I am a new owner of a 2016 R1200RT. This is my first BMW and my first bike using H7 low beam bulbs and H1 high beam bulbs. I have a three part question concerning improving the light output without going to HID.
1. I have done some reading here and have settled on using Osram H1 rallye bulbs to replace the high beams as the best solution for me considering bulb life and increased light output for the high beams. Any input on this option??
2. What would you guys recommend for replacement H7 low beam bulbs. I need high quality replacement bulbs that will not cause the bike to throw codes while increasing the low beam output as much as reliably possible .
3. I opted for the optional aux driving lights. Not bad for additional lighting close in but not what I really want. I am thinking of replacing these lights with a set of LED's that will really reach out. Has anyone done a direct replacement using the BMW aux light brackets and the rest of the BMW aux light kit with more powerful LED lights or would you recommend just installing a second set of LED driving lights???? BMW specific aftermarket sources that have bike specific LED replacements would be appreciated as I am new to this brand.
