jmkapala Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 can som3eone tell me if the stock stator will push a set of hella 500's if i pull off the stock lights? i think i read on the box that the 500's use a 55w bulb......anyone had any experience doing this? Quote
Ruko Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 They should still work fine except they wont be as bright as they could be with more watts behind them. I put a set of 55w lights on mine with the stock stator and had no problems. Quote

Stock stator is 100watts max output at like 6,000rpm. Your gonna be running 110 watts with the 500's. So, I say no, wont work. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 your lights will look like there is piss in them and be very very dim... your cdi will take the amount of juice it needs to power the ignition and then what left over will go to your lights... Quote

The ignition side of the stator is in no way connected to the lighting side. You will never get the hella's to be bright though, you will be constantly loading the stator and even run the risk of melting stator wiring down on the case. Quote

dajogejr Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Kinda what I was thinking and told him, boys...thanks for the backup. I'm terrible when it comes to electrics and wiring though. Do you think that a pair of 35W bulbs would be better...or should he get a 200W Ricky Stator? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 even with 35watt bulbs your running your max output... the stator doesnt have a strong consistant output... so your power fluxuates. id say get a bigger stator that can power all your electronics and have extra power so when you fluxuate your not underpowering your shits Quote
chillls Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 i have a ricky stator & love it im running a set of 6" kc in stock location with a set of 55 watt piaa extreme whit h-3 bulbs holy shit balls its bright!!!!!!!!!! its like the sun on the duns at night. almost as bright as a set of hid lights :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :thumbsup: :yelrotflmao: Quote
jmkapala Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Posted January 30, 2007 thanks for the info guys.......and it seems i had forgotten that yes its a 55w bulb, but there's 2 of them...... Sorry for the momentary disposition of the brain.... :: :: :: :: :: I'll try not to let it happen again....but cant promise anything... Quote
chillls Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) it happens some times... hell i do it all the time. i was looking at some nots when i bought my 200 watt from ricky stator he told me thay my 97 shee had a 85 watt stator in it stock. i dont know if that helps but i just thought i would put that out there. :thumbsup: (some time my fingers go faster than my eyes check for spelling) Edited January 30, 2007 by chillls Quote
