Buying Guide

Confirm housing size and connector

Match the bulb/assembly to your bike's headlight diameter (5.75" vs 7") and connector type (H4 3-prong) to avoid fitment issues

Prioritize beam pattern and projector vs reflector

Projector-style LEDs deliver a more controlled cutoff for oncoming traffic, while reflector designs can be brighter at close range but may scatter light

Check color temperature for visibility

Cool white ~6000K improves perceived brightness and contrast at night but may cause more glare than warmer tones

Look for DRL or halo features if you need daytime visibility

Integrated DRLs or halo rings add daytime conspicuity; verify DOT compliance if you require road-legal lighting

Balance wattage and heat management

Higher wattage LEDs (e.g., 80W) can increase output but need good heat dissipation to maintain longevity and stable beam pattern
