Just bought an '08 K1200S after several years of looking and I had a burned out low beam head lamp bulb. Easy enough to remove and replace the obviously toasted H7 bulb; however, the new bulb also did not work and I still got the LAMPF! warning when I powered on the bike. I swapped the bulb...
These videos show a close up of replacing an H7 headlight on a 2007 R1200RT. They were taken after removing the entire headlamp assy following the instructions in these articles

Looking for comparisons of a 2012 RT dual low beam versus the 2014 SINGLE low beam, as far as lightening distance/seeing the road?
Anybody who has had both bikes would be the source for comparisons. Not interested in theory but empirical comparisons.
Ride Safe,

Thought I should detail this mini-disaster and subsequent workaround in case this happens to any of my MOA club mates.
I was on my way to a local club meeting one Saturday this past October on my new F800GT. Turned on the ignition, the computer check did its pre-flight inside the instrument pod...
This morning started like any other, but I made a 20 minute stop on my way to work this morning. When I fired the bike back up I noticed that the Front Headlight Indicator Warning light was on. Thinking that this wasn't a critical issue I continued on and made it to work, knowing I had a few...
