Motorcycle and Scooter Headlights and Indicators

Let's talk about lights and indicators for motorcycles and scooters – essential elements not only for safety but also for the aesthetics of the vehicle. They can be original, aftermarket, LED, approved, or tuned.

💡 1. Headlights (Motorcycle and Scooter Headlights)

🔸 Types:

• Halogen bulb (H4, HS1) – the most common

• Integrated LEDs – brighter, consume less

• Xenon – rarer, powerful lighting but more complex to install

🔸 Aftermarket:

• Universal enduro/cross masks

• LED headlights with modern design for naked, cafe racer, custom

Recommended brands : Koso, Vicma, JMT, Highsider, Puig

⚠️ Make sure they are E-mark approved for road use

💡 2. Rear Lights

• Classics with light bulb

• Integrated LEDs with position light + brake light

• Some also include turn signals

💡 Tuning : darkened headlights, with dynamic sequences, strip lights

🔁 3. Arrows (Direction Indicators)

🔸 Types:

• Classic light bulbs

• LED – low consumption, compact design

• Dynamics – Audi-style "sliding" effect (increasingly popular)

🔸 Attacks:

• Universal or specific

• With or without resistors (if you mount LEDs on a system with a classic relay, they are needed to prevent rapid flashing)

🛠️ If you install LEDs, you may need to:

• Change the turn signal relay

• Add 10–15 Ohm resistors

✨ 4. Integrated / Multifunctional Lighting

• There are rear lights that include:

  • Position light

  • Stop

  • Integrated arrows

💡 Great for custom or streamlined bikes, but BEWARE: not always approved

🔌 5. Compatibility and Approval

Always check:

• Type of attack

• Voltage (usually 12V)

• Approval (E code + country number, e.g. E9 = Spain)
