Motorcycle lights fresh from the factory are good and will work just fine, but there’s always room for improvement. We recommend adding LED lights and bulbs to your bike. Some of the newer models already come equipped with these lights, but you can always add more. Here are a few benefits of LED lights and the different types that you can install on your new motorcycle.

Perks

One of the biggest advantages of using LED lights is how little energy they use for how much output they give. LEDs are significantly brighter than traditional light bulbs and they draw less power, so you’ll be able to see better and be better seen by other commuters without using too much power from your battery. Even the smallest LED bulbs emit more light than some of the bigger, less efficient bulbs, which means even the bigger bulbs won’t weigh down your bike as much. They’re going to be a little more expensive, but they last a lot longer than other bulbs, so you’ll save money in the long run.

Different LED Lights for your Bike

LED lights fit easily to most electrical hookups and it’s easy to install them without damaging your bike. Not to mention, installing LED lights probably won’t interfere with the look of your ride, so you won’t have to wrestle with placement. The easiest and most noticeable bulb you can replace is the headlight. You can also put strips of LED lights along your ride, like around the rim of the tires or along the edges. Not only will you be more visible to other commuters, but it’ll give your bike a neat glow. Plus, because of how they’re installed, you can put them virtually anywhere without damaging the paint.

Whether it’s for style or for performance, switching to LED lights is a great way to start customizing your new motorcycle.
