['04limited]

my wife needs some better lights for her banshee, they need to be brighter and put out a wider beam so she can see off to the sides better at night what would be the best lights for this? i don't want to change out the stator either is there any lights that would be good for my situation? thanks guys.

you might try a slightly higher wattage bulb, but they wont be as bright till its revved up but wider take them and spin both out a little so it looks like its got two lazy eyes

are the trail tech mr16 torch lights much brighter than stock? also how about the lazer stars?

[Snopczynski]

Yeah they are brighter than stock.

the guy that had mine before me put brighter bulbs in (not sure what bulbs they were) and the extra heat melted the headlight cover a bit in the middle. just something to watch out for

I run some PIAA H6M bulbs in my banshee. They are the same wattage but are brighter. They have the birght white look.

Got the trail techs running on a stock stator and they are a huge improvement over stockers plus a way better look IMO. Uses stock mounts and easy to install. Good luck!

I got rid of my trail techs because I was tired of dirt, sand, and water getting in behind the front cover glass.

well you know they have bulbs at walmart with the glass on the front of the bulb they are like 5buck each.

The new trail techs have a rubber grommet around the bulb.

so are these a direct replacement bulb for the stockers?

I was running sylvania Tru AIM IR bulbs in my trail techs. They were about the brightest bulb watt for watt I tried.

 

I was running a 4 of them with a ricky stator high output stator. Kept haveing problems with the ricky stator. I am back to running an OEM stator with 06' oem lights with Piaa H6M bulbs. They are just as bright as a pair of trail tech 35 watt.

I run 2 HELLA 500 lights on mine. Just buy the lights on ebay then get the brightest 35w bulbs you can get your hands on. I use the PIAA 4150K H3 Xtreme White Bulbs in mine. Also you have to wire them to the high beam wires on the bike. Also if you use the existing wiring connectors it makes it very easy to disconnect them if you should need to remove them.

[nameehsnab]

The Hell 1000 lights look OK. But you have to remove one of the lights to remove your plastics.

yea they are a dirct replacement for the stock bulbs. I am not for sure what years they work for. I dont know if the earlier yamaha's used different bulbs.

 

I run them in my raptor and banshee. They are about 30 bucks per bulb, but they are worth it.
