I picked up a set of scrambler lights real cheap from a friend. I finally got around to mouting them on my Trail Blazer. I also left the stock Blazer headlight, so I have three front lights. The low beams of the scram lights come on with the stock light using the stock light switch. But since the stock light switch is a single beam (no high beam) switch, I had to wire in a toggle switch to make the high beams of the scram lights work. You can see the toggle in the pics if you look hard enough.
Overall I am happy, I can turn night into day now, and it looks pretty good. If anyone one is looking for extra lighting, these lights can be mounted to any Polaris that does not have a pod light with only minor wiring. So if you find a set for sale cheap, pick em up.
If anyone has any questions, let me know. HERE are some pictures.

Great job! I did the same thing to my Sport 400....they make a huge difference at night! They look good, work great, and I have had no problems with the battery running low due to the amperage draw from the extra lights.

Good job Lurch, looks great. I went the other way on my Scrambler. I added the lower Sport/Trail Blazer head light. I like the look of the 3 light set up. Before & After

Yes, I like the three light look too. The small headlight and nose piece looks better then the non-lighted nose piece in my opinion. It adds more lines to make it look better. And for me anyways,. the extra lights work great at night.

I have 2 inches of clearance from the tire to the floorboard. My BearClaws are the stock size though. (22x12.00-10) Although I never actually seen it, I've read where guys have drilled the rivets out of the floorboards and moved them forward. This will give you more clearance for the bigger tires. But if you're running 25's in back already and not rubbing you shouldn't have to do this.

You say you're running 25's in the back and 23's up front. Have you had any problems? I've always been told you can change the tire sizes as long as you keep the ratio the same. (Rear tire 1" smaller than the front.) Otherwise, when in 4wd your front will be fighting your rear for traction putting much stress on your drive train. My understanding of this is that it can cause MAJOR damage. You have me curious. Got any pics of your scrambler that I can see?
