    Thats true. I heard from them as well. I visited the showroom to check with the head lights pointing to the sky.

      The idea is increased visibility to people on the road.

Hope you are aware that the high beams and low beams together generate a lotta heat together which can harm the headlight assembly/wiring and also draw more power from battery. Though its not much harm until ridden hard all night on a regular basis.

        Of course pilot lights are for DRL's Im eager to see how the DRL looks in LED. Post pics please!


        Does it come with dual horn? How loud it is? Has any one changed the stock horn?

Instead of headlights just proprietary lights called DRL were brought in to play. They were purely for safety reasons. They glow when a motor vehicle is fired up.

        But now it has been put to aesthetic use as well. We call it pilot lamps/DRL's.

        My dear brothers.

        Where exactly do we see this in the 300 ? Does the headlight keep running on low bean all the time ? Is this what we call as DRL ?

          LOL.. No Bro. There are a pair of pilot lamps(park lamps, whatever u call them) right? We leave it on while riding during the day time. Hence DRL.

          Pilot lamp = DRL.
          Hence proved!

            I guess that clears the doubt.

              Just fire the engine, run to the front of the vehicle, You can see two eyebrow like things running. I guess its 5W lamp. Those are the DRLs you are looking for.

                If I am not wrong, I heard from Benelli themselves when I went to check out the bikes for the first time, seeing the headlight off/on switch, which if any of you have noticed on the Benelli bikes of other countries, they don't have it, the lights just come on the instant the bike comes to life, but Benelli were thoughtful enough to put a light off and on switch on the right hand side console (the same place where the hazard warning switch is located in outside countries) to save the bulbs as well as the battery as that kind of law is more mandatory in Europe and America more, but I guess by 2017 its going to be mandatory here too.

                      HAHA!! I do see the lights switched on. I see four lamps. 2 tiger lamps (RE term) and 2 parking lights.

                      Does this happen every time the vehicle is switched on? I mean all four lamps burning ?

                      This is why Harley Davidson bikes have the light switched on always!!

                              Let it get dirty my friend. Do not maintain it like a princess. Maintain it like a soldier. Out and dirty, wash once in a while and just ride it. Let it be muddy, splattered with slush and dirt. It gives you a feeling of ' buddy, job well done'

                                Agree to that bit. Its a different pleasure when you see a dirty bike after riding her hard.
