BMW Motorcycle S1000XR high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize H7 size bulbs for optimal illumination. The replacement chart covers 2015 through 2019 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 S1000XR uses the H7 bulb type for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 2015-2019 model years.
The H7 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning each lamp housing serves only one lighting function, which is why the S1000XR requires separate H7 bulbs for the high beam and low beam circuits.
H7 bulbs operate at 12 volts and 55 watts, placing them within the standard low-voltage halogen range used across motorcycle and passenger vehicle applications worldwide.
The H7 bulb uses a PX26d base, a two-pin connector with a specific keyed orientation that prevents incorrect installation in the housing.
The H7 is an ECE-rated bulb, meaning it meets the Economic Commission for Europe lighting standard, and it also carries approval for use in the United States and Japan.
Because both the high beam and low beam positions on the S1000XR share the same H7 specification, a single bulb type serves both functions, though the two positions remain electrically and physically separate installations.
