A New LED Motorcycle Headlight Will Solve Your Night Riding Issues

Рет қаралды 69,546

Күн бұрын

LED headlights are leaps and bounds above your old halogen headlight on your motorcycle. The good news is it's very easy and inexpensive to add a modern led motorcycle headlight to your bike. If you ride a Harley-Davidson you are likely well aware of just of how bad the factory halogen headlight is riding at night. Modern LED headlights generate much less heat and have a much greater output which lights up the ditches and allows you see farther down the road. The best part is the headlights are universal, fit a wide range of motorcycles with a headlight bucket and you only need a screw driver to install one.

I have looked at four or five videos of guys installing these things. In every one of them, the headlight drops out to reveal a completely empty headlight bucket save for the three little wires running to the light plug. I drop mine out of my 2003 Sportster, to find enough wiring to connect Hoover Dam to Las Vegas, along with two big fat square plugs each the size of my thumbs along with the three little wires going to the headlight. No force on Earth could shove that fat new LED headlight in where the stock light was. It's like I live on another planet sometimes.

I know these LED headlights put out a lot of light. They can also do a good job of blinding oncoming traffic. Every time I see someone installing one and complaining about how bad halogen headlights are I wish I could make them use an old sealed beam headlight. The old sealed beam lights when they got old would sometimes be only a little brighter than your marker lights and just about as yellow.

@GixxerFoo 3 жыл бұрын

The biggest issue with the new LED lights is that people don't adjust them properly after they install them. The old housing is going to be adjusted to the halogen lights output. Sticking an LED in there is going to light people up in the oncoming cars. A properly adjusted housing with an LED provides quite a bit of clarity at night without blinding people.

I put LEDs on my 2006 ultra classic electra glide. Headlight and spots. The problem is when i turn on the spots the radio goes to static, turn them off and the music comes back on. I put the stock spot lights back in and the music stays on. Anyone have a fix for this problem? The LEDs are from The LED factory.

I have a LED device that directly replaces the halogen bulb in the original light case. With it, the classic look is retained and nobody realizes it a LED light until the motorcycle is turned on. I think it is much, much better than the multibeam that you installed. I know because I had it installed in my Softail. Just as the multibeam is a night and day difference to the halogen bulb, the LED "bulb" is the same difference to the multibeam.

They do work really well! That's what l did in all my 4 wheel vehicles, just use the led bulb and they work great.

@omarsalgado9715 3 жыл бұрын

@@GixxerFoo I forgot to mention that some adaptation needs to be done in order for the LED "bulb" not to bounce, so it becomes a kind of strobes. That is because the main case, the hollow one, has a rubber mount that dampens adequately the halogen bulb, but because the LED "bulb" has a stronger and more focused beam, the light case really needs to be fixed to the main case, via taking out the vibration isolation sandwich mini mounts and leaving no gaps between the light and main cases. It's really a pain in the * s * to get it done correctly, but once achieved, it illuminates like a sun glowing out of that headlight. Zodiac sells that LED "bulb" (I didn't purchased mine from them however). Cheers.

I stopped riding at night 20 years ago from a combination of pot holes one of which caused a bent rim and instant blow out at 80 mph on my old KZ 1000 and 4 deer hits 2 by car & 2 by tractor trailer. Not my bike luckily but that was enough. I have 2 Harley’s , a shovelhead & 2015 RK. the shovel light is horrible but the RK isn’t to bad. The only time I ride in dark is on a early morning ride to the mountains for maybe a hour before sunrise and I constantly look for deer. Oh did I mention PA. Is I believe number 1 deer hit state or it was at one time not sure now but it’s definitely in top five. Be careful out there guys 👍

My "stock" headlight has a bulb that works well--it came "standard" on the '05 Touring models--when my high beam is on, I can see a long way down the road, even when traveling rather quickly. I put HD fog/driving lamps on top of my engine guard, and ANY TIME I'm gonna roll out, those lamps are ON, before the bike goes into gear, even in the daytime--at night, it's like a "moving wall" of light! Many times at night, with just the low beam on, I've had vehicles flash their lights at me, thinking my high beam was on. Of course, I always SHOW them my high beam, for a second or two; it happened even before I put those lamps ON the bike... lol

@@GixxerFoo I had a guy blow a stop sign, 2:25AM, Sunday, in a rural area of Northern Michigan, as I approached the intersection he came to. I turned down my bright, with my left turn signal on, to turn South--he was facing North--I thought he was stopping, but he did the "rolling stop" thing--I went in front of him, headed for the ditch, so I wouldn't be in his path anymore! Down the hill, into a recently planted corn field, with water sitting on its edge. Having ridden dirt bikes a bunch back in the day, I tried keeping the bike moving, turning her South--the mud screwed me, filling my tires' grooves. Down I went, bending a front fender & handlebars. By the time I crawled on all fours to the road (the slope was that steep!), the car that ran me off the road was gone. It bummed me out, to lose about 3 weeks of prime riding weather. Wall of light was the "rule" I implemented after that incident, for obvious reasons... lol

That's a real issue, people don't aim their headlights properly. More and more people are replacing halogen bulbs with LED bulbs and not aiming the headlights. The LED bulb puts a out a lot more light which sends the beam up when the housing is adjusted for a halogen. Once you point it down where it's supposed to be they are great.

All those LED headlight units are not all the same. If you go on Amazon or eBay you'll find them with various watt rating's. H4 headlight bulbs are typically 55/60 watts and if you have a modern bike it has a stator with rotating magnets to produce power to run your lights and keep the battery charged. That type of stator produces full power all the time so the regulator controls voltage and current by converting excess power into heat and dumping it overboard via the heat sink on the side of the regulator. If you burn out a headlight bulb this adds power the regulator must deal with and so you could eventually burn it up. If you use an LED headlight that uses less than 55 watts you could have regular problems. If you use an LED headlight that takes more that 60 watts to operate you could end up with a dead battery because the stator simply can't provide enough power to charge the battery, run the light's, and any accessories you've added like an audio amplifier. On Amazon and eBay the typical watts consumed by the majority of LED headlights is 80 watts or more. I've seen some rated as high as 120 watts. Just be careful about what you select and it's watt rating's to see if it is what your electrical system can handle.
