TIA
Your going to get a bunch of different answers to this. I would suggest looking up what you think you might like then head on over to youtube and watch videos, to make sure you like how it projects, because they are all fairly different. But here is the link to the ridged driving light. Their videos on durability is what sold it to me.Reveille said:Help! So I have a birthday coming up soon and I want to get part numbers to the wifey. I am looking at the 6" Rigid LED bar. Which one is the hot setup and where is the place to get it from(read easy because the wife is blond) No it's not a dye job either
P.S. I was thinking the Specter 90661 from Amazon for $235 as a reference.
I agree! That is one bright light. He turned it on when I was looking at the mounts from about 12" from the front of the bike. I could not see a thing for a good 30 seconds and after that were spots all over the place for another 60. Do not inspect his light if he is close to the controls.snakebitten said:
You won't be disappointed. Its amazing how much light that little 6" light throws off, and you can easily add more (reference Jaxon's mirror mounted lights) if you feel you need more lighting.Reveille said:
The light came in Friday so I installed it yesterday. It took me quite a while to install everything because I needed a relay, which I found at a local auto parts store along with some spade terminal pins to snap into the OEM light accessory plug cap end. I found some Ford terminal pins that slipped into the OEM cap on the accessory plug that fit and snapped in nicely. Sure beats paying for one from Eastern Beaver. I was about to order one and then as I have the cap in my hand I got to thinking why order one when most of what I need is in my hand. You need to pop out the 3 rubber plugs and simply snap the spade terminals in and you're all set. Instant plug end. Thank you Yamaha ::022:: The stock light bar bracket needed a bit more effort. A bit of grinding with a die grinder and some touch up paint and good to go. Used some nice acorn nuts for a more finished look. Tapped the pink wire just behind the connector on the upper right fairing side and she works like a charm. I ended up using the ignition wire, tan I believe on the OEM accessory plug and left the hot wire for future use if needed. Overall I am very happy with the final product. It has been cold and rainy for the past 2 days so I haven't had a test ride yet but hopefully tonight I can sneak out for a shakedown run. It's freakin bright in the garage though... ::024:: One thing I should point out. I used the supplied long brackets and turned them outwards allowing me to use the existing bolt mounts. I found a couple of bolts slightly longer and used them to make up for the thickness of the bracket material. After looking at other threads it looks like some turned the brackets inward and used the empty bolt holes. I tried that first but would have needed to really chop the brackets or plastic to fit so I found the way I did it to be less chopping and provided a nice clean install without actually adding additional hardware. Anyways, just passing it along for the next guy tackling this install.coastie said:
The difference is drastic. Try riding for like an hour then have to turn them off,you can't see a damn thing! Also just keep them on all day. It greatly increases your visibility during the day.Reveille said:
I have that exact setup. I will snap a few pics when I leave the office for lunch. Don't mind the bugs...ridefire said:

Yes I bought mine from a Auto Zone store. It was labeled Ford terminal kit or close to that with a part number of 85377. I had to use a jewelers file and lightly massage the portion that slipped into the connector (cap side) but it fit nicely. They give you 2 of every style shown in the link. I only needed 2 so one pack was good for me.ec90t said:
For the cost of the piaa bulbs, you can go to ddm HID bulb/ballast. Amazing light. highly recommended. pretty sure it was about $60 to my door for the kitReveille said:
