RUN-N-LITES conversion kits illuminate the stock turn signal
housing with a low intensity light at all times. A high intensity
light flashes with actuation of the turn signal switch. There
is no cutting or splicing of wires or modification of the
turn signal housing required to install RUN-N-LITES.
TYPE-12 RUN-N-LITES (front)
The TYPE-12 kit fits the front of the R-1100/1150 RT. The
kit utilizes standard, dual element, car tail light bulbs
(#1157). These bulbs contain both a low intensity element
and a high intensity element. The low intensity element is
the running or marker light, which is ON all the time. The
high intensity element is the flashing, turn signal element,
which is ON intermittently. The stock BMW single element turn
signal bulb and socket are replaced with the RUN-N-LITES dual
element bulb and socket. The RUN-N-LITES bulb handles both
running (marker) and turn signal functions. No modifications
are required to the turn signal housing or the wiring. Power
for the new running light circuit is obtained at the "Parking
Lamp" in the headlight assembly.
TYPE-13 RUN-N-LITES (rear) 
The TYPE-13 kit fits the rear of the R-1100/1150 RT. This
kit is very similar to the front kit with the exception of
the length of the connecting wires. Power for the new running
light circuit is obtained from the "Tail Light"
circuit in the tail light assembly.
Demand on Electrical System
The additional draw on the electrical system is 16.6 watts
(1.18 amp) per each kit installed. Two kits are required to
outfit both the front and rear lights of a bike; 33.2 watts
(2.36 amps) total. This is no problem on the R-Oilhead as
the electrical system is very robust.
