PaymentPlan Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 What's up HQ, been a while since this topic has been covered. Any recommendations on running aftermarket headlights? I see cascade innovations sells a kit, picture attached. Looking to add a set of lights on my 521. Anyone run these ones here? Thanks a lot.

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk The cleanest way to run LED lights is to separate ignition power and lights power by floating the ground, then convert the lights power to dc with a cheap (8$), 125Watts,4 wires, ac/dc converter/rectifier/regulator. Then hook what ever you want on it. https://www.jlengineering.org/banshee-stator-dc-convers.html Envoyé de mon SM-G965W en utilisant Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you happen to know the output voltage of the rectifier/regulator that you posted? OEM is 12V, is the one you posted the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife is about to have baby #2 any second now, so it will be a little bit before I can do this. I will update this thread when I can. You run OEM headlights on your SS, correct? Thought I remembered seeing a pic of your bike with stock headlights. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qliphoth Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 i have those here. they look like the original ones, but they aren't :) i realised that, after i ordered a new pair of "original" bulbs for the banshee. but they were way to small. you can get in much bigger bulbs in these headlights. i prefer the original look^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearnot Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Recently I've seen a Baja racer's banshee with 2x Baja Design Squadron's LED's in place of the stockers with a OnX6 6 bulb amber clamped to the handle bars. You'll need some wattage to run that setup though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use this rectifier on your bike? Edited May 5, 2020 by PaymentPlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use this rectifier on your bike?Diming is another thing. You can solve the "problem" doing 2 things or three.1- putting a batt.2- putting a capacitor who will act like a batt.3- man up, and dont care about diming under 1000rpm....I chosed the 3th option ;'lEnvoyé de mon SM-G965W en utilisant Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that would solve the dimming Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 5$.Envoyé de mon SM-G965W en utilisant Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
