Auxiliary Lights

Auxiliary motorcycle lights are a popular accessory for improving visibility when riding at night, in rain, or through fog. They are suitable for adventure enduros, choppers, cruisers, road bikes, and touring motorcycles alike. Modern auxiliary lights typically use LEDs due to their long lifespan, low power consumption, and high lumen output.

Types of Auxiliary Lights:

• High-Beam / Driving Lights: Increase the illumination range ahead of the motorcycle—ideal for long night rides.

• Fog Lights: Enhance visibility in fog and rain. They are frequently mounted directly onto crash bars.

• Low-Beam / Passing Lights: Provide better illumination of the immediate road surroundings during regular traffic conditions.

Installation & Regulations:

• Installation must adhere to strict legal requirements. You may only add one supplementary driving light to the original high beam, meaning a maximum of two high-beam headlights per motorcycle.

• Up to two fog lights are permitted, provided they are road-legal (E-marked/homologated) and positioned correctly (at least 25 cm above the road surface, without aiming higher than the main headlight).

• All auxiliary lights must feature proper street-legal homologation to avoid issues during roadworthiness inspections (MOT/TÜV).

• Mounting is typically achieved using crash bar clamps or by attaching directly to the frame structure. Most auxiliary lights are waterproof (IP67 rated), and packages usually include a complete wiring harness and a heavy-duty switch.

Technical Specifications (Approximate):

• Power Draw: LED lights typically draw between 10–40 W of actual power.

• Luminous Flux: 2,500–6,000 lm.

• Beam Distance: 50–200 m.

• Operating Voltage: 12–30 V DC.

• Operating Temperature: Typically -40 °C to +40 °C.

Lights can be operated either via a standard handlebar switch or through a CANsmart Controller.

The Denali CANsmart™ Controller GEN II is a sophisticated CAN-bus module designed for motorcycles, providing a simple and safe way to connect and control up to four electrical accessories—typically auxiliary lights, horns, auxiliary brake lights, or other gear. It installs plug-and-play directly into the bike's CAN-bus network without tapping or splicing into the factory wiring harness.

Features & Capabilities:

• Controls up to 4 independent accessory circuits with up to 10 A per channel (30 A total maximum draw).

• Fully customizable circuit configuration without forcing pre-assigned accessory types.

• Seamless control integration using original handlebar switches or via the CANsmart Accessory Manager PC software.

• Light intensity modulation including special features like "strobe," "flash to pass," and "cancel with turn signal."

• Fully compatible with DENALI lights, the SoundBomb horn, the B6 brake light, and other electrical accessories.

• Non-invasive, fully reversible installation that leaves original wiring untouched and preserves vehicle warranty.

• Compatible with modern motorcycles from BMW, KTM, Triumph, and other major brands (model-specific variations apply).

Package Contents:

• CANsmart™ Controller

• Light extension cables

• Horn wiring adapter

• Brake light wiring adapters

• CAN-bus pass-through splitter cable

• USB cable (for PC programming)

• Mounting hardware

Key Benefits:

• Effortless control over auxiliary LED lighting intensity and modes, directly from OEM handlebar controls.

• Safe power delivery for high-draw accessories without overloading original factory circuits.

• Waterproof, dustproof, and fully removable setup.

If you are looking for a seamless way to connect and manage accessories (lights, horn, heated gear, etc.) on a modern motorcycle without complex wiring or cutting into original circuits, the Denali CANsmart is one of the best solutions on the market.
