Clearwater lights has developed two very high quality headlight replacement kits for 1999-2004 BMW R1150GS motorcycles.

One utilizes (2) advanced H9 Halogen bulbs and the other includes a further upgraded HID module for the low beam application.

The original factory headlights leave much to be desired with regard to light output and beam pattern. This replacement system eclipses any notion you have of regular motorcycle lights.

This lighting system dramatically improves light output over the stock lights.

Specially sourced headlight modules imported from Germany help produce tremendous results in lighting. You will not believe the light output from these lights. You may not even need auxiliary lights with this upgrade. The sharp beam patterns keep extraneous light from blinding oncoming drivers. In fact, the offensive light from this system is far less than a brand new original set of lights.

By using a combination of original BMW parts and custom CNC machined parts, a true “plug and play” system is a reality. No cutting or splicing of any wires is needed. Just a few basic hand tools are needed for installation. Our technicians can perform the upgrade in less than an hour. A first time user might take 2 hours.

Military grade wiring and connectors insure that more of the available power from your electrical system gets to your lights.

Two high power relays are used to distribute power to the “low” and “high” beam modules. A third relay is used to provide power to an auxiliary power plug that is useful for auxiliary lights, communication equipment or even heated clothing.

Precision “Hella” light modules are used in both “high” and “low” beam applications.
These light modules are used in 200mph Lemans race cars. Their precision optics are something to be seen. With the correct adjustments, these allow a nearly a “daylight”
driving experience.

Our HID version light utilizes a purpose built HID module. Unlike aftermarket “HID” kits, our reflectors were designed by the Hella factory using millions of dollars of R+D capability. You cannot not even come close to the performance of this system by putting an HID “bulb” in your stock halogen assembly. Installation of an HID “bulb” in a non HID designed housing is not only a silly choice, it is illegal.

Highlights

Ultra high quality wiring harness with double size gauge wiring insures complete power delivery to the light modules.

Brilliant reflectors and precision optics put light where it needs to be and not in the eyes of oncoming traffic. These light modules are the only DOT approved replacement headlight available for the 1150GS.

Custom machined connector pins are made from gold plated copper to match the BMW’s unique connector diameters. NO Scotch-locks or wire taps are needed.

All parts of our included harness are soldered and sealed with adhesive filled heat shrink tubing. These are built to last. Abrasion resistant tubing is used to protect wires run to the battery.

Custom modified OEM BMW parts are utilized for a precision “factory” look installation. Once completed, this upgrade looks like it came from the factory.

CNC mounting brackets are used to facilitate original headlight adjustment locations.

This kit is a logical “upgrade” for worn and faded original light modules. And, this is the only smart solution for replacement of a broken original headlight. The cost of this entire light replacement kit is very close to the replacement cost of the original “low” and “high” glass housings alone.





 

Specifics
Two versions are available.

BMW GS1150 Halogen

This kit contains two precision Hella halogen light assemblies. One is optimized for low beam usage and the other is strictly a high beam light. The low beam pattern is precise with a razor sharp cutoff which allows for the most light possible without blinding on coming traffic. Custom machined parts are used along with original equipment BMW parts to make this a TRUE plug and play system. Ultra high quality wiring is used throughout with high current relays controlling all the power to the Hella H9 bulbs. No power is wasted through the factory provided wires or switches. Longevity of your switches is preserved even with higher wattage bulbs. The housings are magnesium alloy with hardened glass lenses. We provide 55 Watt bulbs but higher wattage bulbs can be used without fear of damage. Just be sure your alternator is up to the task.

The Halogen/halogen kit includes (2) 55 watt Hella H9 bulbs. These are among the finest light bulbs available anywhere. The H9 bulb is a newer updated version of the old H7 bulb. The H9 produces even more lumens in a very efficient package. Clearwater kits come with extra heavy duty wiring and relays so you can upgrade the bulbs to 100 watt versions without concern. The Hella housings are magnesium and can withstand the higher heat of the 100 watt bulbs.

The high beam is optimized for extended light way down the road. Each bulb is controlled by its own relay and the high quality harness has a third relay for auxiliary use such as heated garments or electronic accessories. The auxiliary circuit can supply up to 30 amps. The entire harness uses soldered connections and adhesive lined shrink tubing all covered in a tough abrasion resistant sheath.  If you ride an 1150GS, you know how bad the original headlights are. This kit will give your bike a new “outlook” on night time riding. You have to see the improvement to believe it.

In order to facilitate a clean and factory looking install, all parts needed were either machined from billet or sourced from BMW. Even the BMW specific connector pins were individually machined from copper rod stock AND then gold plated. These connector pins are not available anywhere in the world except in the factory BMW connectors.

This upgrade takes 30—45 minutes to complete using a screwdriver. No wires need to be cut and the original lights can easily be replaced.  The connectors simply snap into place and the original headlight adjustment screws work just like factory. A custom machined light cover is included to make your bike look like it just rolled of the production line, except this time with MUCH brighter lights. These lights use DOT approved projector assemblies that are used in 200 mph Le Mans race cars.

BMW GS1150 HID

This kit uses all of the above parts and wiring except it includes an even brighter HID Low beam assembly and quality ballast. The same precision H9 high beam unit is used to preserve the DOT required “flash to pass” function. The color spectrum of this HID is closely matched to the high output halogen so they work well together as a pair. Same simple installation as the halogen version. Much more light output with even less power usage. More expensive for certain, but worth every penny if you need lots of light and are on an electrical power diet.

The HID kit includes (1) 55 watt halogen High beam assembly and bulb and (1) D2S HID burner with a precision engineered HID specific housing/lens. This is NOT a simple HID upgrade kit. This combination HID/housing/Burner assembly was engineered in a multi-million dollar research facility. High quality ballast is included. This unit is so precise that is was awarded a DOT approval. The amount of LOW beam light this unit produces is unbelievable. For the ultimate in light on your 1150GS, there is NO better solution for lighting in an original headlight location.
