Auxiliary lights improve visibility in low-light conditions and add a custom touch. Here's how to install them on your GS.

Choosing Your Lighting Setup

Select lights based on beam pattern, power, and mounting compatibility with your bike.

LED options provide bright, efficient illumination and long lifespan.

Mounting Location Considerations

Common spots include crash bars, forks, or under the headlight to maximize visibility.

Secure mounts firmly to avoid vibration damage.

Wiring and Power Integration

Wire lights to accessory circuits with fused connections for safety.

Add a relay and switch for convenient control without draining your battery.

Testing and Adjustments

Test lights for proper function and adjust beam angles for optimal coverage.

Fine-tuning ensures effective illumination without blinding other riders.
