Best Motorcycle LED Light Kits

If you’re reading this, then you already know enough about LED lighting for motorcycles that you don’t need a technical description. You want to dress up your bike to make it stand out. Of course, you are looking for the best motorcycle LED light kits you can buy. Kits that provide the look you want, for a good price that are tough and dependable. It has been said you get what you pay for, but buying the most expensive lights on the market does not mean you bought the best. A little research can go a long way so you can be comfortable you have bought the right LED kit for you motorcycle to achieve the right look and enjoy hours of worry free riding.

What To Look For in an LED Kit

There are several basic things any LED kit should offer.

• LED strips that are waterproof and use adhesive backing strips
• An in-line fuse
• Strips that are flexible and can be bent or molded to ensure good adhesion
• Universal application for any motorcycle
• At least a one-year warranty and a return policy

Functioning and Options

Motorcycle LED kits come with all the components needed to hook up to your 12 volt electrical system on your bike. Depending on how you are setting up the light strips on your bike, you could find yourself needing extension wires. It is highly unlikely, but if you do, they are easily found online for a reasonable price. Apply the LED strips where you desire and hook up the wires to your battery. It’s that simple.

One of the coolest functions of LED light kits for motorcycles is their ability to change color. The color variations depend on the kit you purchase, but can be several to a million. Many kits have the ability to be connected to your braking wiring where the LEDs will change to red when you apply your brakes. I highly reccomend a kit with this option. The more visible your motorcycle is, the safer you are. Here are more options that are available.

• Multi color flashing or steady LEDs
• Chasing LEDs
• Jumping and fading modes
• Music syncing
• Blinker connection
• Control options
  • Simple on/off switch
  • Hand held wireless remote control
  • APP mobile phone connection control (check your phone compatibility)

Before You Buy

It is very important to first decide where you want to place the LED light strips on your motorcycle before you make a purchase. LED light kits will come with different length and quantities of strips. After mapping out where you will adhere the strips to obtain the desired effects you will have a pretty good idea what size kit you will need, or if you will need to buy more than one.

The best tool you have to make an informed selection for a kit will be reviews on the internet. Making your decision based solely on information provided on a vendors’ website is risky. After all, they want you to buy their product. So, of course they will sing the praises of their product over all others. Some LED kit companies that will tell you to stay away from multi color lights and to buy single color LED kits. They claim they are more reliable, brighter and less likely to fail. Interesting enough, one of these companies I’ve researched sells a multi color kit on the same website they push the single color kits. This site boasts the brightest LED’s on the market providing a photo comparison of their LED strip against a competitor. The difference is striking and they claim their LEDs are bright 5050 SMD LED’s. A quick search for the best motorcycle LED light kits shows six out the top ten that are multi color use the same 5050 SMD LED.

Keep It Legal

We all want to be on the right side of the laws governing running lights on a motorcycle. Rule and regulations regarding LED ground effects and accent lighting vary from state to state. In most states, they are legal if left unlit when operating the motorcycle on the road. Some allow the use of solid white or amber lights while on the road, but not red or blue lights as they are commonly used by emergency vehicles.

To be absolutely sure of how the laws in your state apply to motorcycle LED effect lighting, check with your local or state law enforcement agency. It’s better to find out before spending money and time to dress up your bike only to have to pay a fine and remove them.

Stay legal and stay safe.
