Find the right motorcycle lighting at MOTEA

Motorcycle lighting is crucial for safety while riding. It is especially important on a motorcycle that other road users can see you to avoid accidents. Good lighting is therefore essential for every motorcycle.

Pay attention to the legal requirements for motorcycle lighting

There are a few points you need to consider when installing main and auxiliary headlights, parking lights, turn signals and other lighting on your motorcycle. Note that only lighting that is legally required or additionally permitted may be installed. It is also important that the lighting has an E-mark.

What does the E-mark on a motorcycle mean?

The E-mark, or officially the “ECE mark”, is an official mark for components of motor vehicles that require approval. The mark tells you whether the lighting meets EU safety standards and is therefore approved for use on the road. So you can install it on your motorcycle without hesitation. Any lighting that does not have a mark must undergo a separate approval process by a testing institute. Otherwise, they are not allowed on the road.

Different types of lighting

There are basically two common types of motorcycle lighting – halogen and LED. Choosing the right motorcycle lighting is often difficult. It depends entirely on your bike and your ideas as to which lighting is best. For example, do you want to install an additional motorcycle headlight or replace the existing lighting?

Halogen lighting

Halogen lighting is an older technology, but it is still used on many motorcycles. Put simply, halogen headlights are a further development of the conventional light bulb. Halogen headlights are popular because of their low price and are therefore often used as standard on motorcycles. In addition to the price, another advantage of this type of motorcycle lighting is that it is easy to install. If you want to change the lighting, you usually don't need to visit a garage.

LED lighting for motorcycles

LED lighting is increasingly being installed as standard on various motorcycle models. Despite their higher price, motorcycle LED headlights have significant advantages over halogen headlights. A longer lifespan and strong luminosity are just two of the advantages of LED headlights on motorcycles. They are significantly more space-saving, have a lower energy consumption and are more robust than halogen lamps.

The strong luminosity not only offers you a better view, but also ensures that your bike is more visible on the road. The higher level of safety on the roads is therefore guaranteed with LED lighting on the motorcycle.

Our DIY tip for motorcycle lighting

With a little DIY experience, you can install a new motorcycle headlight yourself. If you are changing motorcycle lights for the first time, you should take a photo of the cables. This will make it easier to install the LED lights correctly. You should also not cut the existing cables. If the new LED motorcycle headlight doesn't fit, you can always re-use your old motorcycle headlight.

As long as you stay within the law, you can basically go wild with your lighting. Whether you are looking for LED rear lights for your motorcycle, additional reflectors, a fog light or license plate illumination, you will find everything for your motorcycle at MOTEA.
