waco4whlr,

What was the problem you had with the installation?

Hey Boner:
Part of the problem with the installation was the fact that sometimes I'm a true IDIOT! It was all my fault. I just didn't think what I was doing and made it alot harder than it had to be. If I did it again, it would be really easy, as it should be. I did have to put a bigger fuse in, and it has worked great. I have read where some people said that you shouldn't have to, but I did and it has worked flawlessly. I'm real happy with the light. It doesn't produce enormous amounts of light, but definitely more than the headlights. The thing I like the most is that it is out of the way, I lost no rack space at all, and I didn't have to make any kinds of real modifications to my quad.

Has anybody put brighter bulbs in the stock headlights? Like a 55w instead of the 35 standard?

I finally got around to rigging up some extra light on my 500 a week or so ago. I went the same route as Grizzlyrules, but I just used one. Pretty impressive for an $18 investment at wal-mart. I fabricated a mount out of some crap I had laying around and mounted it from that bar on top of the racks just under the speedometer. Its on there solid too. Ain't goin nowhere. I used the switch and relay from a previous light setup (one that sucked), and the 100 watt spotlight runs fine off the regular battery. Throws a hell of a beam out there too. I'll try and add some pictures whenever I get off work this week. I need to get some new ones now that I have the lift on there anyway.
