Upgrading headlights on a 11o, max wattage?
Hey Guys,
One quad I got 2nd hand had every switch broke, the wires were a bowl of spaghetti, and the lights were missing all together. I have everything well on its way to cleaned up but I haven't selected a set of headlights yet. Anyone know how many watts can be safety pulled from a running ATV without drawing down the battery? I'm seeing lots of attractive LED options on Ebay...... :clap: I'm still trying to figure out a system that'll give driving lights, plus low / high beam to match the switchs and harness. When i'm done, I'll post the wiring diagram. This one's a 4 pin ignition setup, and complete wire diagrams seems to be an endangered species, or at least everywhere I've looked! I'm about 95% through tracing it out and making sense of it all. Thx, Kelly |

post a pic of your switch.. it should have low & high beams switches on it... and LEDS are good...

Here's an image of my switch...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xmddfnji43...03.08.jpg?dl=0 I pulled it apart and traced all the wires. Got a new one on eBay and wired it in. Found countless options out there, but all with different button functions. Some show a turn signal on the switch I have for a kill, and a horn on what I have for a starter... Just need to know what the maximum wattage I can pull is going to be. Does anyone know what Wattage you can pull from the motor's charging system? Kelly |
An uneducated guess is about 36 watts total, but not for long. It's very easy to get ahead of these little batteries.
I recommend that you focus on LED's. |
Which led would be ok to use as even those nice bright LEDs are around 25 watts
|
I think that 25 watts is about the limit. Try to find a fully enclosed LED light that fits your budget, eBay is your friend.
Consider fabricating a mounting plate that attaches to the handlebar clamps; that allows the light to turn with the front wheels and light up the path. Only turn the light on when needed, to prevent battery discharge. |
Are there any other LEDs under 25watts that are decent?
Or has anyone used the stator output but with the part to make it DC current so LEDs will work? |
