Steps to Put New Lights on Your Bike
Deciding on Placement
Firstly you should decide where you want to put the new bike light. Mostly, bike light is put in both the front and back of the bike so that the visibility can be increased while driving at night.

The exact model of the bike light that was purchased also takes part in deciding the location. Some of the bike lights are designed to clip in specific positions while others are more generic.
The centre of the handlebars is a great place to attach a bike light if you want to put it in front of your bike. There would come many reasons due to which you have to change the location, for example, the centre space might be already taken by the reflector.
Installing Batteries
The second step is to install the batteries. It may be the case that the new bike light would have already installed a button cell type battery in it. If this is the case, you should remove the screws that are holding the battery case shut by using a screwdriver.
It could also happen that the space for a button cell battery is already present. Other cases are also possible to exist. A screwdriver can be used to replace the cover.
Attaching
The way of attaching bike light can be different depending on the model of the bike light. Mostly, tightening the clip it fits snugly and is involved in attaching the bike light. This process is done by clipping the light in the right location.
Adjusting
Bike lights need to be adjusted to make them more visible. By doing up and down the lights you can adjust them. You should also turn the light on and adjust its direction to get the right adjustment. If you don’t do it properly the bike light can illuminate anything for you the next time while riding the bike at night.
