Just got a pair of driving light to put on the front of the atv kodiak their 55 watts each so its 110 watts of extra light plus the regular light on the kodiak is this going to be hard on the battery and the charging system and what is the best way to hook them up to the battery or should i hook up to the 12 adapter plug in looking for some input on this thanks

 

Go straight to the battery, and don't forget an inline fuse. I put two 55w halogen driving lights on my kodiak also and they made an unbeleivable difference! $29.95 canadian tire cheapo lights, well worth the money.

 

Great idea i was going to hook directly to the battery but one think i dont want is the lights to turn on if you turn on the light swich i will hook it up so the key has to be on , so i took the front hood of found the connecter where the 12volt adapter is i will hook on to the wires in side and it will go on after the key and swich is on ......do you have a plow for your kodiak i ame building my own...also do you have a rear bumper..

 

Hey Kerplunk:
How's everything in Fredericton. I'm just south of you in S.J. Even closer when at my hunting camp. This is my first post. But have been reading a lot of the others. Especially the one about the sqeeky front shocks. I have that prob also. I have about 1500km on my Y2K & the pads are ok so far....& love the Y2K...
L8tr......

 

Therock here. I have a Hella 55 Watt light handle bar mounted. I seen your post where you said you put 2 55 Watt lights on yours. I am looking for better OE replacments. Is that what you did or are your lights add on's?

 

kodiak, nice to see I'm not the only NB'r here

Trailmen, I'm planning on adapting a used honda plow i bought to my Kodiak. If I ever finnish I'll post some pics.

And yea I do have a rear bumper, it's made by Kimpex and is one of the nicest I've seen here's a pic.

What i did is i whent to canadian tire store and got 2 55 watt Baja desert lights look realy cool i mounted them in front on the rack just above the healights and wired it to the 12 plug adapter under the black hood , ran the wires in a protective black plastic tube and past it under the grill in front of the rad looks great, i put a toggle swich right side front of tank cover works great all wires run under the cover nothing showing and the light realy put out so now i can run all 4 at the same time ...by the way the canadian price was 49.00 your american price is problebly 15.00 sheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!hahahah
