Looking at getting a small LED light bar to mount on the front of my atv.

What I'd like to do is tie in to the high beam switch, either leaving the high bulb plugged in, or by unplugging the high beam.

I'd like to mount it at the bottom of the grill, tucked in. Would this cause a problem cooling?

Would the charging system be able to handle the high and LED, or be safe and unplug the high and use the plug for the LEED?

 

LED's don't pull much power so I think you'd be okay power-wise. You'd have to wire in the harness after the switch as it needs the relay between power and the light bar. I'm not 100% sure that will work though as most of the relays I've seen have you wire from the battery to the switch. Not sure how much power goes to the stock high beam.

 

I figure either unplug the high since it's useless anyway and use the plug, or just tap in before the high beam plug.

 

Would not mounting it higher on the grill rather then lower keep it out of the muddy water and crud better?

 

Actually, higher up on the grill would be better for airflow too, eh?

But I never go in mud that deep, and water that deep is rare too!

 

Just ordered these...

Should do the trick. I got a single 10" combo light with spot and flood lights. It's amazing how well it lights things up.
