My 250R HID light mod

[Shandad]

The edition of the HID's took some work but wasn't that difficult. Hard part was finding something to work for a battery box which I kind of lucked into one day at the RV store. Consists of a lighting coil mod, trail tech reg/rectifier, 12v 5.0Ah battery, battery box of some sort, HID lights and ballasts. Light's anyone?

Swapped out the red on/off switch for a blue one and added some blue LED's on an accessory switch, also added a power point

Looks awesome.. Great job. You can never have "enough" light for night rides..

[HondaHarry]

This is on my list of future mods. has been for a while. lol Any shots from the front with the lights on or is it too bright? HH

[Billy Golightly]

Now that is BITCHEN! Nice Job man!

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

Makes the chrome shine nice. looks sweet as does the rest of the bike.

[redskinman]

:beer:beer:beer nice job

Welcome to the "I can finally see at night!!" club :lol:

Those LED's are an interesting idea, and they look bad arse!! What kind of stator output are you running?

[Shandad]

Thanks guys! I'm using a 90W stater.

[BiGDawG]

besides a battery and a box what else would i need to do this on my 200x? my headlight is trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro looks bright from the front but while riding it docent light up as much as i would like

[Xpress]

You need to get a higher output stator for your 200x, then convert it to floating ground, run a trailtech voltage regulator/rectifier, then run a 12v battery, then run an on/off switch somewhere in the circuit, probably one between the voltage reg/rec and the battery, then one between the battery and your light. Or you might be able to get away with running a 35w HID on the stock 55w stator.

[BiGDawG]

hmm i have 35w 8k hids in my truck might have to wire 1 up and see how it works

[Shandad]

It's a fun project for sure and one that opens up new options for creativity as well as lights up the terrain at night.

[BiGDawG]

hmm is there a wright up some where on how to do this? be something i'm interested in do a lot of night time riding, i'm a night person lol

[Xpress]

Pretty straight forward on how to do it once you figure out what needs to be done. It's really not hard, you just need some basic soldering skills and whatnot.

[Shandad]

Rolled it out to see how it lit up my street. You tell me...

I was making hand puppets on the neighbors house. lol

[jordan_muirhead]

dang man, that looks awesome!!!! wish i could put HIDs on my 185s....

[Xpress]

Is that one or two lights??

[hillbilly 200x]

Thats is sweet.. I could see a bear taking a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro from 100feet away with that.

[Shandad]

It's a 350X headlight assembly. I use 2 35w HID's. I will post a picture of my 400EX's light pattern that has basically the same lights as the stock 350X so I/we can see the difference.

Farther away than that :lol:
