DC Lighting question

[kessig4x4]

What happens when I have Trail Tech headlights and my bike has already been wired for DC power, but I want to put factory lights back on my bike?

I've never run the factory light because i got the bike with Trail Techs on it and don't know how they compare. But I like the large sized light look better. If i can't run the factory lights on DC is there a popular alternative light of equal size? Or is it simple enough to switch it back to AC. (I'm good and comftorable with wiring, just redid my whole harness, just unsure how to un-float the ground and what to do with the rectifier etc)

 

I'm sure thats more than enough to get what I'm trying to find out acrossed maybe with a little too much info, but any help appreciated...

Thanks

The OEM lights will work fine on DC current. Since you have DC, you might consider getting some HID kits for the OEM light housings. H6M is what you'd want. You'll get about 3 times the amount of light.

Awesome because I just went through my whole harness and got rid of all extra wires and replaced the boogered up ones before I decided this and put them in some nice sleeving. Glad I don't have to go back through for much modification.

Great tip on the HID bulbs too.

Thanks

In stock firm both lights will work the same as they're both 35w, but as you have a dc current you can use a hid kit as mentioned, or if you want to keep the trail techs you could use mr16 led bulbs, they can be had fairly cheap. You could give them a try before you get the hid kit and stock lights ( if you don't already have any)
