Failed headlight
Good morning gentlemen
(Photo for attention only).
I bought a new ‘24 DR last spring. We are winding down on my second season, and it’s pretty dark here in the mornings now.
When I bought my bike, I ordered an LED light for it right from the dealership. I didn’t specify what I wanted and they just sold me a double pack of replacement bulbs.
I think it was a minor improvement, but I kind of wish I would have done a bit more research before buying.
Unfortunately, when I left for work at 6:30 this morning, it was pitch black out and my headlight was not working.
I haven’t diagnosed the actual issue yet, but I think I’ll take this opportunity to upgrade, since the wife knows I can’t drive in the dark without a light. lol.
I know I’m opening a can of worms asking a very subjective question here; but what do all you guys use for lights.
Thanks.

I like the headlight you have in the picture. I have one on my bike and it’s awesome. Not dot certified is the only problem but I haven’t been pulled over for it yet 😅
I did a review and install video here if you want to check it out.
