IPF Lighting Systems & Bulbs: BestRest Products BMW motorcycle accessories

For years we've used Piaa and Hella lights with good results. We were content with their performance but struggled with the price. Then one day a customer told us about IPF lights. We did some research and discovered reasonably priced, high quality lighting systems and replacement headlight bulbs that are perfect for motorcycle applications. We contacted the US importer (who also happens to be here in Seattle) and signed on as a distributor. We can now offer prices on IPF lights that are lower than most other IPF dealers.

IPF High Performance Lighting Systems

IPF has long been the favorite lighting system of 4x4 and off-road enthusiasts. IPF lights are famous for their durability, exceptional quality, and superior performance. They’re generally less expensive than comparable lighting systems because IPF spends their money on research and performance, instead of glossy advertising or slick marketing or exaggerated performance claims. To prove their point, all IPF lighting systems come with a 1-year guarantee against system failure or bulb burnout !

BestRest carefully selected IPF models suitable for motorcycle applications, then we tested them to make sure they met our standards. We’re confident you’ll be satisfied with the results.

Model REV1

Want a set of compact lights similar to the Piaa 1100 series but don't want to pay an arm and a leg? Then these lights are for you. REV1 lights measure only 2.4" high x 3.2" wide x 2.5" deep. The silver lightweight high impact resin housing contains a powerful max white 55W H3 bulb that performs in the 110W class. The hardened glass multi-reflector lens provides a driving/flood pattern, perfect for night time driving conditions or daytime conspicuity.

The best feature of this new system is the WIRELESS REMOTE SWITCH. It measures only .5" thick x 1.25" wide x 2" long and can be mounted anywhere with velcro or double stick tape. You can put it in your tankbag, on your handlebars, or anywhere else that's convenient. REV1 lighting systems come with two lamp assemblies, the wireless remote switch, relay and wiring harness.

IPF systems include 2 light assemblies, bulbs, wiring harness & waterproof connectors, switch, relay, brush guards or covers (except S9614), and full installation instructions. Mounting brackets for the motorcycle are not included.

Check with local authorities regarding operation of auxiliary lighting systems on public roads. Select a lighting system that fits within the electrical capacity of your motorcycle. Most charging systems easily handle an extra pair of 55W bulbs. High output lighting system should be used with motorcycles having a charging system rated at more than 500 watts. Other electrical accessories may also affect your charging system.

Lighting systems are not eligible for return or refund but they will be replaced under warrantee if found to be defective or the bulbs burn out, within 1 year of purchase.

IPF High Performance Bulbs

IPF also makes high performance replacement bulbs that fit H1, H3, H4, H7 and H11 headlight systems. Upgrading your stock headlight is as easy as unplugging your existing bulb and replacing it with a high quality IPF unit. The improvement in how well you see the road at night (or how well you’re seen by others in daylight) is immediately apparent. As with IPF lighting systems, all IPF bulbs come with a 1-year performance guarantee against bulb burnout !

Replacing your stock headlight bulb is the most cost effective method of upgrading your light output. IPF bulbs are less expensive than other high performance bulbs offered elsewhere, and come with a 1-year guarantee against burnout or failure. No other manufacturer offers this level of protection. IPF spends their money on research and product performance, instead of glossy advertising or exaggerated performance claims. We've selected the best bulbs for motorcycle applications.

Don't confuse these high performance IPF bulbs with the cheaper ones you can buy at any local auto parts store. Those bulbs aren't even in the same league! Cheaper, yes. Better, NO. You really do get what you pay for when you invest in an IPF bulb.

IPF's new H1 Xenon Bulb is marketed under the trade name "Super Low Beam", just like the X51 above, but don't let that "low beam" designation fool you! These bulbs are suitable for any headlight system using H1 bulbs, whether it's for a high beam or a low beam application.

The X11 is rated as a true 65 watts bulb. It draws 10 more watts than a stock H1 bulb, but because of the exotic xenon gas mix and robust filament design using the highest quality components, these bulbs produce a claimed equivalent 150 watt performance. And they do it without modifications to your electrical system. These bulbs produce considerably more clear white light than any stock bulb we've seen.

Most auto parts stores and motorcycle dealerships charge about $10-$15 for a standard 55W H1 bulb. Although IPF bulbs cost more than a stock bulb they perform twice as well. By comparison, Piaa sells their 55W high output H1 bulb for around $40 each. You do the math.;

Bulbs are rated by wattage (power): We list low beam rating as the first number, high beam rating as the second number. Other manufacturers may list them in reverse. Check your motorcycle owner’s manual for the style you require (H1,H3,H4,H7,H11) and wattage recommendations.

Claims of performance or optical equivalent output are provided by the manufacturer and cannot be verified by BestRest. It's a well known fact that all of the lighting manufacturers resort to "creative marketing" when it comes to making claims about the performance of their lights. All we can say is that we’ve tested IPF lights on the road and their performance greatly exceeded our expectations. That’s why we sell them with confidence.

Bulbs are not eligible for return or refund. They'll be replaced under warrantee if found to be defective or if they burn out within 1 year of purchase. Contact BestRest for details.
