Tonight I was using the TRX to shine some lights on yard work that I needed to finish after dark. Question, has anyone changed the light bulbs in the headlights to brighter LED bulbs? I know people do that in cars sometimes.

Anyone ever have issues doing something like this? I've heard of people saying they did things like this with their car and it caused the wiring to short, melt, or something I think.

I personally haven't done it. I've never needed brighter lights.
But yes I have heard of people burning them out... I would go a safer route. Add a light bar with a fuse and switch. You are going to blind people on the trails with the LED bulbs.. lol

I tryed that type, i didn't like them at all. N wouldn't have another set!

I don't trail ride much, just hunting mostly. But I like safer.

Thanks. Sounds like I should pass. I'll look at some light bars or something....

I would go for the light bar , you can get a Cree for $30 off e-bay , I have 4 of them and never had a problem yet , the 125 watt is a nice size

Dan, you can always choose halogen over those 25 watt > none halogen < oem bulbs, i couldnt find any higher wattage then 50 in this style bulb, so that's the bulb i updated to.

I added a rigid dually to my handle bars. It's way brighter than those cheap Chinese ones. My neighbor has 4 of these small ones on his jeep and my 1 rigid is about as bright as all 4. And it turns with the handlebars.

I was thinking of trying to mount something low under the front rack, but I like the idea of the light moving when I turn the handlebars.

I'd pass on the stem perm mounted led pod, and go with something like this , this setup (like i have) it will clamp anywhere on the front rack or rear handle bar, plus a few other places.
