Folks,

I have just fitted an LED tail light panel and idicators on my F800S, from Nippy Normans. The same panels also fit the R1200GS and the indicators can be used on the R1200S.

The indicator panels also incorporate a brake light strip, for added visibility whilst braking.

Here is the rear of my bike before fitting the new lights:



Here's the LED tail light panel:



And here it all is fitted, with a new clear tail light lense:



Ignition on:



brakes on:



Turning right:



... whilst braking:



Whadaya think?

Cheers,

Paul

Like the indicators, but TBH I reckon the stop / tail light looked better red! Am about to get the LED panel myself for reliability and brightness, but I'll keep the stock lens (I have a red bike).

Not sure about £50 for a PAIR of indicators though - were they the "red baron" version? I might have to stretch to a set, that's how awesome they look. Thanks for the write-up!

I have them on my 11S too, and love em. They are very bright, much brighter than stock, and I love the on/off character of LED's as opposed to the fade in/out of bulbs. Much more visible.

Kept the red taillight lens though, as I feel it looks better on my yellow tail, but the indicators are clear.

I reckon the same - clear indicators are good but I'm sticking with the red tail light (phoenix grey bike) as I think it looks better. Everything else is clear, but somehow I think the bike needs the red lens for contrast or something

I have just posted the pictures of our 1100S rear lights on my blog. The extra brake lights in the indicators show up the same through my white lenses and Judes amber lenses.

LH one a bit pink - Innit?

Julian,

Just my poor photographic skills

I'd like some LED indicators but don't like the idea of then having it fit a resistor to get them flashing properly.
I've just got a 25 LED stop/tail light - looks just like standard and is as bright as normal bulb.
I've also got a 6x white LED pilot light, which looks rather good.

It's partly cosmetic, partly for reliability and partly to save a few joules of energy for those heated grips should I feel the need to use them.

EDIT - Cost £15.05 including VAT and delivery from http://www.ultraleds.co.uk and was delivered next day.

The tail/signal conversions as seen in this thread and available through Nippy Normans, are plug and play. No need to add resistors or anything, as all is integrated on the little board.

Hello,
Thanks for the post.
I have to know from where have you bought that LED tail light panel??
Because It's really good to see. And I also want to buy that.
Thanks

Hi,

As you can see from the date of the original post, that was 11 years ago. I bought them from a site called Nippy Normans but after a quick check on there they don't stock them any more. Given how long the R1100S has been out of production, you might struggle to find a source for these now. I don't recall who manufactured them, but might be worth checking with places like Wunderlich.

Regards,

Paul
