Beware - I tried different headlamp bulbs (100w) in my R1200ST which has canbus and it refused to light both bulbs - "canbus detected a fault".
Instead I run two LED Spotlights that I got from e bay for £19 (metal body and brackets 3 Leds in each - Glass lenses these are wired via switch from the battery (therefore avoiding canbus) search ebay for this Number 121918072777 . They are very bright and low consumption.

There would appear to be a surfeit of prolixity and sesquipedalian content today please do not use a big word when a singularly un-loquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity

I have ridden in absolute downpours since fitting them without issue. The wires come out the back through rubber grommets.f90x wrote:They look good but the lack of waterproofing would bother me
"Anti-collision, anti-dust and splash-proof"
