This invention relates generally to motorcycle headlights and more particularly to the attachment of LED motorcycle headlights to standard OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) headlight housing mounting brackets.
Prior art motorcycles are manufactured with standard OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) headlights that are attachable to OEM headlight housing mounting brackets. The OEM housing mounting brackets have specific mounting points for attachment of the standard OEM headlights. It has been found that in many instances standard OEM headlights do not provide sufficient lighting in all conditions and circumstances. As such, improved motorcycle headlights are needed. This is accomplished by forming the headlight bulbs as LED bulbs. However, LED motorcycle headlights do not have mounting connectors on the back portions thereof to connect with OEM housing mounting brackets. Some have tried to use mounting tape or weather stripping to make the connection, however these methods are not secure, become loose easily, and disconnect quickly and often. Thus, a need exists for an improved LED motorcycle headlight that provides sufficient lighting in conditions and circumstances that the standard OEM headlights do not and that will securely connect with the mounting points of existing OEM motorcycle mounting brackets to avoid the above-mentioned problems.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of standard OEM motorcycle headlights or the like in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved motorcycle headlight. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide an improved motorcycle headlight that provides sufficient lighting in conditions and circumstances that the standard OEM headlights do not and that will securely connect with the mounting points of existing OEM motorcycle housing mounting brackets with all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.
