Sounds about like the Blasters used too do (may still). We had one back many many moons ago in the early 90's. With the light on if you were just sitting idle the light would be very dim, but once you rev'd it up the light would get almost as bright as the sun.

I did not know that about halogen bulbs. If they dont like the dimming affect, your shure not going to be satisfied with them on the sport. I just tookem off, made the decision on the type of lights to run verrrry easy.

I think it has to do with the fact the run so HOT[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Not so bad in your house, where the lamp is exposed to fresh air, but when they are in a sealed (pools) or semi sealed unit (our quads) the heat doubles and kills the life of the lamp. What I NEED TO KNOW IS, does anyone know where we can get LED replacements for our rigs??? They produce almost ZERO heat, the amp draw is almost non-existant,the brightness is intense, life span is longer than some of us will live.

The way I see it is, we could have an LED cluster just a little smaller than size of our lens, that draws next to zero amps (do amps apply to DC systems?) at about 25watts including brake light, that would make our buddies battery powered lights look dim!!! So who has the know how and soldering skills????????

Does a electronics degree and a knack for building my own dc power supplies qualify? My soldering iron sits right next ot my monitor.

Is that for a standard or ultra bright led?

The reason I ask is that it wont take as many of the ulta brights to get the job done. I would be nice to set em up to mnt in the stock locations. ( headlight, taillight assemblies).
Not trying to be to techy but, do you know the voltage?
Or better yet, a spec sheet would be great. I can calculate the output and figure the # that will be needed for each socket.

I don't know. sorry. Been searching on the net for them for about a month. available for just about everything out there with a battery, hell replaced mine on my 04 Silverado, the old ladys Subaru, my 05 400ex, oops!! Yes I do have another quad, but I swear she is just a fling! no where NEAR the fun as my QS! True statment! But she is fun to ride when my "Girl" is down, like now.........

I'll do some more research...
