hey guys new here and i was wondering if anyone has added reverse lights to your utility 4 wheeler and if you had any pics and maybe some info on how you wired it?

thanks alot guys

 

I just used a 12 volt fog light. Wired it to the battery and ran the hot wire up front witha toggle switch

 

It does seem to be a popular modification, though I haven't done it on mine. Warn makes some lights specifically for reverse lights on atv's.

I'd probably tap the accessory wire for power. It is fused, key-on. Cole Hersee makes a single throw single pole water proof toggle switch (sealed with internal O ring), and they make rubber boots for them in a variety of colors.

 

i thought about running a switch but i kinda wanted to tie into my shifter to where i put my wheeler in reverse the light always comes on if that is possible

 

I would think you could tie into the gear position switch, but I'd use a relay as that circuit isn't designed to carry much of a load.

Folks have been known to splice a switch into the gear position switch wires in order to bypass the reverse speed limiter.

 

do you by chance know what color the wire is and how hard it is to get to? thanks

 

You might go over to rinconriders.com. I think there's a wiki on the reverse over ride thing, which would give you info on the location of those wires.

 

o ok ill check it out thanks man

 

i installed my reverse lights over 3yrs ago great addition. The Suzuki's are easy as they are pre wired simply plug in your lights and they come on when the shifter is in reverse. I used the same bolts that bolt the rear storage box on. I don't know if the honda's are prewired i know the yamaha's are not.
