I would like to remove my stock headlight and replace it with a small rectanglular blue fog light type light, the blaster stock light is 12v 45/45w, this system is 12v 55w, does anybody know if this would work? Here is what I am talking about

Id really like to get one and hook it up without modifying my stator or adding a battery, will this work??

Howdy,

Idon't know if they will work but, Have you thought about replacing your stock bulbs with the blue ion bulbs? They are the bulbs that some of the new cars have. They now make them for motorcycle applications.

Just a thought, Danno


PS: I'm going to a 85/100w Blue Ion

Acutally I bought a colored halogen gold/purple healight from denniskirk for my wheeler, like the kind you see in cars, but it does not fit, I think its for polaris wheelers?? The headlight in a blaster looks like a flashlight bulb not like a car bulb... My buddie is going to look around at pep-boys hopefully they will have the same headlight but highpowered halogen?? I just thought that one of those little fog lights would look pretty sweet in place of my headlight...

hey broke, you can get these lights in walmart for $35+/-.don't bid that high on them.they won't give you much foward visibility as they are fog lights. maybe use them in conjuction with your stockers. good luck...

Howdy,

My quad uses a h-4 bulb. And I found that Automotive Accessories Connection carry some of the blue ion bulbs. Thier website is www. thepartssource.com
You might try them or even your local dealer for info.They cost about $14 and up plus shipping.

Later,Danno
