Motorcycle Tail Lights: LED vs Incandescent Pros and Cons

Adding the right motorcycle tail light to your motorcycle can make the difference between having a cool motorcycle and really cool motorcycle. Motorcycle tail lights come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and picking the right one for your build can really make a difference in how the rear of the bike looks. Lowbrow Customs carries a nice assortment of custom motorcycle tail lights to choose from.

There are two main types of motorcycle tail lights for sale. LED motorcycle tail lights and incandescent motorcycle tail lights. There are benefits to both types of lighting you may want to consider.

Motorcycle Led Tail Light Bulbs

The introduction of LED lighting has been really beneficial for motorcycle lighting as a whole. LED lights pull less amps than incandescent lights do and they generate a lot less heat. This is beneficial when your lights have plastic lenses. LED lights are also popular because they tend to be brighter than incandescent lights. Having a bright motorcycle brake light is an important safety feature and adding an LED motorcycle tail light can really help make the back of your bike more noticeable to oncoming drivers. Another benefit to LED motorcycle tail lights is that they are resistant to vibration and they last much longer than incandescent lights do. If you ride a hard tail or a bobber that is lacking in the rear suspension department, having a vibration resistant aftermarket motorcycle tail light is a benefit.

Incandescent Tail Lights

Incandescent lighting on the other hand is good for retaining the classic look and function. If you are building a vintage bike, incandescent lighting is the way to go. Incandescent motorcycle tail lights work fine and they won’t “modernize” your bike like an LED light will. Lowbrow Customs carries a nice selection of incandescent motorcycle brake lights that have that vintage look so many people like. Brands like No School Choppers which produce vintage style motorcycle tail lights with real glass lenses and steel housings. These are universal motorcycle tail lights that can be adapted to most custom applications and they look fantastic.
