I found these AWESOME roundel lights from Shroedie, and couldn't wait to get them installed! What I love about them is the added side visibility on the bike, not only as running lights but with the blinkers as well.
Anything that makes you more visible on the road is critical, and a fantastic product like this looks amazing doing it!
Required parts and tools:
Schroedie Roundel light kit

Plastic trim tool kit
Drill with 1/8th (or 3.5mm) and 3/8ths (10mm) bit
T25 torx driver
plyers
Nice to have:
Good headlamp

Nice! Can’t to see what BMW has in store for us in 22 for this great bike.

@donpetryna4356 3 года назад

Awesome video.Your detail of the install is fantastic. Lights look great... hoping you are planning on doing more DIY on the 1600.

@BMWDIYGuy 3 года назад

Definitely my goal.. projects for the 1600.have slowed down a bit with the turn of the weather.

@willwrb 3 года назад

Excellent instructions, thank you.

@BMWDIYGuy 3 года назад

Thank you! Happy to help!

I looked at the fairing and said "Dude, got 'em on the wrong side." Then I figured you swap them back and the plugs we the same, so all good. I like them, may have to get a pair for my RT once I get my my other lights installed

@BMWDIYGuy 3 года назад

Great catch and yeah.. figured that out once I realized I had swapped them somehow. Thanks man, and they look GREAT!

@jameschu8376 Год назад

Love it and great presentation, was very sad to see they don't have one for the 2016 R1200rt lc as I need this in my life now I've seen it!!

@BMWDIYGuy Год назад

Thank you and can't hurt to ask, right? Maybe your suggestion will help them make one

@jameschu8376 Год назад

@@BMWDIYGuy sent a request, worst case the from 2014 the roundel is raised up on a bit of flashing instead of flush to the fairing so could just modify that and slot one of these into it, just a bit of extra work..

@BMWDIYGuy Год назад

@@jameschu8376 great idea!

@pvpanrijder 3 года назад

Hi, do you have a vidoe to install thos fog lamps too? Looks awesum those extra blinkers, but here in Holland the blue isnt alloud so will look for other collour.

@BMWDIYGuy 3 года назад

I dont have a video on the fog lights, but Schrodie will give you a choice of light colors too! 8)

@fredzuccarelli 2 года назад

Sooo glad I found your video!!! Do you think anything has changed or is different for my 2018 k1600b??? Thanks again!!!!

@BMWDIYGuy 2 года назад

I suspect it's very similar.. happy to help!

@fredzuccarelli 2 года назад

I'm about to tackle this project with the help of your video. My bike is a 2018 k1600b and I'm worried that my fairing removal is going to be too difficult for this less inept guy!😱😱 What year/model is your bike?

@BMWDIYGuy 2 года назад

I am sure you will do great! It is a 2012

@barryprescod3774 3 года назад

Good job. I may of missed it. But where did you get the lights from?

@BMWDIYGuy 3 года назад

Link is in the video description 8)

@m99343 3 года назад

Stefan - does your bike have a canbus system? My 2019 1250GS has canbus and I want to install these lights. I’ve got a CANSmart controller for other auxiliary lights but the wiring you did seems very simple. Other than……. How do you find a switched live? I have been told that using the aux power socket is flawed if you plug your bike into the mains each night via a battery conditioner as it the turns on the led lights!

@BMWDIYGuy 3 года назад

Great questions.. so in the case of the battery conditioner, it did not turn on the LEDs, so that at least was fine. Your bike being significantly newer, there may be some changes I am not familiar with to be certain. I believe my bike has canbus as well, but just wired these lights very easily and works great, no issues, works perfectly.

@UacQNPLL7BXQVVcOECwa 3 года назад

Here is a idea. The disc version turn signal mounted at the end of hand grips. How can i get cable through the grip to turn signal

@BMWDIYGuy 3 года назад

Now that is a wild idea!

@stevebrucher6388 Год назад

I would be concerned that in some States a Blue LED lit constantly would be illegal. I personally would have installed a switch in the feed line for the constant on light. Is it distracting while you're riding?

@BMWDIYGuy Год назад

Zero issues so far, no problems at night or being distracting and no issues with law enforcement as well.

@novamp60 2 года назад

BMW DIY GUY I liked your video where I can buy the lights end thanks for your information

@neelg6911 Год назад

I’ll could use your old roundells! I can’t find just the metal badge in that size anywhere!

@BMWDIYGuy Год назад

Sadly they are gone..

@gerrygraham7 4 месяца назад

Not sure why cannot use a bmw y connector instead of splitter Something I’m missing?

@BMWDIYGuy 4 месяца назад

You absolutely could.. did the install using the kit, so only what they provided.

@talatakdogan4864 Год назад
