We installed a semi truck LED headlight on our Suzuki DR650, and CREE LED auxiliary lights with a toggle switch (all ordered from ebay). Very happy with it! Will fit any bike with 4x6 headlight (ie: Yamaha TW200, Suzuki DR200, Suzuki DRZ400, Honda XR650).
Headlight features over 50,000hrs, 6000K white, built-in antiflicker, die-cast aluminum alloy, excellent heat dissipation. 2009 DR still has stock headlight. On 2008 DR, we also installed new grips, handguards and USB port with battery and temperature gauge.
Items we ordered off ebay a few months ago: (Please note I had ordered mine months ago and the pricing has changed since then)
- Motorcycle rectangular 4x6inch DOT LED projector headlight high/low beam sealed
eBay listing for a single light: www.ebay.ca/itm/1pc-Motorcycl...
eBay listing for a 2 pack: www.ebay.ca/itm/Rectangular-4...
- 8x4 inch 18w CREE LED work light fog driving lamp flood Pod 4WD off road ATV SUV
Item purchased at hardware store:
- $2 Simpson Strong tie bracket (to mount headlight) Could easily be any piece of metal you have laying around.
Items reused/recycled:
- old metal computer monitor mount (to cut brackets for auxiliary lights)
- old bracket off stock DR headlight (for new headlight)

Awesome. That headlight is a nice find! love it when people get creative. Enjoy your winter! At least you get snow. We just get rain.
Thanks, we're happy with it, much better than stock. We do enjoy the snow but it's when the temperature drops to the -30 degrees plus wind chill factor that we wish we were in Australia :) It actually rained yesterday and melted some snow which is unusual for December, the weather is all over the place now. We're looking forward to your T7 adventures to help get us through the long winter months!
Great upgrades! Defenetetly clever idea and not brake the bank!! Excellent guys!
Thanks, works good and we think it looks great!
Finally. Awesome idea.. Thanks dude!
Thank you, always trying to save a few dollars if we can and it works great.
Kier Revs It's good to see these types of vids as not everyone can just throw buckets of money at problems. There's lots of satisfaction in DIY too.
Sweet thanks guys 😊
Thanks for showing us, my headlight copped a rock through it last ride so looking at something like this. Subbed cheers.
Hi, sorry for the late reply. Appreciate the comment, hopefully your setup works out. We both got new (used) DR's and we're in the process of installing aux lights on them right now. Let us know if we can be of any assistance. Good luck 👍
Thanks alot will definitely try to attempt this wen my bike come out of storage!👍👍
Nice, let us know how it goes! You have no idea how excited we were to be able to push our bikes into our basement last month...before we've always rented small apartments so we'd store the bikes somewhere knowing they'd be snowed in for months! Now we can go see them everyday :) Getting to work on them warm and dry while it's snowing outside, and being able to leave the tools out if you run out of time or get interrupted is incredible!
@@Sum4Seb ih I bet mine is normal in my garage but we moved back to ON and its feels a bit wierd not being able to work on it will let you know how it goes!
You should run 12v battery power to aux through a relay, use the power supply you’re currently using to turn them on.
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it, I didn't think the small power draw of those LED lights would require a relay. That's how we had our last DRs setup to and never had an issue but I'd rather be safe than sorry if there's a safety issue where wiring can heat up to much and cause a fire. Back to reading some more 😀👍
Probably a fairlysmall chance of any trouble
Great ! Thanks for the idea 😁
Our pleasure! sorry for late reply 😎
Nice! With those lights you guys can microwave any rabbit you come across along the trail. 😁Stay warm my northern friends.
So much brighter, but more importantly less power draw. Can't wait to try them outside. We're under lockdown again, wish we could ride... Happy riding!
damn ... wish i knew this when i had mine .
yeah, crazy how cheap things are on eBay / Amazon now if you're willing to do a bit of customizing. Hope you're doing good. Merry Christmas and happy holidays :)
So much cheaper then ProCycle guys.
Well done for thinking outside of the box
Hi and thank you, we're pretty happy with it! Compared to the stock headlight, there is a huge difference. We've been looking for a stock headlight plastic/brackets so that we can upgrade Summer's bike too (previous owner had installed Acerbis aftermarket which doesn't fit and bike didn't come with the original parts). We try to keep things cheap/affordable when we can, prices keep going up on everything!

I’m in Australia, & the DR is still sold brand new over here so parts are plentiful.
You could always look at gumtree.com.au as that’s our local on line for sales.
I wish u would have showed the wiring for the spot lights a little more i wanna do this but i cant really see whatvu wired and how.
Hi Tim, I spliced into the wires for the speedometer light. If you haven't used the marker light wires I would use those first. It's an empty plug that is a switched power source with 1 brown wire and 1 black.
@@Sum4Seb Oh wow i didnt know that plug was for markers. I know exactly which one you mean I will try that.
@@kewlmanable if you have any issues let me know, I'll try to help the best I can 😀👍🍻
@@Sum4Seb I appreciate it man! I ended up getting a wiring harness and mount from j and s. It worked out pretty good considering I suck at wiring.
i like this setup for the aux lights especially with the option to turn them off and them being on the circuit and only turn on when the ignition is set to on; do you need a fuse or something? that's not too much power drawing from that light in the speedometer?
Hi and thanks. It's a very low draw from the LED's and that circuit is already protected with a fuse. We've done this setup on quite a few different DR's and never had an issue.
Lol.. nice. 👍
Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy your holidays!
I just came across your video what a great deal for the auxiliary lights. was there a name or any information on them I will look on ebay and see if they might still be available. Thank for a great video
Thank you, we're very happy with them, very bright at night. Try searching "4inch 18w CREE LED light" and then 2pcs / 8pcs depending how many you want. Looks like the price has since gone up (like everything this past year...) Check Amazon as well, they seem to have better pricing.
Hey could you ad a link to the headlight that you used in the video description. Thanks
Hi, we had bought ours months ago and the price has gone up since then but they're still affordable. Z-Offroad is the seller I bought from on eBay.

we also updated the description. Hope this helps, good luck with your project and happy holidays! :)
Im looking to do this mod, how is your light help up? Thanks for the great tutorial. Liked and subbed.
Hi, thanks! It's working perfect still. Way brighter than stock but I wouldn't do it again. We installed a DZG H4 light in Summer's and it's super bright, cheaper and way easier to change when that time comes. I like the look of mine better though. All about personal preference I suppose 😀 If you go with just the bulb I would add a protective cover to avoid headlight damage from rocks. Good luck with your project. *T4W*
@@Sum4Seb Got ya, where did you source your DZG H4 light?
@@mattnorman7744 Amazon has them. $33 for single or $50 for 2 (Cdn)
@@Sum4Seb thank you
Where did you get the USB and temperature set up?
Hi, we had ordered them off Amazon for around $20 each. They're still working great!
@@Sum4Seb Do you know the name of them or how I would get them described? Also did they come with the bracket that went around the handle bar? Thanks
@@reed1541 www.amazon.ca/DEALPEAK-Waterproof-Motorcycle-Handlebar-Temperature/dp/B07WPC364Z/ref=dp_prsubs_2?pd_rd_i=B07WPC364Z&psc=1
It's identical to the one we have and yes it comes with the bracket as you'll see on the link. Hope this helps 😀
Thank you you’re the best
Not available in USA and no longer available either. Like this product though.
where are your grips from ?
Hi Jon, they're the Pro Taper full diamond MX grips. I got them from Fortune because I'm in Canada but they should be available online just about anywhere. Hope this helps, good luck. fortnine.ca/en/pro-taper-full-diamond-mx-grips#76=21&615=21818
@@Sum4Seb Awsome ! I'll look into them. I'm in Canada too 😁 Did you ever get condensation in your light ? I just received my light yesterday and I wanted to make a whole new custom bracket and using the threaded holes on the back but it seems too much of a hassle. Your bracket is very simple and quick but I hate drilling into a sealed beam !
@@JonTheOutdoorsman no condensation because we added silicone to waterproof the holes. An LED H4 bulb is definitely the easiest way to go since no modification is needed. Good luck with your project 😀
