Cyclops LED Headlight Conversion BMW G650GS

[@ct026]

How much are these with shipping to the UK? I hear about these products a lot Adventure Rider Radio. This looks like a serious bit of kit. Great video. Many thanks. 👍🏻

[@erikmotoman9190]

I love it. Fabulous upgrade over stock H4. Installed one on a 1994 BMW R 1100 RS and another is going on my 1974 BMW R 75/6 restoration project.

Thanks! This made my instal a snap, I didn't even notice it came with color picture instructions.

[@JakeThornberry]

What a wonderful how-to video, David - very clear explanation, step-by-step instructions, good production, tips, estimated job time, and I like that you list the tools needed for the job. The only way it could’ve potentially been better is if you’d done a before and after comparison, even though it’s very clear the LED’s output is far superior. Liked and subscribed!

Have you tried the new LED headlight for these bikes yet? I just did a review of mine... mixed results.

[@Sertao2013]

I don't see it on your web site ?

[@HidalgoRides]

I don't sell Cyclops any longer. Semi-retired now, needed to cut my offerings and reduce workload. Contact Cyclops directly.

FYI, a driver can get hot too. You might want to think where and how you secure it in place...

[@bestrestproducts648]

Helonaut SR - there aren't many options for placing the driver. Small black box. For the low beam it fits behind the cap, tucked between the outer and inner housings. It will get some cooling benefits from the fan on the back of the bulb. For the high beam the driver is mounted outside the cap. It's cooled by ambient airflow. In any case I've NEVER heard of any damage to the bike (caused by the driver or the LED bulb), and I've only heard of one driver that failed. And that was not heat related. On the other hand there are many reports of headlight housing damage caused from the heat generated by stock halogen bulbs.

[@rodrigopaz4564]

Doesn’t it get any water in, because of the fan?

[@bestrestproducts648]

The rubber boot seals against the body of the bulb that fits in side the headlight assembly. The fan external, but there's no passage for water to go past the body of the bulb. So the Cyclops light is as waterproof as one could expect. The rubber boot creates a waterproof seal.

@@bestrestproducts648 thank you so much for your answer!!! I’m totally getting one

[@rodrigopaz4564]

Just installed on my 2014 g650gs, awsome light, it really is great. But on the other side, the blue light on my cluster for the high beam stopped working. When I turn the key on, it blinks as supposed but when I turn on the high beam it doesnt work, Any ideas? Is this normal?

[@bestrestproducts648]

@@rodrigopaz4564 so the high beam IS working, but the instrument indicator ISN'T? Confirm. Never heard of that happening.

[@rodrigopaz4564]

@@bestrestproducts648 that’s correct, At first it blinked twice, then stopped working.

[@ronalddsants4216]

Very impresive. Can this be installed in the same way on a BMW F650GS 2000 ??? If possible, any idea wich model it should be ??? Thanks Best Regards

[@Reichsritter]

It probably fits on most h4 slot lights

[@lucazanotta1743]

Holy s... -20 Degrees celsius in your garage?

[@bestrestproducts648]

That was a warm day...

[@Reichsritter]

@@bestrestproducts648 -20 would be very very cold

[@ataxilda]

Which spacer did you end up using?

[@bestrestproducts648]

the thin one

[@ataxilda]

BestRest Products I don’t think mine came with an additional spacer. It does have like a rubber ring there but nothing extra

[@bestrestproducts648]

@@ataxilda early versions had spacers. Later production did away with the spacers because of a redesign, making the spacers obsolete

[@ataxilda]

BestRest Products thank you sir, really appreciate it

[@liladultman856]

Trying to figure out if my g650gs has a bad bulb since low beam doesn't work but high beam does. But it looks like low beam and high beam share the same bulb? Whats the small bulb for, parking light?

[@HidalgoRides]

Your bike has an h4 bulb. It contains both high beam and low beam filaments. If you're not getting any low beam that means the bulb is bad. There's also a tiny bulb in the headlight housing. That's a parking light and has no useful purpose.

[@liladultman856]

@@HidalgoRides awesome, thank you for the reply

[@MsEricksurf]

This model is AC or DC Power? Thanks

[@bestrestproducts648]

Erick Freitas its 12 volt DC

[@bestrestproducts648]

Install is the same for both bikes. Here's the link: bestrestproducts.com/shop/cyclops-led-lights/cyclops-h4-bulb-7000l/

[@ItsOnlyFil]

Don't waste your money. I have the exact same bike than in the video. G650GS. I purchased it, installed it, thinkinf it would get me more light on the road at night. It gets more light everywhere else than on the road. Total waste of money. If someone wants mine I can sell it to you.

[@bestrestproducts648]

Giles - you obviously didn't watch the entire video, or read all the instructions in the box. If your beam pattern doesn't project the way you want it, that's because you didn't use the included spacers. They adjust the location of the LED emitters forward or rearward, in relation to the focal point of the headlight housing reflectors. We discuss that in the video. Your situation is a clear case improper installation. And user error. Am I picking on you or calling you stupid? No, but I am calling you out for not knowing what your talking about.

[@ItsOnlyFil]

@@bestrestproducts648 There was no spacers included. Feel free to send me some if you wish, I can try again.
