Light Upgrades?

[Krandall]

So.. In late August I have a Night XC Race. I've been thinking about doing a light upgrade for the rappy. Has anyone run a self made HID kit?

Soltek Lighting is a member........He's got some really cool set-ups.  Maybe drop him a PM?

Do you know what the stock stator output is?

Wait what is the bulb size on the raptor

[Bert]

Not sure Krandall. I don't have my Tech manual here to look

shookie the Raptor is 35W

The stock raptor stator is pretty stoute, it should handle about any HID you through at it.

I remember reading others having their battery's drain due to some sort of light

[preddy08]

I was reading on Ricky Stator's website about ATV that require rewound hi-ouput stator for big light kits. They raptor and predator was the only two that did'nt need it.

I installed 2 4" fuego halogen lights from Baja Designs. They are built really nice. The wiring harness is sweet. It has water tight connectors, fused and comes with a handlebar switch with low(lights up one light) or high(lights up both) I got the lights,Piaa bulb upgrade,1" drop bracket, wiring harness and 2 rock guards,Which are plastic covers that snap over the lights for even more protection. One of my rock guards cracked and Baja design sent me a replacement. No questions asked. They have great customer service. And these lights are really bright. I was lighting up the way for riders in front of me on the trail. If your thinking about lights for your rappy,These are the way to go. I was going to do the hid kit for the stock housings. But after looking at the reflectors they are not designed for good light dispersion IMO. The better the reflector the better the light. I learned that by wasting the money on the brighter bulbs for my 660.  Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic.

dang those things are bright as heck!

I'm really hoping to find a "bolt in" replacement though.

These are self contained with their own wiring harness, fuse and switch. You can still keep your stockers.(Which you can't even see when these are on)When riding at night it really helps that the lights turn with the bars. Besides the halogen's are half the cost of the HID's.

by the looks of it they take up a lot of room on the bars.
