BMW R1200 GSA auxiliary lights DIY repair. I thought they were beyond repair so stripped them down anyway just for a look inside them. Turns out I cleaned the terminals on one of them and it began working again. The one with the crack was left inside over night. I re assembled them to put back on the bike until I sourced a replacement only to find them both working!!. So, before they got wet again I attempted this slightly naive repair. If I manage to get a replacement bulb I'll just keep it as a spare👍

Hi James I bought a 1200 from a dealership 2nd hand not long after I washed it 1 LED failed and was not covered under warranty…so I bit the bullet and paid for a new light@£199 Then the other failed,I kept the 1st set,I found your vid and thought I’d have a go and bingo the pair of failed lights work after drying out and doing the hot glue “thing”,I just wished I’d found your vid first and saved me £400….thanks anyhows👍

Great news, I'm pleased for you. I don't mind using main dealers when I have to, my local one, bowkers in Preston, UK are very good but when you can save a bit of cash like this it's terrific.

Your tip saved me from buying a replacement, thanks.

That's great👍 it's nice to have some feed back. BMW is a great product but if we can save a few 💰💵££ here and there it helps. Regards from England

I have the same problem, this is going to be another winter project, thanks

@trondbjo Год назад

Thanks for sharing. How did you unplug the power plug to the light? Is there a catch or lip which needs to be disenagaged somehow, or did you just pull it straight off?

@jameswalton8532 Год назад

Hi, don't pull it straight off, use a thin electric style screwdriver to release the tabs at the bottom of the holes you can see👍

@fabriziomargaroli4398 Год назад

Which holes?

@jameswalton8532 Год назад

@@fabriziomargaroli4398 hi, if you push a very thin screwdriver between the plug and the outside of the housing it should release a retaining catch which then allows you to pull the plug out. Hope that helps.

Hi! My Right AUX light suddenly did not work after I wash my bike. I didn't use any pressure wash, just water hose it... How did you remove the connectors, I have a hard time trying to remove it... What are the things to look out for? Just the clip terminal?

@jameswalton8532 2 года назад

Hi, I used a small but long, flat head screwdriver, follow the wire down into the plug and you should see where to release the fastening. It's a simple catch, just hard to access. Let me know how you get on, good luck. James

@TheSilmarallion 8 месяцев назад

How did you get the connector off? I cant figure it out.

@jameswalton8532 8 месяцев назад

Hi, in the video at the point 3min 43 sec you can see a tiny tab on the outside of the plug. If I remember correctly you have to disengage this tab from its housing using a small thin screwdriver. That should allow you to pull the plug apart. Hope that helps and good luck. Regards James

I need to remove my fog lamps but finding it difficult to unclip and disconnect them can you tell me where I need to stick the flat screwdriver to disconnect them

@jameswalton8532 5 месяцев назад

Hi, it's difficult to explain, you have to push a very small screwdriver down the side of the plug to release the catch. Sorry if that doesn't help much but get a good light in there and you should see it!

@andrewpringle5568 5 месяцев назад

@@jameswalton8532 many thanks for the reply I didn’t need to remove them in the end , the reason I had to remove them was to register bike on Spanish plates but got the engineer to add them onto the COC document and it sailed through the Spanish ITV test after adding them on to the document

@jameswalton8532 5 месяцев назад

@@andrewpringle5568 that's interesting, are you saying that if they didn't get added to that document, you can't have them on you bike in Spain?

Hi, I didn't get a reply and I did not pursue it as I managed to dry mine out and got them working again. Maybe try email them yourself at this address, info@clive-group.ru I got a reply from osram in Germany, they would not sell me the bulb, I presume they have a 'understanding' with BMW!!! Good luck👍
