The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I just did my first little night ride. The LED headlights are quite bright and visibility and clarity is good. There was a slight drizzle and I got home with dry knees. Something that used to irritate me on my superbike. I live in an area with no street lamps so it was very effective.

I never had a bike with LED headlights until this pcx150 . I've only been out at night once so far and I wasnt all that impressed , I'll have to get use to them .

They are using less wattage than our halogens at 5.4 watts (low beam) or 9.6 watts (high beam). Is this another advantage of our 2013's?

Is why I raised my headlight beam up higher, easier to be noticed and certainly helps me to be seen by traffic pulling out into my lane.

The halogen lights of my 2013 are by far the best of any of the bikes I own. But they are still not quite enough. Bikes need more light than cars, not less. Why put a legal limit on them that is less than cars? I put a DDM tuning HID conversion in my CBR250R which is very bright but still has a decent pattern, unlike some of the earlier conversions that sprayed light all over the place. But the PCX has a weird bulb that they don't make a kit for. And I also added some ADVMonster led auxiliary spots so now I can see better than any of my cars.
