Types of Lights

LED lights come in many shapes and sizes, serving many different purposes. The benefit of using LED lights is that even the smallest bulbs give off a substantial amount of light. This means that no matter where you put them, they’ll make sure you’re seen by other drivers and enhance your own range of visibility. We suggest starting with the headlight. You only have one, but you’ll need it to give you the same lighting power cars and trucks get from two headlights. The best way to do this and not completely drain your battery is to use an LED bulb. While they’re a little more expensive, LED bulbs shine brighter, weigh less, and last longer, giving you more than your money’s worth.

You can also get LED strips to line your motorcycle. They can fit on your rims, your seat, even your saddlebags. Not only do they add flair, but they make you more visible no matter how foggy or bad conditions are. What’s more, you can add LED bulbs to your brake lights and your turn signals to make your actions easier for other drivers to see. You can also get light rings that wrap around your headlight to give you even more visibility. Wherever you have a bulb, consider using LEDs to save you money and conserve energy. 

Why do we use LED Lights?

But clearly, halogen bulbs can get the job done. Plenty of motorists use them without any problem, so what’s the point in fixing something that isn’t broken? It’s not about fixing something that’s broken, it’s about improving it. LED lights are the all-around better light. They use a fraction of the energy that incandescent lights use and still shine brighter. Because of this, they don’t deplete your battery’s life and they last longer. 

As a great way to start your customization process and a simple way to stay safe and seen, LED lights are a valuable upgrade if your bike doesn’t already come equipped with them. But some of those installations can get a bit tricky. For your light kit hookups and any other maintenance and repairs your bike may need, stop by Big St. Charles Motorsports in St. Charles, MO.
