The further off the grid you want to go, the more important it is that you bring your own juice. Light up the trail, the road, or the whole damn desert. For a simple upgrade, start by increasing your motorcycle’s current headlight output with a replacement halogen or LED headlight bulb. If you still need more light, add a set of auxiliary driving lights / passing lamps. If there are any dim spots in the beam your motorcycle casts down the road, you can target specific areas with spot lights. To support the extra amperage draw from auxiliary or accent lights, RevZilla recommends replacing your stock head light, tail light, brake light and turn signals with low draw LED replacement bulbs - this will buy you some additional bandwidth. If you don’t know how much lighting your OEM alternator can support (your bike’s EEC, or excess electrical capacity), you can usually find specs from the manufacturer, dealer, or better yet, get advice specific to your needs by contacting RevZilla customer service at cs@revzilla.com or (877) 427-9777.

Motorcycle Lights FAQ's

Why should I upgrade my motorcycle's lighting?
Upgrading your motorcycle's lighting is one of the best safety improvements you can make. A brighter, "whiter" LED headlight helps you see farther and wider down the road at night. More importantly, it makes you significantly more visible to other cars during the day, which is the key to not being seen.

What's the benefit of an LED headlight over a halogen bulb?
An LED headlight is a huge upgrade from a stock halogen bulb. LEDs are much, much brighter, last 10-20 times longer, and produce a clean, white light that does a better job of illuminating the road. They also use less power than old-school bulbs, which frees up electrical capacity for other accessories like heated grips.

What are "auxiliary" motorcycle lights?
Auxiliary lights (or "driving lights") are extra lights you add to your bike, usually mounted on the forks or an engine guard. They are fantastic for throwing a huge amount of light down the road and off to the sides, which is perfect for touring or ADV riding. They also create a "triangle of light" with your headlight, making you much more noticeable to oncoming traffic.
