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

⚠️ 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 avoid rapid flashing)

🛠️ If you install LEDs, you may need to:

  1. Change the turn signal relay
  2. 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:

  1. Type of attack
  2. Voltage (usually 12V)
  3. Approval (E code + country number, e.g. E9 = Spain)
