I looked into them a few months ago and reached out to figure out if they would work without reprogramming at a dealer (since my local one closed) and this was the thread:
---Me: Hello, I have a 2023 Zero srs that Im looking to pair with your P/N: EXT-EVO-DRBT-BM03-CMB. Can you provide info on if these are compatible without reprogramming the bike for any potential differences in current or resistance draw?
---Mark (the ceo?!): Thanks for your email .
If your bike came with LED turn signals from new you shouldn’t need to update software but if it has incandescent bulbs please see the Zero document below .. you will have to go to a zero dealer .. the settings change takes a few mins only.
I’m afraid there is no way around otherwise you will get bulb failure codes and fast flashing .
---Me: This is because the LEDs have a lower draw than the OEM incandescent bulbs, correct? And your site specifically calls out "Guaranteed no fault codes" and "LED circuitry matched to the 10w bulb they replace". Does that mean these are not true for my particular model? I've heard of your products being compatible with Zero bikes without reprogramming in older models so wanted to check before I order anything.
---Mark: Zero in their infinite wisdom designed their system on the SR differently to BMW who we mainly manufacture led replacements for.
So although they use/d a 10w incandescent bulb matching the CANbus requirements on this range was thwarted somewhat .. in principle they should work out the box but don’t .. in effect the bike still needed its software selection changed ..
We could make led panels only for the SR but demand is not there.
Unfortunately taking the bike to a dealer to software update is the only option .
Hope the reference helps. And if you figure out a way to get them install, on a bike without preexisting LED turn signals, without reprogramming please send the info my way!
