fastbanshee Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hi all new to the forum and found lots of great info. I'm looking to install Trailtechs 4" Hid lights do I need a 200 watt stator to do this right or can I use the stock one. I have read a bunch of bad things about the ricky stator on this board. What r you guys using to power your hids. Any info would be great. Any one have pics of the kragen 7" HID lights installed on there shee?

jbooker82 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 On a banshee to run HID lights you have to totaly rewire the lighting circuit. You have to do a DC Conversion, float the ground on the stator, wire in a voltage regulator/rectifier, and add a battery or capacitor. Stock banshee's lights are AC current. HID's require DC. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read allot of bad things about the 200watt ricky stator. Is any one running a hid set up with the ricky stator stator with no problems?

It will work fine if you buy the right battery for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Sweet thats what I wanted to hear. Couple more questions if you don't mind. What battery would be best for the stock stator? (I don't need a stator so price don't matter. I plan on running the Trail Tech SC4 HID 40 watt lights. Is this ok with stock stator or should I run the SC4 HID 30 watt ones?
