Upgrade low and high beam bulbs

brownie0486

Well-known member
2012 r1200GS,

I want to replace the factory bulbs with brighter bulbs.

What's the consensus from the members on which bulbs to get. HID? Halogen?

H7 I presume like the original bulbs but is there anything to worry about with taxing the electrical system in the upgrades?

Thanks

I’ll be watching this thread I am in the same boat as you! I find the stock headlight to be pretty weak sauce.
 
I have upgraded all previous Beemers including my current 2012 1200 gs (like yours) with CYCLOPS LED LIGHTS. This includes the LED parking bulb for a perfect setup. No issues with wiring, it's plug and play with clear instructions.

Contact Cyclops by phone if you have any further questions. Well worth the investment imo.

All the best!
