LED, HID or standard lights?

Subject: LED, HID or standard lights? Mon Mar 18, 2013 8:47 am

Right now my Rhino is just stock for lighting and we all know that means it sucks. Im REALLY not going to spend the kind of money that some people (and some of you) spend on lights. I was looking at maybe a 6" dual row LED but I have never really seen any pictures of how well they do. I also thought about some HID replacement kits for the headlights. Then another thought of just some decent quality off road standard lights. Any thoughts from you guys? Pictures would be GREAT also.

Go with HID conversions for your headlights, best $40 I spent on my Rhino, Ebay has what you need.

You got a link for that? I can't find them that cheap. If I can find them that cheap I will get more lights too.

I'm sorry man but I don't have a link, it was about a year ago when I bought them. I hope you can find some in that price range though, I know there were many different auctions selling them in the range of $50, I am sure someone on here can point you in the right direction, help guys?

go check out the cheap prices from ddm tuning. all hid kits come with a life time warranty.

i got a set ordered. They are just a single beam (no high just low) which is fine with me. Once i get them installed i will probably add a 6-10" LED bar. With those 2 i should be good to go. Thanks for all the help guys. I will try to do a write up when i am installing them. It would be nice if we could get an entire section of "installation instructions" with pictures for just about every common mod we do to the Rhinos

Thats what I have but I dont see the need for the HID , the LED bar will over power the HIDS.
I'll get a few pic's when my order comes in. I hope its here in about a wk.

The most economical way is the headlight HID conversion. Best bang for your buck.
Normal price is anywhere from 60 to 130. Depends on if you can hit a sale.

What'd you guys end up doing???

Any pics?

my headlight conversion came fro ddmtuning also not a problem Very Happy

I did a HID conversion and its pretty good. But i plan on getting some more lights from Flimmy here pretty soon. I dont do much night riding but when i do they will come in VERY handy. for the price it seems like it should be a pretty good upgrade.

Hid first,then led...much brighter!!

Subject: Re: LED, HID or standard lights? Fri Apr 19, 2013 11:26 pm

his led bars look like the way to go , low battery draw high lumens output

Subject: Re: LED, HID or standard lights? Fri Apr 19, 2013 11:29 pm

I have both and really I forget to turn the HIDs on.

Led bars are the only way to go. Less amp draw then stock lights and alot more light.

A kerosene lantern worked for my Grandpa, and it didn't draw any amps at all!

J/K, LED's are the best we have nowadays. If you want a lot of light, the LED's help stay within the electrical energy budget of the Rhino charging system.
