Right here!
If you'll look down in the right hand corner of our forum page, you will see one our supporting vendors is LED lights, I'd give them your business if I where you, since they support our group!

I got two 18w 6 led lights from amazon for $39.00 each. The problem with our buggy is it is a/c so when wired up they would flicker after a minuet of run time. So not sure how much they would draw I put one on the drivers side left the passenger side light wired up. Ran a wire from a overhead toggle switch to the battery and when running the voltage with the light off was 14.5 on it was 13.4. So I only ran it when it was dark on our last trip. It is super bright and didn't cause any charging issues or voltage problems, I would like to get a diode ac to dc converter but not quite sure how to do it yet.
This is a video of our last trip and could only ride at night due to the heat 106. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmZz6...=youtube_gdata Last edited by Johnny 5; 05-07-2013 at 10:01 PM. Reason: edit |

So are all gy6 150's ac powered? I have a spot on my dash for a cigar lighter powered outlet on my buggy so does this mean that all my lights and that power outlet is run off AC power? Kind of a noob to all this electrical stuff on buggies.

If your light turn on with the key they are dc, if they come on only with the motor running they are a/c. As for all the electrical know how I am still learning how it works. I was able to run the lights from the battery with a switch and inline fuse at the battery. I only ran them for about two hours or less and no problems so far, time will tell. But just I 18watt 6 led light is plenty for my buggy, plenty of light compared to the 2 15w lights.

baker3 what kind of buggy do you have? I would recommend not going over the watts your bulbs are now. I went with 18w because the lights in my buggy say 18w on the bulb. My owners manual says 15w so probably stay close to the stock watts. I am happy with the 1 led light and two would be crazy bright. They also sell 15w 5 led lights on amazon. I got the ones that are for work/offroad that can handle some bouncing around.

I got the Hammerhead GTS150. I looked in my owners manual and couldn't find the watts of my stock headlights. I planned on only getting 15W LED's just to be safe. I just want better lights because the ones on there now are a really crappy spotty beam pattern.

Just about any LED light would be an upgrade compared to stockers. The good thing about LED lights is they draw less than 1/10th of the power incandescent bulbs use, hence you can run a lot more LED's in their place. I plan to use some off road driving lights when the time comes.
