BMW Motorcycle F800GS uses H7 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers 2008 to 2017 model years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The BMW Motorcycle F800GS uses the H7 bulb type for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across all model years from 2008-2017.
The H7 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning each lamp housing serves only one lighting function, which is why the F800GS requires separate H7 bulbs for the high beam and low beam circuits.
H7 bulbs operate at 12 volts and consume 55 watts, placing them in the standard halogen output range for motorcycle headlight applications.
The H7 uses a PX26d base, a two-pin bayonet-style connector. A bulb with a different base type is not physically compatible with the F800GS headlight socket, regardless of other similarities in size or wattage.
The H7 is an ECE-rated standard, indicating it meets European and international lighting regulations. It also carries approval for use in the United States and Japan, making it a widely available replacement type across global markets.
Because both the high beam and low beam positions on the F800GS (2008-2017) share the same H7 specification, a single bulb type covers both replacement needs, though the two positions require separate individual bulbs.
