🔦 Front LED Headlight (Optional Accessory)

If you added the Bafang front LED headlight, it wires off the display's low-voltage output and mounts to the fork crown or handlebar. It's a quick add-on that follows the same cabling path as the rest of your kit.

✅ Quick answer: the headlight powers from the display's low-voltage output — mount it, wire it in, and route the lead alongside your existing harness.

Install steps

  • Pick a mounting spot. Mount the headlight to your fork crown or handlebar.
  • Wire it to the display. The headlight runs off the display's low-voltage output — connect its lead there.
  • Route the lead with the harness. Run the lead alongside the other harness cabling so it follows the same clean path as the rest of your kit.
  • Leave a drip loop at the connector. Add a drip loop at the connector before you finish.
⚠️ Heads up: leave a drip loop at the connector.
