HI guys,

 

Based on input from several of you, I just ordered these:

I am happy with my P-3 brake lights. And Knifemaker can verify how bright they are. He is always looking at them. lmao.gif

What's the bulb you're referring to?

Jerry Skeene in our local BMW club sells the P3 system. Quite a few locals have them installed on their hexheads.

Jon,

 

I don't think it is a new product. I saw it demo'd on a new K1200GT and it is extremely bright. I'm guessing it is a PIAA aftermarket bulb with BMW's name on it... grin.gif

 

FYI, I put PIAA bulbs in my R1150RT and they made a huge difference in light output. Only problems were that they are expensive and don't seem to last as long as "stock" bulbs...

 

Of course, YMMV!

 

Cheers,

I'll check it out the next time I go to the dealer. I now have Osram Silverstars, which are a distinct improvement over the stock bulbs that came with the R12RT (2005). I think I'll eventually end up with an HID high beam, but with prices ranging from under $100 to over $700 and assessments all over the map, I'm not ready to jump in yet.

I'm dropping off some BT 021s I am having installed on the RT tomorrow. I will ask the dealer to be more specific...

 

I am leaning toward the Hella Micro Lights with Martin Fabrication mounts, but at $600+ I gotta save more pennies!

They work GREAT in Mine and Tina's bikes, as well as many local club member bikes.
