This is my brake light mod.

I have a R1200GS 2010, with the led brake light

I have bought this brake light flasher.

Its easy to attach into the wireing. When the brake lever is applied, the led brake light gives four short flashes,
followed by four slower flashes, and then goes steady on. The canbus generates no fault code :wink2:

This is a quick video on our youtube channel:

Is this too good to be true? $6.99 delivered? Has anyone installed this device?

Check out the Suprabrake3.

Plug and play and programmable. Works fine for me on a 2017 R1200GS. I will say the seat rail on the back has to come off but it's not a real issue, takes about 30 minutes.

Just tested my $6.99 12V LED Controller Box Flash Module Universal Motorcycle Car Brake Stop Light.

Just out of curiosity and safety I hooked the device up to an LED conversion style socket two way bulb and hot wired the module into my Centech - AP 1 fused power block. Tested just the way it should. 3-4 quick bursts, followed by 3-4 longer bursts then a solid brake light. Next step is hard wire the unit into my stop light harness.

Okay. Just received my Superbright LEDs brake light/ tail light replacement bulbs. I purchased 2 styles for comparison.

2005 r 1200 GS

#One, 1157-w19-wv LED bulb- Dual function 19 LED Forward firing cluster Retrofit. When I install it in place of the old incandescent 1157 bulb it causes a code/fault light to be generated.

#Two, 1157-NW27-T 1157 LED Bulb - Dual Function 27 SMD LED Tower. Upon insertion into socket it strobes and generates a fault code/signal.

Called S B LED and they advised me to install,inline, their RL 650 k resistor. Does this sound correct?

If so, do I need 2 resistors one for each power line for the single socket? I did order 2. That made sense to me.

Hi Southpaw,

I think that a ride to your BMW dealer, and ask them to change the settings to a led rear light.
Those resistors works well allthough they produce a lot of heat, as they have to fool the canbus software that there is this 5/21Watt lamp, you know.

Hmmm..... there is a disclaimer that comes with the resistors warning one to keep them away from painted surfaces as they may melt the paint. Aaaarrggghhh. Maybe I don't need the LED or I can just live with the "light out" warning.
