BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Bought this 2009 RT, nice bike low miles BUT when I took the seats off it appears the owner cut the seat heat wires Ft and Rear for some other reason. I live in Florida so no real need for heated seats.
Can I use these wires (front brown & purple) or rear 4 wires to install extra driving lights ? Of the brown / purple which is hot and which is ground ?
Thanks for info.

I would find out whats the maximum volts/amps that the wires can deliver. Ive looked at mine on a 07 and the wires are on the thin side so suspect that they wouldn't be any good for a heavy load. By all means, give it a go. 2 things will happen either the canbus will trip of the wires will get hot and melt

You could possibly use the wires as the switched feed for a relay to power the lights but you'll still have to run some heavier cable from the battery to actually power the lights.
