Home > Dual Sport > Yamaha WR250X/R Parts > Modification Guide > Lighting/Electrical Guide We get alot of emails and phone calls about replacing the stock headlight, tail light and turn signals on the WR250R / WR250X, so we decided to put together this lighting guide. I've broke it down into several different sections... - REPLACING THE FACTORY HEADLIGHT BULB - REPLACING THE FACTORY REAR TAIL LIGHT AND TURN SIGNALS - REPLACING THE FACTORY FRONT TURN SIGNALS - PACKAGE DEALS - OTHER PRODUCTS TO CONSIDER REPLACING THE FACTORY HEADLIGHT BULB OPTION 1: Cyclops LED Headlight Bulb (shown in photo above) If you're looking for the brightest headlight bulb available for your WR250R / WR250X, the Cyclops 10.0 H4 LED bulb is the answer. These are the brightest, smallest and most reliable H4 replacement LED bulbs available on the market today! They provide HID performance with all the benefits of LED, and are an amazing upgrade over the stock Halogen headlight bulb, or even the PIAA Halogen bulbs discussed above. The bright white light they provide will light up road hazards, and make you much more visible on the road.

The Edge Tail Light kit bolts directly to the sub-frame of the WR250R/X, and the DRC Type 601/602 turns signals bolt to the Edge Tail Light kit itself. This setup gives you a nice compact tail light/turn signal assembly that looks 100x better than the stock unit.

This tail light also features safety brake pulsing, and brighter overall LED's than the standard DRC Edge2 Tail Lights have.

To get the new LED turn signals/flashers to operate as running lights AND to flash at the slow stock flash rate, see the section labeled "Other Products To Consider" at the bottom of this page.

This trick little setup integrates a pair of turn signals/flashers into the plastic part of the hand guards. To get the new LED turn signals/flashers in the XC Protectors to operate as running lights AND to flash at the slow stock flash rate, see the section labeled "Other Products To Consider" at the bottom of this page.

Zeta Armor Hand Guard Package Deal OTHER PRODUCTS TO CONSIDER 12oclockLabs Running Light Adapters Many bikes will come from the factory with turn signals/flashers that also operate as running lights when the bike is turned on and/or running. On dual sport bikes like the WR250R/X, only the front turn signals/flashers operate as running lights. If you install aftermarket LED turn signals/flashers, like the DRC Type 601, DRC Type 602, or even the Zeta XC Flasher protectors, you will lose the running light feature. If you want to retain that, you need to install a 12oclockLabs Running Light Adapter. Links: 12oclockLabs Running Light Adapters 12oclockLabs Fixed Rate Turn Signal Flasher If you install aftermarket LED turn signals/flashers, like the DRC Type 601, DRC Type 602, or even the Zeta XC Flasher protectors, they will flash at a faster rate than the stock turn signals did. This is because OEM flashers are designed for standard bulbs which draw a few watts each, much more than typical aftermarket bulbs or LED signals. If you want your new LED's to flash at the slower rate of the factory turn signals, you will need to install a 12oclockLabs Fixed Rate Turn Signal Flasher.

Not only does it make the standard Edge Tail Light brighter, but it also has features like safety brake pulsing and integrated turn signals. Links: 12oclockLabs DRC Edge2 Processor Upgrade Board 12oclockLabs Programmable Animated Turn Signals 12oClockLabs has created one of the coolest LED turn signals available on the market. These LED flashers feature programmable animated turn signal technology, packed into a compact motorcycle turn signal. With 8 selectable turn signal modes, built in running light adapter capability, and internal flash rate control capability, this product delivers everything you have ever wanted out of an LED turn signal and more.
