PIAA LPM137A 130mm 4000K 30W 4000lm LED Cornering Headlight
The PIAA LPM137A cornering headlight is a 130 mm LED headlight from the PIAA Motorsport range, developed to meet the demands of rallying and high-level motorsports. This range of professional lighting is used in the WRC, where beam quality, nighttime visibility, light weight, and reliability are essential.
Used by the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team on the YARIS GR Rally2, the PIAA LPM137A cornering headlight features a wide beam (Wide Beam) specifically designed for illuminating turns. It improves lateral light coverage to better illuminate turn entries, racing lines, turn outlets, and road sides.
With a power rating of just 30 W, it delivers a luminous flux of 4,000 lumens and an intensity of 81,600 cd. Its color temperature of 4,000 k produces a warm white light suitable for reading the road, terrain, and surroundings during nighttime special stages.
A wide beam (Wide Beam) designed for cornering illumination
The primary function of the PIAA LPM137A cornering headlight is to provide wide and effective illumination in curves. Its wide beam distributes light in front of the vehicle while prioritizing extensive lateral coverage.
This light distribution allows the driver to better see the entrance to the turn, the inside line, the outlet, and the sides. It is particularly useful in rallying, where peripheral lighting must complement visibility along the vehicle’s shaft.
In a setup with multiple headlights, the PIAA LPM137A cornering headlight can be paired with headlights featuring different beam patterns to create a rally headlight ramp suited for night stages.
Can also be used as an LED high beam
Although its primary function iscornering illumination, the PIAA LPM137A cornering headlight can also be used as an additional LED high beam when a wider beam pattern is desired.
Its 4,000 lumens and light intensity of 81,600 cd enhance the lighting in front of the vehicle while maintaining significant lateral coverage.
In particular, it can complement high-beam lights that use a more concentrated shaft beam to create a setup that combines lighting depth, beam width, and visibility in curves.
A compact, lightweight led headlight for racing
The carbon composite headlight housing of the PIAA LPM137A cornering headlight combines light weight with a design tailored to the demands of motorsports.
With a weight of just 600 g and a depth of 73.9 mm, this headlight has a compact footprint that makes it easy to integrate into a rally car.
In particular , it can be mounted on a headlight ramp, in a bumper, or on a custom bracket designed for the vehicle. Its design also allows for flush or recessed mounting to achieve a compact integration.
Since the universal bracket is not included, the tuner retains the option to create a mounting solution specifically tailored to the vehicle and the layout of the various headlights.
Recommendations for Electrical Mounting and Bracket Fabrication
For a reliable installation in competition, it is recommended to power the PIAA LPM137A cornering headlight using a dedicated wiring harness that includes a relay and fuse protection, properly sized for the installation.
The headlight uses a Deutsch connector. The PIAA LR-56 wiring harness, available separately, also allows for the connection of two headlight units.
When fabricating a headlight ramp or a custom mounting bracket, carefully review the headlight’s dimensional diagram before proceeding with mounting. Be sure to check the diameter, depth, overall dimensions, and position of the mounting points to ensure the bracket is properly fitted.
Also, be sure to allow sufficient space behind the headlight for the connectors and the wiring harness for the electrics.
A PIAA Motorsport range Used in the WRC
The PIAA LPM137A cornering headlight is part of the PIAA Motorsport range, developed to meet the specific demands of professional motorsports. PIAA lights in this range are used in the World Rally Championship (WRC) as well as in other particularly demanding competitive environments.
The PIAA LPM137A cornering headlight is used by the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team on the YARIS GR Rally2.
This use in competition directly illustrates the product’s purpose: to offer a powerful, compact, and lightweight led headlight with a wide beam optimized to improve visibility in turns.
