Electronics » LED turn signals

Stupidly, the US 1250 comes with regular turn signals while the Euro version has LED. I found a set of LED turn signals I had used on my S1000RR in my garage. I tried installing them on my 1250 but I got an error on the dash. Do I need to have the dealer program the bike for them or what?

Lol. Only because I found them in the garage and didn't want them to go to waste if I could use them. Otherwise I'll deal with the OEM blinkers.

We have the BMW LED turn signals on our R1200RSs.
The dealer programmed the bikes to accept them.
BMW NA may not allow this anymore.

I had BMW LED turn signals installed on my 2016 1200RS at purchase. There used to be a kit from BMW for these, so was is possible on the old RS. It used to be under the "options" tab for the 1200RS, same place to get the panniers.

You can also buy a set of four LED turn signals that are CANBUS compatible from Dynamic Motorrad for $120. I have those and they work great - much better than stock and just plug and play. Not as inexpensive as ones you already have, of course!

I really like the dynamic motorrad option. Does anyone know a relatively inexpensive option for modulated (flashing) tail lights?

Lee remembers everything. I had the 30 second discussion with my dealer about this and promptly forgot about it because nothing changed. I still have BMW LED turn signals, and did not get the pannier reflectors.

Seems like it was a recall in the US to remove the BMW LED turn signals.
I told my dealer I wanted to keep ours and I did not want the required reflectors stuck in the middle of the saddlebag lids.

Edit: I found our recall letters.
It's a safety recall from the USA NHTSA.
Recall Campaign No. 17E-052

The NHTSA is saying the reflective area of the BMW LED turn signals is too small.

Did the same thing. I had the BMW LED turn signals on my S1000R and installed them on my R1250RS. You need to solder 4 resistors, one on each turn signal in order to fool the ECU. Dealer told me they can’t do the software update anymore since the recall on the led turn signals.

I used two packs of these, the 21.5 ohm ones and it worked perfectly
