LED Headlights

[Weapon X]

Has anybody tried latest LED headlights yet ? seems like a good idea ,they come in same color and lumens of HID's and draw way less power off of the sled.

yea just get like a 12" light bar be 10 times brighter than the stock light just would piss anyone off you would meet on the trail at night.

Some guy on Dootalk installed an LED light bar on the bumper. You can buy a 36 watt LED light bar on eBay around $70 ish CDN.

I'm going to be installing an LED light bar on my front bumper soon, wired up to the high beams. The only issue is most LEDs on the market are ~6000k which causes some pretty good snow blindness and has poor color rendition making it hard to pick out small objects. Some manufactures will build/make the lights with other K ratings is you ask. I'm ordering up a ~3700k from Rigid which is about the same color as bright halogens.

Are you talking about an LED bulb replacement?

Im not sure they would be bright enough...? Most of the super bright light bars, etc use a super powerful LED combined with a specific reflector to achieve a good beam pattern. In our case it would be crapshoot tossing one into the Phazer headlight assembly.

Do you have a link to something you've found? What is the standard bulb# for the Phazer?

For various 12v and 110v applications I have had great luck with http://www.superbrightleds.com/ but have not tried any headlight replacements.

just be cautious, some of the LED models don't have dual intensity

Ya exactly Mike that's why I'm askin questions now before I buy because not sure if they do.

 

[MikeWalters]

Not sure on that one, it says "Can be converted high or low light"

To me that sounds like high OR low, not both?

Having said that I have NEVER in 3 years used my brights...not sure if it would be an issue for you though

There junk I tried that style bulb in my street bike, totally useless waste of money, a candle would be better.

X2 on that. Made the same mistake, take your money and flush it down the toilet, would be a better option.
