manny 2004 banshee Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 hi guys. I want to upgrade my headlights, but was planning on going with a 10 inch led bar. From what ive seen on these forums you probably want to convert from ac to dc power. I was looking for the most cost effective way, so im planning on sticking with the stock stator and not installing a battery. Ive been wanting to do the conversion for a while now, but every time i read any of the topics on here about i feel sort of perplexed, (im not that electrical savvy yet). So i was wondering if someone could give me a pretty detailed and description of what i have to do, and maybe some pictures would help. Any help would be appreciated though. Thanks Quote
manny 2004 banshee Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Posted October 19, 2012 search, there was just a topic about this with pictures. i mean fuck it was even titled "dc conversion" http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=159393&st=0&p=1393324&hl=+dirt%20+wheels&fromsearch=1entry1393324 I had used the search function and that one didn't pop up. My bad. Thanks though Quote
manny 2004 banshee Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Posted October 19, 2012 So would I need a regulator/rectifier, or would I only need that if I plan on adding a battery? Quote
thomas h. Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 The reg rectifier a must. When you float the ground, that where the floated wire goes to. People give crap over the search tool but its not perfect so just use google and google images. Any who, you might not need a battery or capacitor for led but a small battery will help for those times when your at idle maybe. It there was a battery then if you just need some lite your good and there it a lot of small battery options on flea bay. 1 Quote
manny 2004 banshee Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Posted October 19, 2012 Okay. Well is there any local places that might have a regulator/rectifier? I was kinda planning on getting this done today Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Okay. Well is there any local places that might have a regulator/rectifier? I was kinda planning on getting this done today None that I know of... Also, with LED's, unless you want them to flicker like mad at lower RPM's, you'll need a battery, also. Quote
manny 2004 banshee Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Posted October 19, 2012 Yeah, i decided I was going to go with a battery since I had an extra one from a street bike laying around. Any suggestions on a good rectifier online? Quote

Any suggestions on a good rectifier online? Trail tech is the one I've used the most. There are some off of sleds that work too, but I'd go with trailtech's. Quote
ClayAiken Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 I had used the search function and that one didn't pop up. My bad. Thanks though The search on this site sucks monkey nut. Go to google type in the question and put bansheehq after it. 2 Quote
Glenyboy Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 The trailtech unit is good as mentioned, it also comes with wiring instructions to help you out Quote
thomas h. Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 Whats dc conversion?? Stock banshee light system is A/C. If you want to upgrade then you need to switch to D/C to run different bulbs or HID or LED Quote
manny 2004 banshee Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Posted October 21, 2012 http://bit.ly/Vpfi1E So would this work? Quote

Z400Banshee Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Can I still use the stock lights if I do a DC conversion? Quote
