In a issue of BMW Motorcycle Magazine there was a comparison between the R1200RT and R100RT and these lights got a mentions. They fold away where the air intakes are in the faring. So you have no air intakes.

I had heard that there was a light accesory that replaced the vents, but I've never seen it before.

I've seen bikes on Craigslist at least twice that had them.

Anybody seen these before?

Yes.
The fold out light-housings for the RT fairing was a factory option,
the lights themselves are aftermarket, me thinks, but nice lamps just the same.

Ah yes, the lighting option for those scared of crash bars.

A few years back they were a hot accessory. If I had an RT, I'd probably run 'em.

Those are a terrific period accessory for the RTs and its getting hard to find a decent set.

I saw them years ago, on an RT that BMW had submitted for evaluation to the Toronto Police Dept. The lights were RED and there was a also a siren hidden behind the fairing. In terms of un-marked police vehicles, this is our worst nightmare.

I remember seeing them long ago. If I rode an RT, I'm not sure I could give up the vents.
