      Anything will work as long as it has a high and low beam, but it depends how handy you are with the wiring. It's not difficult if you have a multimeter

        Yeah you can get loads of these universal ones. Can't say how bright they are, but then the stock DTR headlighht isn't bright anyway.

                @declan As others have stated, it's all about personal taste and what sort of look you're going for? Are you looking to keep the enduro look, or go for more of a street SuMo style look? Personally I do not like the over-busy panels with graffiti style graphics. The concept I had for my DTR was a contemporary look. I kept it traditional style with a more modern updated look, hence why I wrapped the panels in carbon look vinyl and added decals over the top. I wanted it to look enduro style with a street feel, which I felt I managed.

                Swapping panels for a different colour or spraying them, changes the look of a bike and will keep it fresh looking. Spraying engine panels, pegs, swing-arms etc. will help the bike look newer and not aged. New modern looking mudguards, spoke wraps, fresh decals and even street tyres will change the look and feel of your bike dramatically. I always like a simple, somewhat plain look, with a chosen theme running through it works the best, but it's your call really dude. Polisport make some cool LMX headlights;

                https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/sis.html?_kw=Polisport+LMX+Lamp+mask+Headlight+Black+Aprilia+ETX+125+MX+125+MX+50&_id=331657438874&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2658

                And you can even run this bulb in it:

                I would personally pick a simple theme of no more than 3 or 4 colours, like say a black body, silver engine, with white panels and add a splash of blue parts/decals for some bling for example and co-ordinate your parts to that effect. But it's your call dude, pick whatever style & colours you like and just go nuts!!! LOL 😉

                SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

                  @CYBER-NINJA lol I hear you man and the sticker bomb isn't my favourite but it's covering up the paint chips on the tank until I can get it professionals wrapped and the colour scheme is quite busy but mostly temporary
