Hey guys, today we are going to compare and install cheap LED headlights on my KTM 300 XC. These bikes come pre-wired for the lights, but there is a need for a switch install and possibly little rewiring on the connector. In this video I will share detailed step by step KTM headlight installation. Let me know your thoughts.

I bought the $55 light for my ktm 690 Enduro. Well worth the money. I don't understand how some of these light manufactures get away with charging hundreds for LEDs.

@Backyard.bandits Год назад

Been waiting for this one 🔥

@onthethrottle7104 Год назад

Great vid, very professional. Nice bike! I have been looking to upgrade my light on my XCW as well for the same reason, coming back late from the trails. Love it!

thanks bro!

@mikeboyer1114 Год назад

How does the Baja Designs light compare? That’s what I’d really like to see a comparison with.

@6Twisted 10 месяцев назад

The $70 light cut off is super clean and the light is uniform. I'd say having a uniform light with a clean cutoff is more important than raw brightness anyway.

Do these fit smcr 2017?

@mikerasmussen7367 6 месяцев назад

On my 2018 KTM 300 I had to put a trail tech stator with rectifier to convert AC to DC. Unfortunately it would burn out the LED if it remained AC power.

@torah033 Месяц назад

I have just received the $55 headlight. Is there a way for the high beam and low beam switch to work the light?

@_Not.all.RC_ 10 месяцев назад

Hey, are you using a recitifier for the LED headlight? I have AC output on my exc and wonder how I would run an LED

@mattmcnew5080 6 месяцев назад

Did you ever find your answer? You need a flasher relay for LED. Tacomoto sells them

@SkroodelTV 6 месяцев назад

would it be possible to swap a 2014 headlight for a 2018+ modern headlight if i also change the plastic housing

@dirtniron 6 месяцев назад

Yes i think so, not sure about the wire connectors but you can always swap them

@gdelg1014 Год назад

Wait, can someone confirm that the 2024 XCF comes pre wired?? I’d love to add a headlight easily

@thatkseriesguy6927 Год назад

Will these fit pit bikes

@colechristensen25 Год назад

How did you convert the AC power than comes stock on your carb 300 to DC power like 4 strokes and TPI bikes? That light should have burned out if you ran it on AC power and not DC power.

@BD-ww7go Год назад

If the bike is e start dc is available

@ApocGuy Год назад

rectifier most likely. simple to do, better to buy one, rated for power consumption.

@smcsumo Год назад

I will change the ,,batman" headlight!😂 And put the 77$ one,way better! 💯Thanks Rado👌

@OldManEnduro Год назад

Will these lights fit in my XC-W housing?

@dirtniron Год назад

Yes, thats what i am using

@nikolaskapsalis7968 4 месяца назад

Is the headlight running off of the ac circuit from the old headlight or did you have to connect it to dc current from somewhere/ using a rectifier?

@dirtniron 4 месяца назад

Old wiring from stock harness. Only switch had to be added

@brianfradenburg49 Год назад

Try Cyclops adventure sports they have a bulb replacement and a whole reflector replacement. Trail boss/pro I believe

@yetiboy01australia23 Год назад

I tried the cyclops bulb, it sprayed light everywhere except where I needed it, sent it back for a refund

@brianfradenburg49 Год назад

@@yetiboy01australia23 interesting. That was not my experience at all. Way way more light and just about the same pattern as factory. And then I got the trail boss pro. That thing is unreal. To each their own.

I hv a 2017 KTM 250 xcf, it doesnt appear to be prewired for a headlight. Can someone confirm if my bike is prewired, i dont see that larger pigtail connection to power?

@stevekozak4474 9 месяцев назад

Simple to do they make a wire kit with factory style plugs. I did it on my 2018 250 sxf bought off Amazon I believe was 2 years ago when I did that.

@madman432000 Год назад

Jeez, get a handlebar switch for headlight with off, lo, hi positions. DRL when in the off position, and of course lo and hi on those respective positions.

@mikeguliz Год назад

Do i have to rewire it on a XC-W

@dirtniron Год назад

I am not sure, but I think so since xcw also doesn't have low/high beam switch

@mikeguliz Год назад

@@dirtniron yeah it does not have a highbeam switch. Might have to do it that way but it’s OK thanks a lot. I’ve been looking for a set of lights to put on my KTM. I’m just tired of out running the lights. Need something better thanks buddy.

@kiwi-moto Год назад

@@dirtniron That is correct. With XC W you decide to wire in the low beam or high beams, or even all of them. Will depend on the wiring on the headlight you get. They usually send instructions.

Not bad. I had a stock light on an 08 and it was terrible. A cheap flash light was better

@glenluyckx12 Год назад

Did you have the issue where it shines way to high? I turned it down to the max and still it shines way to high

@dirtniron Год назад

mine was ok, but I have that expansion tank in the way soo that probably changes the angle a bit

@SingleTrackTherapy Год назад

You have to wire it for low beam, I had the same issue just changed the pin as I had two wires only for a four pin connector.

I had the same problem, I ended up spacing out the top mounts with some washers & longer screws to lower the beam angle, works great now.

@2strokethis99 Год назад

Your bike is carb model?

@kiwi-moto Год назад

I’m using a cheapie LED - the OEM is $$$ to replace

works ok?

@gorkzop Год назад

Great video. Biggest win for me is the Stock one. Simply because if you're far from home and the light dies you could get an H4 bulb at any gas station.

@thatasiandude1351 Год назад

true simplicity is the key especially for this kind of bike's it's cheaper to replace in a event of crashing or having a burn bulb

@gorkzop Год назад

@THATASIANDUDE exactly. If you drive in hooligan inside the city all the time. Yeah Led looks better hands down. But more allroad/offroad/adventure far away from home? Function over form formsure

That $55 lights can see more compared to the $70 lights. I doubt people will be buying that $70 lights when the $55 is way better

Real price ? 585pesos with shipping in the Philippines. Just over $11.00

@corno Год назад

Would it be worth installing an in line capacitor to stop the LED from flickering on revs?

@dirtniron Год назад

it only does it on low idle, I dont see it as a problem

@martincantwell2557 Год назад

I'm actually fairly sure that the carb model runs AC and they only started using 12v DC in the TPI models..a rectifier would help solve the flickering. Same on my beta when I installed an LED light. Works without it no issue but the rectifier make it work a little better
