2021 Kawasaki Zx14R Headlight Replacement “Eyes of Megatron”

Ойын-сауық

This is just a quick video on some tips to change your front lights on a Gen 2 ZX14R. You can also see the difference between stock and aftermarket. I used Led marker lights Auxito 194 and Hikari Ultra H11 Eyes of Megatron for the headlights. Both are available on Amazon.

    I have been using Hikari bulbs for the last two years...have put them in all my vehicles and friend's vehicles! Love them!! The best part is that you can clock the bulb after install to get it aligned perfectly vertical. Two Mustangs, one Lightning pickup, one Escape, my ZX-11, and my VFR1200F all use Hikari EOM bulbs.

    Have you needed high beams yet? I've never used high beams in my cars or the truck. And Ive rarely used it on the ZX11, despite it only having a single headlight. The brightness seems to be right between a normal high/low beam's brightness.

    Great question. I find the down road pattern to be slightly wider at low beam and way better at hi beam. Overall though the light is so much whiter and brighter it seems like you can see down the road distance wise quite a bit better.
