I just put reverse lights on my Prarie 300 4x4 it works great, anybody interested, I will e-mail instructions
it only cost me about $30 to install

 

I'm interested in the instructions.

 

me too - rockerc@mediaone.net

 

here is the instructions:

get a small, sealed set of driving lights from the local auto parts store

a 12 v 30 amp relay, a 120 volt diode, a spool of 14 ga wire, a 12 volt or greater doide, and assorted connectors from an electronics store (radio shack

on the left side of the ATV underneath the plastic (on my prarie) there are two swithes, one labeled R and one labeled N

attach and run a wire from the R switch (this wire will be the ground when the ATV is in reverse) to one of the terminals on the relay for the solenoid install the diode in this line with the band on the diode towards the switch

using a wire tap, tap into the brake light wire that is hot when the lights are turned on (this will be the hot wire when the key is insterted and the headlights are on) run this wire to the other terminal on the relay coil

run a ground wire directly from the battery to the lights and wire one wire from both lights to this

run a wire downstream of the accesory fuse off the battery (or install a inline fuse holder from radio shack with a 15 Amp fuse) and run this wire to one of the remaining terminals on the relay

from the remaining terminal on the relay, run a wire to the remaining wire on each light

make sure all connections are taped and fully insulated, or else you will smoke something

I mounted my lights on a flat crossmember underneath the storage box, and the relay on a square frame member just beside the storage box

all my atv buddies don't believe me that It wasn't a stock light

any questions, or for some photos of the install, e-mail me daumille@nycap.rr.com

I got the idea from a post and made it better with the addition of a automotive relay and direct connection to the battery
