Our headlight module is designed to increase the daytime visibility of your motorcycle by modulating your bike's existing headlight(s), in order to gain the attention of traffic that may pulling out in front of you, or turning left in front of you.
Features
Default Function: The Modulator will default to the "modulation on" state any time your motorcycle is started during daylight conditions. It will then modulate either the low or high beam (whichever you have selected) unless you manually switch off the modulation or low lighting conditions disable the modulation via the module's photo eye. If you have a bike that turns the high beam on in addition to the low bean when in the high beam position (instead of toggling between the two) only the high beam will modulate (low beam will be steady on).
Toggle Modulation ON or OFF at any time: With the Signal Dynamics Headlight Modulator you can easily toggle the modulation off and on by switching your bike's existing high/low switch to the opposite position and then back within 1 second. This is the only module on the market with this feature!
Auto Night Shut-Off The Plug & Play™ Headlight Module is designed to automatically turn on and off at specific light levels in order to comply with the DOT's regulation of no night time modulation.
Horn Alert Feature The headlight module has an input wire that attaches to your bikes horn wire (optional). When installed this feature will add a visual alert to your horn's audible alert during daytime conditions if you have the modulation toggled off. Pressing the horn will cause your headlight to modulate for 3 seconds and then return to steady on. This is the only module on the market with this feature!
Fitment & Required Harness Options
In order to use the Plug and Play™ Headlight Module you MUST also purchase the appropriate adapter harness for your motorcycle (sold separately unless you purchase the module / harness Combo). If you are unsure of which
Installation
First locate your headlight connector(s), (this may require some disassembly of your fairings). Next you will need to simply disconnect your existing headlight plug(s) and install our harness between between your bikes harness and your headlight. Then connect the 6 pin male connector from the adapter harness to the 6 pin female connector on the Plug & Play™ Headlight Module (this connector is polarized so it can only connect one way). Once everything is connected you will need to mount the optic sensor (grey or black wire with a photo eye on the end). We recommend mounting the optic sensor in a water protected area facing the road. Under the fairing pointed at the front fender is usually a good location. It is very important that the optic sensor is not facing toward the sky or directly at oncoming traffic, as headlights and street lights at night may cause the headlight module to activate. For those who would like a more permanent installation of the "Day Light Sensor", a 5/16 hole can be drilled into fairing. Otherwise, it can be secured to one of the bikes wires or cables with the zip tie. If you would like to utilize the horn feature use the included blue tap splice connector to connect the green wire from the harness adapter to the bike’s horn wire. The bike’s horn wire is the wire that connects the bike’s horn button to the bike’s horn. Note: there only two wires on the horn itself and one of them is where the green wire connects. Choosing the wrong wire will not harm the module or the bike in anyway; The horn feature will just not work. To finish mount the Headlight Module with the enclosed adhesive pad and secure all wiring in a manner that will not interfere with any of the bike’s controls. To test the module use an incandescent light source or move outdoors during the day - fluorescent shop lights and LED lighting will not activate the module.

This is my second headlight modulator, but my first my signal dynamics. The hardware seems to be very well built. Albeit a little large, depending upon the amount of space you have available in your headlight. I was able to stuff everything inside my headlight after the installation was complete. My only complaint is that the optional horn wire was too short for my bike to be used, and I think the sensor is overly large for no reason. The sensor on my previous modulator was very slim and inconspicuous. SD gives you the option to permanently mount the sensor so I understand the size. All in all I am satisfied with my purchased and have considered getting the rear light modulator as well.

Short story. I have ridden motorcycles since my first 305 Honda Scrambler in the mid 1960's. Since I have owned 10 more from Honda to Harley. My current 1984 Yamaha Venture has 179,000 miles on it and still going strong.
My biggest concern is not being seen on the roadway. Having to have laid my bike down thee times in its life, I was always given the excuse "Sorry I didn't see you". This headlight pulser increases my visability by at least 500 percent. It is truely a device that should be installed on every motorcycle that takes to the road.
If you are concerned for your safety, I highly recommend purchasing this device. It's alot cheeper than an erergency room visit.

I have an older version "Diamond Star" modulator which was satisfactory but did have some issues. It's refreshing to deal with a company that actually improves n an already good product. Absolutely NO issues this time, works perfectly & increases my confidence that people may actually see me coming. Good job!

This is my 2nd install of the headlight modulator. First one was a couple of years ago on my 2004 GL1800. I can't tell you how many times I have see car drivers hesitate and not pull out in front of me because they noticed the flashing lights. Just got a new to me 2007 Goldwing and this was the first accessory I installed. Did have a problem with the harness adaptor, (see that review), but a great product overall. Just be warned, if your bike has the comfort package, getting to the left hi beam is a job.
