Rear Light, Yes. Headlight, Ummm

By Wally Phillips Departmentofgoods.com Employee July 20, 2011

I'll be straight with everyone, I HATE big bike headlights. They feel clunky and are an eyesore to me. Unfortunately, that is exactly what this has. While the mounting for both the front and tail light is pretty intuitive and strong, why did the headlight have to be so freaking big? The tail light on the other hand is the perfect size and gives out a great amount of light for it's size. If you are unlike me and don't mind big clunky headlights, give this a try.

I must own the previous generation model of this. I had to color the top edge of the lens black so it didn't shine in my eyes. This one is tinted all the way around. I agree about the size, I also have another cheap headlight, its like a small led flashlight, works just as good, half the size.
