BMW Motorcycle R1200S uses H7 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers 2006 to 2007 model 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 H7 is the sole bulb type specified across all listed positions and years for the BMW Motorcycle R1200S, serving both the high beam and low beam headlight functions.
The H7 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning each unit handles only one lighting function. Separate H7 bulbs are therefore required for the high beam and low beam circuits.
The H7 operates at 12 volts and 55 watts, which are standard values for halogen headlight applications in motorcycles and passenger vehicles.
The H7 uses a PX26d base, a two-pin connector with a locking tab. This base type is not interchangeable with other common halogen bases such as H4 or H11, and substitution with physically similar bulbs risks improper fitment or electrical incompatibility.
The H7 carries ECE certification, the regulatory standard applied across Europe and much of the world. It also holds approval in the United States and Japan, giving it broad regulatory acceptance across major markets.
The R1200S used the H7 specification across both the 2006-2007 model years without variation in either the high beam or low beam position.
