Product Description
Headlight Module
Help Drivers Notice Your Motorcycle Sooner
One of the greatest dangers motorcyclists face is a driver turning left in front of them or pulling into traffic because they simply did not recognize the motorcycle.
Unlike cars, motorcycles typically have a single headlight, or two headlights positioned very close together. Drivers subconsciously associate that narrow light pattern with a passenger vehicle that is much farther away.
The result is a split-second mistake:
“I have time to pull out.”
The Signal Dynamics Headlight Module is designed to help attract attention and encourage drivers to recognize the motorcycle sooner instead of subconsciously filtering it into the background.
Compatible with both LED and halogen headlights.
Adapter harness required.
Not Sure Which Harness Fits Your Motorcycle?
Many motorcycles use different headlight connectors and wiring configurations, even within the same manufacturer or model year.
If you are unsure which harness to select:
- Check our Harness Identification Guide
- email us your motorcycle’s year, make, and model (include a picture of the headlight connector whenever possible - Male and Female unplugged)
We will help determine whether a plug-and-play harness is available for your motorcycle.
If a plug-and-play harness is not available, a universal splice-in harness or custom wiring adapter may still be used.
Automatic Daytime Headlight Modulation
The Headlight Module is designed to modulate your motorcycle’s existing headlight during daylight conditions to help increase daytime visibility to surrounding traffic.
When the motorcycle is started during daylight:
- modulation automatically turns on
- the selected headlight beam begins modulating
- the module remains active until disabled manually or by low-light conditions
If your motorcycle activates both high and low beams simultaneously when high beam is selected, only the high beam will modulate while the low beam remains steady.
Toggle Modulation On or Off at Any Time
The Signal Dynamics Headlight Module allows you to quickly toggle modulation on or off using your motorcycle’s existing high/low beam switch.
Simply:
- switch to the opposite beam
- then switch back within one second
This feature allows modulation to be enabled or disabled without adding extra switches or controls.
Automatic Night Shut-Off
The Headlight Module automatically disables modulation during low-light and nighttime conditions using the included optic sensor.
This helps maintain compliance with DOT daytime headlight modulation requirements while preventing unwanted nighttime modulation.
Optional Horn Alert Feature
The Headlight Module also includes an optional horn alert feature.
When connected to the motorcycle’s horn wire:
- pressing the horn temporarily activates headlight modulation for approximately 3 seconds
- the headlight then returns to normal steady operation
This creates an additional visual alert to accompany the horn during daytime riding conditions.
Plug-and-Play Installation
Installation is designed to be simple when using the correct adapter harness.
Basic installation includes:
- locating the motorcycle’s headlight connector(s)
- disconnecting the factory connector(s)
- installing the adapter harness inline between the motorcycle and headlight
- connecting the adapter harness to the Headlight Module
- mounting the optic sensor and module
Some motorcycles may require fairing or fuel tank removal to access the headlight connectors.
Optic Sensor Installation
The included optic sensor detects ambient light levels to automatically enable or disable modulation.
For best operation:
- mount the optic sensor in a water-protected location
- face the sensor toward the road surface
- avoid direct exposure to headlights or street lights
For testing:
- fluorescent shop lights and many LED shop lights will NOT activate the module
- testing outdoors during daylight or with an incandescent light source is recommended
