Dick Wheels Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) I have been thinking of putting some lights on my shee. It has none now and the previous owner cut the damn brackets off too. Would I be able to run a pair of 50watt halogen lights without any mods or higher wattage stator? All my factory wiring and switch is intact here is a pic of them Edited October 26, 2008 by Dick Wheels Quote
2001Stroker Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 I think you have to convert to DC for those. Quote
Snopczynski Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 They wont be as bright as a 50w halogen usually is. You need to run 35 watt bulbs with a stock stator. Quote
notsed Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 i tried those same lights and i couldnt see 10 feet in front of me. the stock ones are much brighter Quote
Dick Wheels Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Posted October 26, 2008 yea i was planning on doing the 35 watt bulbs. they were cheap and mainly for looks, i usually dont ride in the dark. My main concern was I want lights without the DC conversion Quote
yamshe Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 i just put those lights on my shee but i havent rode at night with them. is it gonna burn my stator or anything up if i run them? Quote
Ruko Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 I have been running 50 watt lights for years.. it wont hurt anything. They are not very bright though, if you wana ride at night they are not a good idea. I don't ride much at night and only use these lights cause they are cheap and around here you need lights to be legal... doesn't matter what kind of lights or how bright they are as long as you have something.

All my factory wiring and switch is intact here is a pic of them on my friends shee we put a 5lb batery under the radiator and ran a switch under the seat it has plent of power, works great and best of all if u kill the banshee from locking up the back breaks the lights dont go out on you good luck Quote
Dick Wheels Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Posted October 27, 2008 I probably wont ride it at night either. I just like the looks of the lights on it better then no lights and they were cheap...$15bux. Got them wired up today and they are dim at idle but once u rev it a little they come on nice and bright. Doubt they are any good in the dark though but may be enough if you get in a pinch though. Basically just there to look good. I am gonna put the 35watt bulbs in them though just to be safe. Quote
