I have a 2001 Rancher and would like to mount a 3rd headlight in front of the digital display. I often ride in the dark going to and coming back from my treestands when hunting. I need a little extra light. Can someone tell me where to buy one and hard id it to wire? Thanks.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Unless you're dying for a 'steerable' light go to wally world and get the 16$ clear fog light kit. If you have any kind of welding experience the racks are very easy to weld a bracket for lights on them, (* I did however need to work the grounding a bit for the front rack, the powder coating is thick and top notch- creating a solid electric insulation!)( *if you don't have welding access, you may have to go an expensive route and adapt a motorcycle headlight. )
The kit comes with a big bulky switch- however most of which is really a holder- the bulky part can be removed and pitched. The lights are 55 watts each, and use h3 bulbs. That amount of drain will sap your battery at idle, so don't leave them on when idling or turned off!

your 12v accessory socket. I think it works great. Check it out.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. I ended up ordering one from Highlifter. The next thing I am going to do is rig up a reverse light. I am going to follow the diagram and instructions from the thread below. Thanks again!
