I used a pair of Rigid D series driving beam on mine and they’re stupid bright!

Very welcome glad I could help

My five cents; - use the frame for the negative, use a relay taking feed from behind the ignition lock to the switch, no risk that you may leave the lights on with engine off and last, use a fuse for the feed.

[@johnfinkler3732]

Thanks for posting this video. I was hoping to do something similar but instead of drawing power directly from the battery is there a way to tap power only when the key is turned on and power. I’m too stupid to remember to turn lights off and would prefer not to leave them on all week to drain the battery. Thanks again

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

There probably is a way but would take more involvement of other components. This was just the easiest/quickest way for me

[@JeffSkymaster]

Just use a lighted Switch.

[@dogoargentino1420]

I think you will need a fuse on the hot wire. Good

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

dogo argentino Thats a good idea

[@kyle1262dk]

Can you find a link for that exact toggle switch?

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Think i bought it at walmart

[@macksation6556]

Did you just drill the screw on the top of the bar or did you drill a hole through the bottom and tighten it with a nut?

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Macksation self tapping screws

[@MushroomlogicAudio]

What about battery regen

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Had no issues

[@anthonyjohnson100]

I’m going to try a 20” bar and a bigger battery

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

That should work great

[@johnwayne3514]

Might wanna add a fuse and a relay, dont know how many amos the lights pull.

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Jonathan Duke , I thought about but they are very low watts

[@calebbranham9990]

What gage wire did you use?

[@mrBDeye]

Use a relay when connecting headlights. (Added my 2 cents)

[@laugh1958]

Couldn't you just ground the lights to the frame instead of running the neg to the battery? I am just asking because I am a real novice to electrical on machines.

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Not sure, I just went ahead and done it this way, no pro myself

[@joeg3046]

@@LifeWithKernelLee @Ray Gaither Yep just grind a spot to clean metal and ground with a self tap

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

Instead of using zip ties I superglue the wires to the frame.

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

daniel taylor that a good question, i bet it would work

[@arnoldchittum6781]

Looks like crap, run your wires inside the tube frame
