- After years of riding through dark unlit roads in the early mornings to meet with my riding buddies, I finally acquired a set of LED replacement headlights for the BMW S1000RR.
And the result in comparison to the factory fitted bulb headlights is chalk and cheese. The illumination is fantastic, very good lighting off the sides of the road, and the standout was illumination around the corner on twisty roads.
Highly recommended.
These particular LED lights are available from Matt Gecko LEDS at the website below:

UPDATE ON LIGHT ADJUSTMENT
I spoke to Matt Gecko about adjusting high beam and he advised that washers can be added to the rear mounts to slightly raise or lower the headlight beams.

Just got mine in yesterday! So pumped to test them out
you'll like em :) ... I had to adjust mine with washers to get rid of the gap between high and low beam and I also pulled them out and blackout the part of the lights that was shining back behind the fairing .. now it's mint.
I reckon it would be great if you could wire up a switch that only enables the DRL’s for day time riding
I would have to agree
Thanks for the review, I just ordered these lights after watching your review, I am in NSW was going to order from hoglights but figured these were the same. I have watched all your reviews on s1000rr, I have just bought a 2018 and love it, still learning things about it. Hope install is easier when the lights arrive, appreciate any tips.
thats awesome David, I believe you'll be pretty happy with the lighting of these. They're fairly easy to fit after you remove the front fairing. I found it quite intuitive once I worked out which bolts hold it on. Let me know what you think about the lights.

Yep will do.

Hi
I am having trouble with lining the pins up on the right hand side plug, the larger light I have everything else but just get the plug to go in, did you have trouble with this ?
@@davidkroh5576 I didn't have any issues at all David, old ones out, new ones in, plugs fitted perfectly. Maybe you have the pin / plug upside down? Not sure what else it could be mate.

hello I am the owner of a BMW S1000XR 2017, do the original wirings fit these headlights without making any changes? The video is missing the part of the assembly thanks
Led globs my man, I have them on my hp4 Sydney cricket ground. Nice look.
cheers mate, and much better lighting too, those HP4s were the best model made
@@TheBikeStigcheck out my my ceramic coating on my bikes armor shield, I've only got 2 vid lol ha. I will get some content going. CHEERS
@@grider8344 I will mate, I'll go take a look, cheers
Is there a E Mark on it ?
There is, i asked the customer service from MattGecko, they showed me pictures with E-Marks (E4) on each lense..
depends where you live but u should be all right
I got the same lights for my BMW S 1000 double R but when I installed them, my signals were kind of ruined. What is that cost? Please help me out let me know where I got a tackle to have to turn signals again appreciate it thank you.
sorry to hear that mate, I am not an expert on that, I just reviewed the lights and have not had an issue at all with mine. Id recommend doing a bit of a google search and see if someone else has suffered from the same problem and fixed it. Cheers mate
Hello!! It does not accuse burnt lamp error ??
Congratulations from Brazil!!

hey mate, I have not had a problem on my bike, the lights work perfectly by simply plugging in without any error codes.
@@TheBikeStig Thank you brother!!
Were the headlights easy to plug into factory harness? Any modification needed ?
zero modification, simply bolt in and they fit same as the factory originals.
Worth upgrading from stock???
a definite yes from me mate, only way ive been able to avoid the wallabies out my way in the early morning :-)
the headlights are legal in Germany…???🧐
I don't know Marc, no idea. They're fine here in Australia, I would imagine they're not an issue over there as they don't really change anything other than give you more light.
@Marc Christian LaBomba weißt du mittlerweile zufällig ob die in Deutschland zugelassen sind? Würde mir die auch gerne auf meine RR bauen.
@@enzzmo998 bekommst du nicht zugelassen, da meine E Nummer…😣 nicht mal mit Sonderabnahme…😣
Gibt es kein Weg diese schönen Dinger legal zu benutzen 🥺🥺
@@Toxxistyle denk mal nicht, nicht mal ne Einzelabnahme wird man da machen…🤷🏽♂️ und die Dinger sind auch eindeutig zu teuer, wenn es mit Zulassung währe, würde ich ja sagen der Preis ist gerechtfertigt…👌🏽
How was ordering from the US during this pandemic? I’m keen to get these for mine but am worried if it will be a hassle. Commenting from Melbourne
Im in North Queensland, I can't remember how long it took to get these but it wasn't that bad actually.
U know u never said anything about that space between light and fairing plastic. I’m not sure how it fits in your bike because I see you have carbon nose but when I installed these light’s on my bike that space around the light it’s just not a perfect fit and night time u can see a lot of light escaping inside the nose. Hit me up if you come up with some kind of solution, I like your videos.
hmmm, I have carbon panels coming so will be interesting to see what happens. I don't have a solution mate.
I finally fitted all of the Ilmberger Carbon panels, did not have any issues at all with the lights fitting, they dropped in perfectly. But what I did do is paint the sides of the LED lights so the side light did not come through behind the nose panel and it is much better than what it was previously. Hope that helps.
is there a way to adjust them??? my low beams point too low and my high beams are too high.
I ended up using washers to adjust the spacing where they are mounted in the main fairing, have not had any issues since raising the low beam slightly and lowering the high beam slightly.
@@TheBikeStig could you by chance help me out with placement /how many washers you used
@@Smilldoni have the same problem, did you solve it?
@@lucamlcoch8637 nope
@@Smilldon ok thx, so fuck it hahah im gona drive like this, if i get a solution im gona write you
Legal in italy??
I have no idea mate, I cant see why they would not be as they are simply lights that do the same job as the factory lights only a lot better.
Is the price in us dollars??
sorry for slow response mate, this is in Aussie dollars
The same sets are on aliexpress tho😅
everyone is selling them now, lol
