baltor
Newly Enlightened
I'm an avid ATV'er, and the stock lights on the grizzly aren't up to par for barreling through the woods at night. I'd like to add a couple auxilliary lights, and though 2x100w halogens would work, they'd tend to strain the charging system a bit. Enter 35w HID's - problem is, the "offroad" self contained ballast lights I've seen online are minimum $300 each, to upwards of $500 each.
I have a pair of cheap 100w floodlights on my truck from the local tractor supply store, and I think they'd be a great candidate for a conversion. They're 20 bucks a piece, water-tight, and use an ordinary H3 style bulb.
I guess my question boils down to this - what should I get? There are so many kits on ebay - all of the sellers with 'h3' kits available. Is there a brand I should be looking for, or things to avoid? I realize I'll have to house the ballasts in a seperate water-tight container, but are there other things to consider? Vibrations etc?
I realize some of this may have been covered in previous posts - just not specifically (that i could find).
thanks,
Jon
