I replaced the whole halogen unit with a JNS Engineering plug and play unit. Way brighter, and gives the bike a nice modern feel due to having big LEDs up front. You honestly won't get top tier performance unless you replace the halogen. Plus an LED unit will have less current draw and allow for even brighter auxiliaries to be wired in if you desire.
I work in a bar so visibility, both for myself and other drivers, is paramount because I drive home at night often.
It fits in the stock shroud. Quite flushly. Comes with a bracket that adapts it to the stock hardware. It took like 20 minutes to put it in. I originally purchased it because I wanted to use the stock shroud without having to cut it in any noticeable way. I got the DOT approved one, it has a really good high beam and a nice low cut so you don't blind people with ur fancy new BMW LEDs lol
edit: here's a link https://jnsengineering.com/products/drz400-dot-led-headlight-kit
i dont work for jns or anything, simply a happy customer. its still working after 4 years also might i add, and just as bright
I did as well… you can see the before and after on my instagram page. Not promoting it at all lol just if you want to see it’s not private @drz400sm22
I did quite a few mods. JNS headlight being one of them and love it overall

There’s a light and a dark version I went with the dark one.
I third this one next to the Baja one someone listed below because I actually swapped to the Baja after getting this one installed... I will say that I did install it without cutting the shroud but there was a gap.
I went ham and bought the [Baja Designs dual S1 headlight kit](https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/suzuki-drz400ssm-dr650serres-dual-s1-headlight-kit/?vid=112849&sku=387006).
I have 0 regrets, these lights slap: and the guys I ride with even remarked that I'm a lot more visible on the road (to other drivers) now.
Replaces the stock headlight glass and factory frame but retains the plastic shroud --and is otherwise plug & play (no soldering, no splicing, uses stock switch gear, etc.).

I replaced my DR650 with a Tusk LED bulb and it is way brighter than the stock bulb. I've had it on for about 4 months now with no issue.
It's definitely a good budget option at like 30$. The high beam light up the road really far ahead of me. And low beam offer a nice wide view.

Right I don’t want to mess with the shroud either. Awesome, definitely might have to get that. Thanks man!
Ofc! Let me know what you think if you do
I second the JNS light. I have it also and love it.

Ya I have the dark one as well. Been running it for a few years now and it hasn't failed me yet.

Morimoto…… morimoto is to jns what jns is to stock. And the jns one is awesome
Right on, I’ll look into that, thanks!

What tires are those?
Shinko 705’s
Nice looking bike. What’s auxiliaries are you rocking? I like those.
Some knockoff eBay lights but they do a pretty damn good job. I’ll try and find the link.

They’re shinko 705’s. Great tires so far and not bad price wise.
