Adventuretech Auxiliary Lights for DL1050

This review should have been done a while ago in Spring 2022.


The DL1050XA/XT has LED Lighting which I feel is quite good when aimed properly. The challenge with Manufacturer LED lighting is there are no user replaceable "Bulbs". While odds are slim of it happening, if they stop working that means you need to buy a new circuit board. I doubt any local place would have a circuit board so that could be a big problem for me on a long trip.

For the reason above I wanted to have a set of Auxiliary lights so that I had lighting in the event the main light stopped working. I ordered Adventure Tech's Auxiliary Lighting all in one kit for the DL1050. The came with some very powerful clear auxiliary lights with an amber lens that can be put over the clear lens if I wanted amber lights. The kit included a mounting bracket and wiring harness. Sometimes (much of the time) I overthink things and when I wrapped my head around it the bracket was easy to mount and does a good job of keeping the lights secure. I don't know if I ran the wiring harness properly but it otherwise was pretty much plug and play.


I have had them mounted on the bike for about 56,000 km / 35,000 miles since April 2022. They have been on the bike to Key West and to Seward, Alaska.

The clear lights are incredibly bright! They pretty much turn night into daytime! The amber lens cover cuts the output a bit and people tell me they are very visible and even when riding at night with the amber on they rarely seem to upset oncoming car drivers . (I try and turn them off though when there is oncoming traffic.) The lights really work well and if you are looking for a set of auxiliary lights I can't see how you can go wrong.

Things break! I know with electronics there is always the chance of something stopping working and in my case I did have an issue with the electronics. Our @richlandrick and his wife run Adventuretech and they were very quick at sending me replacements with no hassle or delay. Great Service! I've bought things from them before and I highly recommend them!
