$70 LED headlight LX-LIGHT

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.

    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.
