BMW Motorcycle K1200R headlight bulbs utilize H7 size for both high beam and low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 2005 to 2008 production years with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The BMW Motorcycle K1200R uses the H7 bulb type for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 2005-2008 model years.
The H7 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning each lamp housing serves only one lighting function, which is why the K1200R requires separate H7 bulbs for the high beam and low beam positions rather than a single dual-filament unit.
H7 bulbs operate at 12 volts and 55 watts, placing them in the standard halogen output range for motorcycle headlight applications.
The H7 bulb uses a PX26d base, a two-pin connector with a specific keyed orientation that prevents incorrect installation and is not interchangeable with other base types such as the single-pin P14.5s used by H1 bulbs.
The H7 is an ECE-rated bulb, meaning it meets the Economic Commission for Europe lighting standard, which governs beam pattern, intensity, and color temperature for road use across European and many worldwide markets.
H7 bulbs carrying ECE approval are also accepted for road use in the United States and Japan, making the same bulb specification valid across multiple regulatory regions without requiring market-specific variants.
