[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]What is the stock output of a 2002 Raptors stator & what is the max wattage I can use for aux. lighting? Also I've been looking at the Lazer Stars from Alba aprox $220 With mount & the Trail Techs from Rocky Mountain aprox $120 with mount. These look almost the same except for the $100 price diffrence. Are they the same or are the Lazer Stars $100 better? I don't mind paying more for a high quality light that is better but don't want to pay more if just the name is diffrent.

OK then how about just telling me which aftermarket lights you have tried & tell me how you like them?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

I have 2 50W Trail Tech lights mounted on my bars. They are MUCH better than stock and for $120 I am happy with the lights and the mount. My friends have Banshees with Lazer Stars and they seemed to be sturdy and produce good light (don't rememember the wattage though). I have seen a Raptor with Ricky Stator lights and they worked great. I think the hot ticket would be to have 4 30W Trail Techs!!

But the HID's are the best...

KingRaptors are BRIGHT!!

Those HIDs are some serious lights (they better be for $500) I never would of thought of looking on A Toyota Supra site for atv parts. Know of any other non atv sites that have atv accessories? BLUELEADER; Are you running the 50 watt lights with a stock stator? If you are have you been having any problems? I was told by my Yamaha dealer not to go any higher than two 35 watt lights on a stock stator.

have gone 2-4 hours at night a few nights in a row with no problems of any kind to date. I keep them off during the day with covers to protect them.

I had laserstar lights mounted on the bars, and kept shaking the ceramic out of the back of the bulbs. I love laserstars and have them on other things but the thumper really thumped them.
I now have two bar mounted HELLA 50W lights that I bought at a local auto parts store. No problems with durability or power, and I ride 3 to 4 hours at a time night riding at glamis. And when you flip it, it only costs about 60 bucks!!!
