Lights

[sheeblast]

well a site was having a deal on the trail tech handle bar style lights, bought it.
but the mount didn't work, so i made my own.

what i used to make the mount.

i still have to wire the lights up. I will be taking the mount off and painting the underside black and make the polish job better, i know it sucks.

Looks good. Those LED lights too?

 

[sheeblast]

they still have the spot and flood lights that come with them, i have to put in some LEDS, but once i do my DC conversion and get a more powerful stator, I am going to run HIDs

 

[stabor1122]

Light up the night with those HIDs. Are thos other LEDs you have actually bright enough to ride at night?

 

[sheeblast]

they are ok, roughly around stockish. but that isn't good for going fast at night. it is enough to let you cruise in the woods at night. but i have been swapping out lights to different colors. i want a pure white light.

I am trying to decide what i am going to use for lights. the nice thing about LEDs is you can run more of them but I have heard that they are not real bright.

 

[sheeblast]

once I get these hooked up, i will get your a picture of how much light they give.

Sounds good. I dont ride a lot at night but I want to be able to see if I have to.

i would think that these two trail tech lights on the handle bar would be better than the blaster single light. but i will see how the LEDs do. i know you should be able to run two 25-35watt lights on a stock blaster.

Yeah thats what I am considering right now (two 35watt LEDs). Just wasnt sure if they would be enough light since the LEDs shine brighter but not as far. At least that is what I have heard.

I used that round thing you cut up. I baked pizza with that you douche.

LEDs will give off way more light per a watt than halogen. HID is better than both.
but I am running cheap LEDS right now.
if you are running the higher watt LEDs, i would suggest doing a DC conversion to get a more stable current flow to the lights. dont want to blow them up.

welcome to your bro's new trail tech diet,
mama mia..........no more pizza's for you !!!!!!!!!!
