BMW LED Auxiliary lights

[runnerhiker]

I had my dealer install the BMW LED Auxiliary lights and I am quite pleased with the results: how the lights work, and the installation by the dealer.

First, it was not cheap, $1,100 for parts and $400 for labor. I wanted the BMW integration onto the bike, that is, the on/off switch on the handlebar and the green light symbol on the TFT display. I got a complete parts list, the handlebar switch and its wiring was $175 for parts. By comparison, a Clearwater Darla set would have been $800 parts w/o an on/off switch plus labor.

The on/off switch on the handlebars works as expected, the green symbol on the TFT display is good too, Their light beam is like flood lights, not spotlights, and it lights the road ahead the same forward distance as the low beam. They light up the ditch past the edges of the road on both sides. They act like cornering lights, when leaned over into a curve, they light up the road about two feet to the side of the bike and about 0-20 feet in front of the front wheel.

I really got these light for daytime visibility, and I like the position about halfway up from the ground, making a triangle with the headlight.

Here are some pictures.
