Drizzy Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I bought a banshee and it had the trail tech billet chrome lights. One of the bulbs is burned out can't seem to find it. The inside of bulb says"Trail tech TORCH 35sp. New on here any info would help. Did find something on cascadeinovations but didn't know if I needed flood or spot.

Drizzy Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Thanks for the info.! So on that mr16 bulb I just wire some wire to the ends I assume? Any hardware stores sell these? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk There is a socket in the housing that the pins on the bulb plug into. The bulbs are common in house lighting, you can buy them at Lowes, Homedepot, or Walmart usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keno Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Most bi-pin MR16 bulbs are 6, 12, or 24 volts. They are almost always 12v though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keno Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Yeah, I've actually never seen a 120 volt one. I stand corrected. But to be fair, that is the wrong base size and wont plug in So look for a 12V MR16 Gx5.3 base halogen bulb. Also, damn, you quoted me before I edited my previous post. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdgriff Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Honestly I would ditch the trail tech lights and get some Cree led lights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdgriff Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 these work awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Issue with that is some of those bulbs are 120vac. Not really good in a banshee.Found some 7w 50w equivalent LED bulbs. Had to just make a connector with wire that plugged into the ends of the bulb. Couldn't find bulb with actual wire from the socket of bulb. Got them working and they are pretty bright! Never got to try and see how bright the original 35w bulbs were though.

Drizzy Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 these work awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I thought about getting some of these. They look pretty sweet and I'm sure they are bright. Would a stock stator work and what did u do for brackets and mounting them??

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I didn't have headlight brackets on my banshee and they come with a bracket that I just mounted where the oem bracket was supposed to be. My stock stator ran them fine but I ended up getting an rc car battery pack so they would not dim on me. The battery runs them forever.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Those LED Bulbs I ended up putting in would dim and almost flicker a bit kind of annoying. Ima order some of those LED lights though I bet they are way brighter. So do u just charge the battery every now and then? There any info somewhere on how to install one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There any info somewhere on how to install one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk yeah I just got 2 battery's and a charger and rotate them out every so often. I just mounted the battery in the nose of the bike, ran a toggle switch up to the handle bars and perfect lighting. These will still flicker on stock stator but they are way way way better than the trail tech torch lights. I had a set of them and after I got the led lights I literally tossed the trail tech in the trash Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Those look clean and super cheap! I'm ordering them today. Sorry to hijack this post but you know of a way to wire them up to work off the stator without flickering and not have to mess with the stock stator? Also if you can wire them up with the battery to the stock switch? My nephew has tons of those rc batterys laying around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why you couldn't use the oem light switch tho Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 If you know what you are doing, yes. There are ways to do this. Lol well I obviously don't know what I'm doing. What about a capacitor? Sent from my BIG BLACK COCK using Tapatalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
