The headlights are an essential component of your UTV. Even if you never intend to ride after dark, your headlights will make you more visible to other riders, especially in weather and terrain conditions that reduce visibility (like rain or dense foliage). If you are looking for ways to make your UTV safer, you should consider investing in better headlights!
This guide from Honda Parts Direct will break down the options for UTV headlights, so you can make an informed purchase. You can shop for Honda® UTV parts and accessories right here on our website! We ship to customers worldwide from our home base in Palestine, TX.
Halogen Vs. LED Bulbs
The key component of any headlight is the bulb, and there are two main options to consider: halogen or LED bulbs. Most standard headlights use halogen bulbs, but LED headlights are getting more and more popular these days, and for good reason. LED bulbs are much brighter and more efficient, and they have longer lifespans than halogen bulbs.
That said, LED bulbs are not compatible with all UTV headlights. If you want to upgrade to LED bulbs, you may need to install new headlights.
Projector Headlights
Projector headlights are compatible with high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs, so this is a great option if you are looking to upgrade to LED bulbs. As the name implies, projector headlights are designed to project a more focused beam of light, so they can illuminate greater distances than standard headlights. Fortunately, they are also aimed downward at the trail, so you don't need to worry about other riders being blinded by your headlights.
OEM Vs. Aftermarket Headlights
Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are always the best option for vehicle upgrades of any kind, and UTV headlights are no exception. When you choose OEM parts, you can rest assured that the new component will be compatible with your UTV.
If you decide to go with aftermarket or custom headlights, you will have to make special efforts to ensure compatibility and performance. Just keep in mind that headlights are an important safety feature, and you don't want to take any chances!
