The right bike headlights depend on where you often ride your bike. Are you the kind that chooses shortcuts whenever possible, going through dark and dingy lanes, or are you the kind that follows signal rules and sticks to main roads? If you are of the former category, then you will obviously need brighter lights that prevent your bike from sinking into any potholes or hitting an animal. If you are the kind that takes roads, then you will obviously use something that lets others see you clearly without getting disturbed by too bright lights. When it comes to the type of light, you have three main choices. Let us go over each of them one by one.


Halogen Lights- If you are looking for headlights that will last for a long time, these are the kinds of headlights you need to go for. The following are some of its other benefits.

Xenon Lights- It is the above disadvantages that make Xenon lights, a better option. Also known as HID (High- Intensity Discharge) lights, they have a slightly blue tint. The following are some of their benefits.

2. They are much more efficient.

3. They use lesser energy and contribute to lesser fuel consumption.

1. The bright lights can disturb other vehicles.

2. They are expensive.

3. They contain toxic substances like mercury and will have to be handled with care.
