Default Installed my HIDs!!!

Got my trailtech HIDs on today. Mand, these little suckers sure light up the night. My stock lights arer a yellowish color and the HIDs are SUPER white. The anti-vibration mount works good but I cant get it as tight as I would like to. I ordered the switch with the wiring harness and intall was a snap. I just tapped into the brown wire coming from the key switch and used the ground by my coil, must have taken me 30 mins to install them. Trailtech sent me 2 clear covers and some stickers, if anyone wants them, please let me know since Im not really into stickers and neither are my riding buddies. I am now able to use my high beams along with the HIDs so I sure will light up the night. Look for an 03 LE Raptor with handlebar mounted HIDs this Thanksgiving @ Glamis![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Reved quicker, more responsive, easier wheelies and got rid of the little bit rich I was running, Im planning on getting sixsixT's intake kit and will bump the jets until then. I think its a good mod, only thing is that you have to cut your original wire to connect it to the Nology. For $40-50 its worth it, you might get another 1-2hp. 14mins has them, thats where I got it from. If you want pics let me know, I can take a couple of the setup for you.

I got the handlebar mounted HIDs with one spot and one flood. I rode around and they light up great! Install was a piece of cake. I have to go ride some more to see if they will hold up to some jumping, I would recommend, but I will let you know for good next week.

I revved the quad and the lights kept a constant beam of light, these draw less power than the torch lights, so you can run your high beams along with the HIDs.

660rappy...do you want pics of the lights or of the Nology?
