Transform Your Ride's Night Vision: HJG God's Eye LED Headlight Review (Himalayan 411 Featured)

Why I Upgraded My Himalayan's Headlight

I love night rides. There's something about the empty highways at 2 AM that just hits different. But my Himalayan 411's stock headlight? Not so much.

After one too many close calls squinting at potholes, I decided enough was enough. Enter the HJG God's Eye LED Headlight.

 

First Impressions

Right out of the box, the build quality impressed me. Die-cast aluminum housing, solid polycarbonate lens, and that signature dual DRL design (white outer ring + red inner glow). It looks premium - reminds me of the Yamaha Ténéré 700's headlight setup.

The Difference is Night and Day (Literally)

Stock Himalayan headlamp puts out around 1,000 lumens. The God's Eye? Up to 12,000 lumens. That's 12x brighter.

  • Works with 12V-80V systems

Real-World Performance

High Beam:

The high beam throws light way beyond 100 meters. I can actually see road signs in advance now and spot potholes before they become a problem.

Low Beam:

Low beam has a proper cutoff so I'm not blinding oncoming traffic, but still gives me way better visibility than stock. Perfect for city riding and when there's traffic.

DRL Mode:

The dual DRL makes me way more visible during the day. Trucks and cars notice me much earlier now.

The Honest Truth

What I love:

  • Massive improvement in visibility
  • Solid build quality
  • Looks premium
  • Works great in rain (IP68 rating is legit)

What could be better:

  • Not plug-and-play - needs proper wiring
  • Very bright - you need to aim it correctly

Who Should Get This?

If you ride at night frequently, do long highway runs, or go off-road, this is a no-brainer. The visibility upgrade is genuinely life-changing.

If you only ride in the city during the day, you probably don't need it.

Final Thoughts

The HJG God's Eye transformed my night riding experience. I actually enjoy riding at night now instead of dreading it. For 5k, it's one of the best upgrades I've made to my Himalayan.
