Suggestions for LED driving lights?
My TXT had a set of rectangular lights installed on the front shock cover when I bought it and they are wired to the battery pack with rocker switch installed in dash. They work but really throw a poor beam and I am not happy with them. Granted I don't drive a lot at night but in the event I need to, I want lights that are effective. I have seen some LED addon lights on UTVs and they seemed to work well. Anyone have experience with adding LEDs? I have a separate 12 volt battery in my cart wired to a power point and thought I would also shift the lights to this 12 v deep cycle as well.

I've got 27w LEDs on mine not mounted good yet but they are very bright. actually bought some 5 watt LEDs also to use in campground cause the 27's will blind people.

Re: Suggestions for LED driving lights?
Has anyone done a side by side comparison with standard 55 watt bulbs? Mine recently got smashed when a visiting kid hit the gas. Since I left the key "on", I can't blame him.
I'd love to get LEDs, but don't wanna sacrifice long distance illumination, especially since I do most of my high speed traveling at night. "Blinding" and good illumination aren't necessarily the same. One down side to LEDs is that you can't simply use a toggle switch to go from parallel to series for bright and dim. You have to do like I did on my dome light and tear apart the LED pack to toggle between some and all LEDs. |

I plan to Chang my 2 27 watt lights from 12v to 24v. they can run on 10-30v so I'm going to run them on 4 batteries and my radio and other stuff of the other 2 batteries.

Re: Suggestions for LED driving lights?
Agreed, but doesn't answer the question. How many watts/intensity/whatever? should I shoot for, to equal my (dead) 55 watt lamps?
I've seen a LOT of MagLights that used to use good ole bulbs, but now use LEDs. Their adjustability sux, and when batts are low, they don't go dim, they go out. Again, I wanna buy something in the next coupla weeks, and would like LEDs, but I ain't been wowed yet. |

Couple of H3 bulbs are $10. For now just change them and research the LEDs. MO
