New Member Introductions » LED high & low beam fitting advice

Hi all. Just received an all-in-one LED bulb kit for my R1200RS and having tried to fit one, I'm struggling to get the black cover back on due to the size of the unit and wiring. Has anyone done one of these and can you advise the best way to fit? I got the kit from LedPerf. Thanks in advance.

The LED bulbs differ in design. I used an ADV one on my 1200, and had to use a hole saw to open up the cap.

AFAIK nothing bad happened due to the enclosure being "vented".

You could also fit the cap and then use a rubber overcap or fabricate something and paint it black.

I bought an LED kit from Tapuled for the RS which included deeper rear covers. They were still a snug fit and a bit fiddly to get on but once done all good.

Still need to take her outside in the dark and check the beam adjustment but will get that done.

Thanks for this. Managed to source some Hard Plastic LED Headlight Dust Seal Cover Caps which are on their way. They have a deeper back so should cover the light but leave enough space for the fan. I managed to try one and they're pretty bright. Also installed LED side lights which work just as well. Certainly gives my 2016 plate RS a newer feel. Andrew.

Thanks Aussie Import, I managed to source some Hard Plastic LED Headlight Dust Seal Cover Caps which are on their way. Didn't want to start cutting and especially given the LED kit I bought is the all-in-one design so protrudes quite far out of the housing. Ordered these: Werbung: https://www.ebay.com/itm/312630603096

Hi Fugly

Did you have to install an external resistor?

Thank you

Hi Fugly

No I didn't, just watch the polarity as I got one wrong and nothing worked and had an error message on the dash but having read the instructions (WTF!) I just reversed the connector and all good

@Fugly

Thank you for the reply. I will make sure I read the instructions :)

Have a good day

Where did you purchase the LED which included deeper covers?
