A motorcycle headlight casts a controlled beam of light in a forward direction of the vehicle to provide optimal visibility on the road for the driver and at the same time inform other road users of the vehicle’s location in the dark. Next to your vehicle’s braking system, headlights that improve your nighttime vision are the most significant safety features. The forward lighting system emits light in a beam pattern optimum for driving conditions of the motorcycle, giving the driver a clear view of what’s ahead.
Motorcycle headlighting is generally configured to switch a low beam and a high beam. The low beam is tilted down towards the road more than the high beam to give adequate forward and lateral illumination without obstructing the view of drivers of a preceding or oncoming vehicle located ahead of the motorcycle in the driving direction. The high beam illuminates a greater distance than the low beam, which gives priority to ensuring a field of view for the driver but would expose road users on the opposite side to glare. A motorcycle may be equipped with up to three headlights which are mounted at a height of not more than 54 inched nor less than 24 inches above the road surface.
