XL40 (D/C) LED Headlight Kit - KTM 150-300 XC-W; 350-500 EXC-F/XW-F; 450 XCF-W ('24-26)

The Baja Designs KTM XL40 LED Headlight Kit is a direct-replacement motorcycle headlight built for trail riders, Dual Sport enthusiasts, and desert racers who need serious visibility on technical terrain after dark. Derived from the XL80 platform, the XL40 brings that same proven pedigree to bikes running lower-output OEM stators that couldn't support a higher-draw light — meaning riders who've been stuck with dim stock lighting finally have a capable upgrade path.

The kit uses the XL Trail Lens pattern, which redistributes light both vertically and horizontally to eliminate harsh hot spots and deliver smooth, even coverage across the trail ahead. This matters most on tight singletrack, quick elevation changes, and blind corners where a traditional center-heavy beam leaves the edges of the trail in shadow.

Installation is straightforward because the kit includes the Motominded bracket designed specifically for compatible KTM models, so the light mounts precisely without fabrication or guesswork. Note that a wiring harness is sold separately, so make sure to grab one if your bike doesn't already have a compatible setup.

If your night rides or early-morning desert stages have been limited by what your stock headlight can do, the XL40 kit is the direct, no-compromise solution built for exactly that problem.
