Has any one upgraded the lights on there Trailblazer? I have a 2000 Scrambler 500 with twin Hella 500 55W Driving lights. These are awesome! The 500 has the 260 watt stator designed for the Sportsman so it will run the lights easy.
But my wifes 2000 Blazer is only rated at 150 watts. I am thinking of upgrading her to a set of stock scrambler lights which are 30 each, and disconecting her stock light, which is 55. This should run ok and the stock Scrambler 500 lights are far superior. Tell me what you think.

Why not just change that 55 watt to a 100 watt, makes a big difference and easy...

Have you done this?
will the trailblazer stator run the 100?
Thanks
Drew

 

Yes, I've done this to both my Polaris's (Sport and 00 Blazer). Just don't sit idle with lights on, not a good idea with stock lights either.

Can you give us a part number for the bulb?

 

ScramblerDrew,

I've run the 100 watt H-3 Halogen bulbs on my Trailblazer for two years now and had no problems. If you really want to see the wild lighting set-up I have on my Sport, visit my site. Just click the hyperlink below my name.

 

I took Mikes advice and did this to the TB a year ago. The 100W bulb is better. I've heard that it could melt the lens, but that has yet to happen....

 

Oh yeah, you'll need to change the terminal fittings to match the TB's. (At least on the bulb I bought I did) No big deal, just cut, twist on new terminal, crimp & connect !

 

Andrew,

About the only thing that could happen (and it hasn't on mine yet, or even that I heard of) is that it could melt the reflector. The lens is glass. It would take a lot more heat than a 100 watt bulb to melt the lens.

 

WEll I guess I meant the reflector. I was just testing you Mike
