Is anyone running aftermarket bulbs in their winder? I rode with a 900t with piaa leds this weekend and it made my lights seem inadequate. I had rocks hids in my apex but don’t think he make anything for the sidewinder yet.

The Winder has LED's stock. There is no changing the bulbs in them.
I think the lights are awesome on the Winder. Maybe your's need adjusting?

I just put rocks headlight adjuster on and it’s nice to adjust on the fly. I loved my headlights and thought they were great until I road that ski doo. You can’t take the bulbs out on the sidewinder? Maybe I’ll put a light bar on the handlebars.

Winder has no bulbs.

I thought the strip was a accent strip that comes on with the key then when started the the bulbs came on. I love light and will just have to do something else.

I loved my Winder stock LED alot more last season.....
Last season was milder most the time, which translates to LITTLE snowdust.
This past weekend, riding in minus 25c hi temps and colder in early/late day....we have a ton of fine snow dust when rallying through the trails at big speeds. We like to run hard sled to sled, and basically stay tight.
Last night was just impossible, with cold temps just had to back off and get behind the dust....I find the LED light to be so "white" that is plays on the dust badly. Hi beam is worse obviously, but needed at 'buck-nine' in the tight stuff....we tend to really turn up the wick at night as we can see any oncoming lights or groomers.
This was the first time i agreed with what my dealer had told me about his 'cold' run in Qc and the LED lights.
