hi Robert, I'd read about that functionality, but as my lights are el cheapo 2-wire ON or OFF (no 3rd wire, which dimmable lights usually have) I didn't think it would work on mine. I'll have a play in the garage this evening, and let you know if - by some strange HexEZCan sorcery - they are now dimmable. Cheers Paul B. |
