With all the time and effort that is required to install additional lights on a snowmobile especially a viper and considering the abuse they will be subject to, make sure you get the best light you can afford. When it comes to any light fixture, LED or otherwise you will get what you pay for. You will read about how great a cheap fixture works and hear about how much money they saved, what you won’t hear is the trouble they had replacing it a short time later or how inferior there’s is compared to someone else who spent the money and did it right.
I bought A light bar a few years back and installed it to my stock front bumper. I cant remember the brand but it worked out great. I installed A toggle switch and mounted it in the panel right under the bars on the left side. It was very easy to reach down and turn it on or off for on coming traffic. It really helped my old eyes on the trails. I did not have any problem running the wires under the seat. Just run them with the existing wires running back to the battery. I also installed an inline fuse just in case. You can snake the wire in the front under the bumper by drilling a small hole and putting silicone around hole and wire when finished. Just make sure you keep it off any parts that get hot such as exhaust and engine. It was on my 14 Viper LTX as well. It held up great for three years until I traded sled in.All trail riding,not sure it would hold up to much off trail,deep snow riding. I think the light was around 60.00 from a site on ebay motors. It was for an ATV. It was A flood and spot light combo to help with distance as well as width.
