LED Lights for Motorcycles

Lighting your way forward in the dark is extremely important if you want to ride your motorcycle at dusk or in the dark. Having safe, bright lights outfitted on your bike is part of regular maintenance. LED lights make an exceptional choice for motorcycles due to their bright, visible light. Have you ever considered the benefits of exchanging your old halogen lights for the latest LED lights? If you want to learn more, you can ask our team at St. Charles Harley-Davidson. We have a location in St. Charles, Missouri, and we welcome customers from St. Louis and St. Peters, Missouri. 

LED vs. Halogen

Halogen lights are one of the most common default options on motorcycles. Halogen lights are popular because they are a cheap option that is very durable. However, they collect moisture that can impact their performance. LED lights, by contrast, use diodes to create light. Compared to other options, these lights are very energy-efficient. They also have a long life. What makes them a superior option for lights on a vehicle is how brighter and more effective they are at doing their job.

Different Styles

LED lights for use on a motorcycle come in a variety of styles. Among your options is a split-beam style with a more classic headlight look than the LEDs. Consider finding a headlight for your motorcycle that has rows of lower-power LED lights. This style is safer in case of an outage. You can have other LEDs to use if one or two rows go out.

Installing LED Lights

Installing an LED light on your motorcycle is the same as installing any other type of light. Make sure that you picked out a headlight that is compatible with your motorcycle model. It will do you no good if it cannot be connected properly. Take the time to adjust the headlight to project the most efficient beam of light, too.

Turn Signals, Fog Lights, and More

When you make the switch to an LED headlight on your motorcycle, you might want to change other lights, too. You can find kits that come with fog lights, turn signal lights, and other LED lights. You probably want to outfit your bike with all-new lights when you make the change to LED.

Making the switch from halogen to LED lights on a motorcycle is not too difficult. You can find a lot of excellent options on the market. Your motorcycle will be safer with LED lights.
