Howdy. Does anyone know where I can find the electrical schematic for the C600 Sport please? I think the orange wire is hot with the key but not certain? I will want my fog lights on with the low beam/high beam. I prefer not to have it on a separate waterproof switch

Used my 12v battery charger to test polarity and aim. This weekend, if the garage is not frozen, I will trace out the best Power source wire. Tricking the canbus will be challenging but I've do have a plan b
 
Update fog lamps. Completed. I ended up just tapping off the two wires that feed the riders left side running light. The fogs come on automatically then the bike starts and shut off when the bike is off. Looks great. I upgraded the running lights to 12v led. No canbus issues at all. Next project is the cup/phone holder. Awaiting parts

Cup/phone holder is complete. I use my coffee cup hold to hold my phone. Ram mount does make many different styles of phone holders. The great thing about ram products is that one can use the same attachments to go from bike to boat to car in seconds.

update: been almost a month of riding everyday and the Fogs are still performing well. No issues at all. I may replace my headlamps to 5000k LED's to match the fog lamp 5000 kelvin color. The running lights are great as well https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-DELI-30-FBA_iL-Replacements-Landscape/dp/B00U39J0HW/ref=sr_1_7?crid=3RKILSURUPO5Y&keywords=Sago+10+Pack,+Wedge+T10-T5+1w+Bulb+360deg+LED+Extra+bright+for+Malibu+12v+Dc+Landscape+Light-13+SMD-+pure+White&qid=1702830807&sprefix=sago+10+pack,+wedge+t10-t5+1w+bulb+360deg+led+extra+bright+for+malibu+12v+dc+landscape+light-13+smd-+pure+white+,aps,864&sr=8-7&th=1

Hi, curious if you ever did the headlight conversion to LED.
 
Actually I did not. It is very easy to do but I believe the lamp with the LED driver is about $10usd I think. I believe you need the LED conversion kit with LED driver. If you don't use a driver the LED will most likely strobe. Amazon has them. I upgraded my last 3 BMW motorcycles but the kit was $70 from BMW. I know better now
 
I actually just purchased the two lamps and will install them towards the end of July. i will take a few pics of the process. When i did the upgraded on my previous K1200's and k1600 the k1600 CANBUS was too sensitive and could not detect the headlamp so it popped up a burned out headlamp warning. I had to put in a tiny resistor to draw a little more current to fool the canbus. I do not know if my scooter will do the same? I did however replace the running lights with LED on my C600 and no warnings popped up so i imagine the headlamp is the same

Update on led low/high headlight upgrade. Takes about 10-15 minutes total to replace the original. Super easy. No need to remove any screws or plastic. They work perfectly
 
Ok plan b. Lol. Yes my canbus system has a lamp display now. We absolutely do need to install a led resistor in line with the new h7 led lamps. Ebay has the h7 led patch wire for $10usd for a set of two. We just need to unplug the BMW headlamp plug, plug the adapter in to the plug and the other end into the LED lamp.
